And I thought I didn't take losing well
From the department of "Guy, Get a Grip", we have this entry from Palm Beach, Florida, about a guy who lost a Christmas lights competition and reacted...well, let's just say he didn't take it too well...
A friendly Christmas lights competition at Parkside Apartments turned nasty Monday when one of the also-rans "became enraged" at his loss and pulled several lights from the winner's display, according to Martin County sheriff's reports.
"Friendly"??? (snicker)
Light-contest winner Donna Simmons-Groover told deputies a neighbor who thought he should have won ripped out some of her lights and unplugged two extension cords.
She said a witness told her the neighbor also tore down his own display "in a rage" and threw the decorations in a heap in a common area behind the apartment building.
Y'know, I hate losing more than the average "next guy" - but this is just plain silly... (rolls eyes)
