Melinda Hofmann has owned The Bomb Squad in Bend, Oregon for ten years. Her business is always picking up…dog waste from people’s yards.
Then one day last week she snapped.
She tried to collect a past due $150 payment from customer Deborah Dillow, but Dillow wasn’t home. Instead of leaving her a note, Hofmann decided to “give her poop back.”
But then she got carried away and started flinging dog poop from her truck, 30 gallons of it, according to the police report, on Dillow’s front yard.
"Actually, once I started doing it, I kind of lost all rational thought together and I just got into this mode of emptying bags," she said. "And as I was flinging the poo all over her yard - it felt really good, and I just kept doing it." source
Hofmann was taken away in handcuffs, charged with criminal trespassing, criminal mischief and offensive littering, leaving Dillow and her neighbors to clean up the mess.
I’m thinking that after this episode Hofmann should seek employment elsewhere.
But probably not at the post office.

Well, this sort of threat worked for the Ghostbusters. But they didn't have to carry it out.

LMAO Great story! Maybe she should get into a new line of work.

Heehee! Mom isn't sure whether to laugh, or feel sorry for the poor woman who snapped - I mean, picking up poop all day long has got to be a bit, uh, trying...

I learned from my grandfather never to mess with bartenders, waiters/waitresses or cooks. I guess there's another occupation to add to the list.
