An impatient diner at a Denny's restaurant became so irate at being made to wait for his bill that he decided to take matters into his own hands.

WOAI reported that the man set fire to the Christmas tree in the I-35 location of Denny's in San Antonio, Texas, causing $150,000 worth of damage before fleeing the scene...

It's unclear whether he actually paid and unlikely that he left a tip.

And at another of America's iconic eateries:

A Pennsylvania man has been charged with assault and disorderly conduct for his alleged rampage last month at McDonald’s, a meltdown reportedly triggered when his drive-thru order contained a hamburger with an unwanted piece of cheese...

According to cops, Varone became irate on November 30 after he “found his sandwich had cheese on it which was not what he ordered.” After he was provided a second hamburger--which also had cheese--Varone parked his vehicle and entered the McDonald’s.

Inside the restaurant, Varone allegedly began yelling at workers (one of whom he called a “f*g bitch”) and demanded a refund. After getting his money back, Varone knocked over a trash can and “picked up a children’s high chair, hoisted it above his head and threw it towards another dining table” in the crowded restaurant.


Followed outside by the female manager, Varone grabbed her, placed her in a headlock, and grabbed a cordless phone from her hand and smashed it on the ground. As a result she suffered a sprained knee and a fractured tibia during the scuffle with Varone.

I ask you, haven't we all experienced undue stress due to holiday shopping?

Not me! I do amazon. No need to deal with the crazy people anymore.
