Parking space squeeze turns nasty


But we’re not talking a dinged door or scratched paintwork during a parking manoeuvre gone wrong. Oh no. It’s something far worse!!

From the Huffington Post (Weird News) 26/04/12:

There are worse ways to die, but you probably don't want to think about them, especially if you're a guy.

A Chinese man was reportedly killed last week when a woman squeezed his testicles until he collapsed during a fight over a parking space.

Was a slap round the face just not enough then?

An unidentified 41-year-old woman in China's Haiku City in the Hainan Province rode into town on her scooter to pick her child up from school. The woman tried to park in front of a local store, but the store owner, the 42-year-old victim, refused to allow it, China News 24 reported.

A scooter? Surely she could have found somewhere else to leave it? Heck, if her hand muscles are anything to go by, she could have popped her two-wheeled hotrod on her shoulder and walked to the school gate to pick up her kid!

The resulting fight escalated, leading the woman to call her husband and brother, who in turn got into a more violent fist fight with the shopkeeper, according to the website. At some point in the fracas, the woman grabbed the man's testicles and squeezed them until he collapsed. He was taken to a hospital for treatment and later died.

Parking disputes can get ugly just about anywhere. On March 26, Louisiana resident Shawntay Brown, 19, was arrested for biting a 15-year-old's breast during a brawl in Monroe.

Aren’t we just a lovely species?  Eye rolling smile
