Police say the man stormed out of the Icy Delights restaurant and slammed the door so hard that it broke the glass.

Police say the "act of lettuce rage" occurred during the busy lunch hour last Saturday.

The man had ordered three burgers to go and didn’t want lettuce or tomato on one, but the busy cook forgot.

Police say when the man complained, the cook removed the lettuce but that remedy didn’t seem to satisfy the man.

@!$%# you lettuce!

It would have been easier to take the lettuce and tomato off the burger and drive on down the road. He should be arrested for bad taste buds.

I know it gives me the giggles picturing this guy in a towering snit over some lettuce and a tomato slice.

Wow. He couldn't merely remove the lettuce and tomato himself? Before I stopped eating meat, I used to once in a while like to get sausage biscuits with cheese from McDummy's. It became a joke between my husband I could ask but they'd always put that nasty powdered egg disk on it. I'd take it off and either throw it away or my husband would eat it. [Shiver, shudder, ugh.] Little did I know I could have flung it at someone and smashed the plate glass. lol

Some people are plain nuts.

That was about toast, if I recall correctly, and quite hilarious. Yes.

The specific incident related to an order of toast - in the grand scheme of things though it was about dealing with petty-minded types who insist on sticking to the rules whether they make any sense or not. Conformity vs rebellion... all that 60s stuff. I believe it (along with Easy Rider) established Jack Nicholson's rep.

There is this little known religious cult, known as, T.E.M.E.R.C: which stands for The Extreme Meat Eaters Religious Cult. If you happen to prepare a meal for one of these cultist, be very mindful not to combine any vegetables with their meats. That would be a grave insult according to their belief system, and they might become angry enough to break glass.

If you are a vegetarian do not point that out to one of these cultist, they might become violent. vegetarian eating preferences are deeply offensive to them.

That's all true, I didn't make it up..........Really!

None of you apparently understand how enfuriating tomatoes and lettuce really are! lol I once punched a guy in the throat just for saying he MIGHT put tomatoes on my burger... that's not something to joke about.

This guy's got himself in a real pickle now,the police are going to ketchup to him any time now.He should have mustard all of his humility and turned himself in.I sure wouldnt want to be that guy when the cops start grillin him.Then he'll have to go to court and the judge is gonna toss his buns in some cheesy anger management classes and he's going to flip when he sees the whopper of a bill that'll be.But years from now,when all is said and done,it'll be a story he'll relish.Im hungry,see yall laters.
