Thats what you hear from every nostalgic European that went back for a week and had a sudden epiphany about how much the old country rules and how much America sucks (yet they came back anyhow). Well, you won’t get that from me – stories like this one is why the only Europe I’m interested in seeing is exactly two miles away at World Disney Epcot.
Now that my fiance is unplugging her keyboard to bash me to death, allow me to introduce you to a story of the lovely people I crossed the Atlantic to get away from:
Serb burns car rather than pay fine
BELGRADE (Reuters) - A Serb man set his car on fire when he heard how much he had to pay to reclaim it after it was towed away for illegal parking.
An attendant told the daily Press the man was very calm.
“He went to his car, took a few things then opened the hood and set the engine on fire. When it was well ablaze he got back on his bike and rode off.”
Now on one hand, thats messed up. On the other hand, you have to admire the dedication. Most of us would probably just light it up and leave. This man lit it, hung out to make sure it took, then rode away on his bike with satisfaction that the impound would have to pay for more towing, disposal and cleanup of his car. F’n brilliant.
