A man wanted just two slices of cheese on his sandwich, so when his wife used three slices in his grilled cheese sandwich, he became irate.

Angered at the sight of all the extra cheesiness, James DePaola became agitated and violent, yelling at the woman, Michele DePaola. According to WSB-TV, DePaola then ripped the landline out of the wall so his wife couldn’t call the police and reportedly screamed at her intensely. The couple’s 12-year old daughter who witnessed the incident called the police to the scene, according to Athens-Clarke County police.

James DePaola was charged with obstruction of a 911 call and criminal trespass/damage to property over what the police now refer to as “the grilled cheese incident”. DePaola has a history of “abusive behavior,” and was often “excessively critical and controlling of day to day things in life” like sandwiches, apparently.

    You said all that without saying anything remotely relevant to this situation. You should go into politics.

      Please please no. We need leaders who can do the boring stuff that keeps the lights on we have way too many ideological types right now. Just for once I would like to hear about some level of government announcing that the budget is balanced and debt is falling, also that stupid annoying thing that everyone hates is gone, plus there won’t be a strike this year.

        Sure but, have you heard that trans people want to be able to use public restrooms? Not sure how you can focus on things like the economy when there are real emergencies happening.
