Stress-ball warehouse worker punches boss in face, pulls knives

2/21/2013

Darren Baldwin worked at a novelty product company in Blackpool, England, packing stress balls for a living. So though it's not exactly like (as Alanis would say) "rain on your wedding day," it was pretty ironic that when fired, Baldwin punched his boss in the face before brandishing two knives and screaming threats, like "I'll cut you up." Though warehouse work isn't exactly a party, we'd venture a guess that, in light of his overreaction, Baldwin must not have been using those damn stress balls he'd come to know so well. [Source]
