When you’re paying $5.80 for a sandwich, it’d better be one freaking good sandwich.  Henrik Ulven, a 52-year-old Norwegian, was flying on a Ryanair flight from Berlin to Oslo when he encountered problems with the service.  First, one hot meal was unavailable.  Then, a second hot meal was also not available.  Frustrated, he ordered a standalone chicken premium sandwich from the stewardess.  When he got a rubbery, disgusting mess, he flat out told the attendant he refused to pay for such a crappy, inedible meal, so when the plane landed at Rygge Airport, Ulven was arrested for not paying for his food.

“I first ordered a hot meal which they didn’t have and then I asked for a second hot meal which they didn’t have either,” he told the Irish Independent.  “I asked the girl what they actually had and I ordered a ‘chicken premium sandwich’, which cost €4.50 and was supposed to have been ‘freshly made’.  My money was in my jacket in the overhead locker so I told her I would pay her when I was able to get up again.  The sandwich looked nice and healthy but when I tasted it, it was soft and rubbery and nothing at all like it looked in the photo.  I called the girl and said I was not paying for that.”

To be fair, the stewardess did tell him she’d have to tell authorities that he refused to pay, but bad food is something no airline passenger should have to put up with.  Granted, it is a budget airline, but still!  At least give the guy ONE of the many available meals if he asks for it!

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
