One of my biggest pet peeves that I’ve acquired over the years is that of people yapping it up during a movie. I can’t stand that crap. If you really need to talk, get out. Texting I’m ok with. A little lit up screen is at least avoidable. Regardless, asking someone to shut up is a perfectly normal practice here in the states. However, Steve Whitmore of Los Angeles will no doubt think twice about asking such things of people after his little encounter at a local movie theater. Steve found himself sitting next to one of those very annoyances, and just as any of you would, asked the woman to cut if off. So she split (with two male accomplices), leaving Steve all happy with his movie. And then it got weird…
The two accomplices came back and had a talk with dear Steve. There talk of course wasn’t so much talking as it was a stabbing…in the neck…with a meat thermometer. Yes, a meat thermometer. While Steve himself was seriously injured (as was several good samaritans who came to his aid), he has so far lived to tell the tale.
Unfortunately, the meat stabbers are still at large. It’ll make you think twice…won’t it?

I heard about this yesterday morning on the news, WHO THE HELL CARRIES AROUND A MEAT THERMOMETER! Really! Was it a chef still in uniform with one in the pocket? Ugh
