I read this morning that a 19 year old guy was arrested by police in QLD for burping at a local police station. He was charged with being a public nuisance, after he burped in the face of an admin assistant - twice.
They told him to stop burping but then he began "swearing, became abusive to police and aggressive in front of others including an elderly woman waiting at the counter". Then he burped again.
They don't actually know why the guy came into the police station in the first place, but I'm guessing he is now regretting his decision.
Obviously the alleged burper wasn't one for practising manners, or respect for others. Anyone else cringe at this, or do you think t's ridiculous that he was arrested for it?
Why not while you're at it, put out there other things that 'tick you off' when you see them in public. I'll start with spitting in the street. So unecessary.
