An Italian man was arrested on suspicion of kidnapping his ex-girlfriend from a pub, taking her home and forcing her to iron his clothes and wash the dishes, police said on Monday.
The 43-year-old man dragged the woman out of a pub in the port city of Genoa, shoved her into a car and took her to his home where he made her iron and wash dishes after threatening her, they said. Police arrived at his house after being tipped off by a friend of the woman who watched the scene at the pub. Source.
Apparently it’s too much work to drive to the nearest dry cleaning service and have your clothes steamed. It’s much better to kidnap a woman in public and force her to do it for you. Free, too. As a bonus you get to spend the night in jail thinking of your pressed slacks. Nothing better, really.
In other news, my air conditioning decided to die right along with my microwave. Currently it’s 88F in my house, my ceiling fans are circulating hot fumes, and I’m busy peeling myself off the floor and collecting the sweat beads trickling down my face.
Life is swell.
