I’ve heard of burning your bridges behind you, but this has got to be a first:
LONDON (AP) — A British man on Wednesday admitted delivering a package containing a venomous tarantula to a work colleague the day he handed in his resignation.
At Leicester Magistrates’ Court in central England, Mahlon Hector, 22, pleaded guilty to delivering a rare Mexican red-kneed tarantula in a box addressed to a woman colleague at the branch of the store Marks & Spencer in Leicester, where they both worked. At the same time, he handed store bosses his resignation.
The intended recipient, Susan Griffin, was not hurt.
Hector is to be sentenced later on the charge of sending a letter or other article conveying a threat on March 28. He did not reveal his motives in court Wednesday.
Dumbass.
