Cry-Baby of the Week: A Chef Threatened to Kill a Coworker Over the Best Way to Make Pizza

Also this week: A woman called the police because her neighbor called her a name.

It's time, once again, to marvel at some idiots who don't know how to handle the world:

Cry-Baby #1: Francesco Cristofaro

The incident: Two people working in a pizza place disagreed on the best way to make pizza.

The appropriate response: Shutting up. There is no conversation more tiresome than what constitutes good pizza. (Except maybe when people talk about which regional burger chain is the best. They all taste the same.)

The actual response: One of those workers threatened to stab the other.

Last month, 21-year-old Francesco Cristofaro was working as a chef at a pizza restaurant called Super Pizza in the hilariously named Fannie Bay in Australia.

According to a report by the Australian ABC News, Francesco got into an argument with a coworker about the "best way to make pizza."

The exact details of the dispute have not been reported, but the argument reportedly culminated in Frencesco chasing the unnamed coworker with a knife while yelling, "Tonight, I kill you!" Which suggests the coworker's pizza preparation method was extremely unorthodox.

Francesco appeared in court on Friday on charges relating to the incident. His lawyer reportedly told the court that Francesco is "a passionate cook that cares a great deal about the art of making pizzas."

Francesco was given a four-month jail sentence, suspended for 12 months.

ABC also reported that this is not the first time Super Pizza has made headlines. Back in 2012, they were in the news after a chef died in the kitchen and staff allegedly stepped over the corpse to continue serving meals. Seems like a pretty chill place to work.

Cry-Baby #2: Two unnamed women in Florida

The incident: Some neighbors exchanged insults.

The appropriate response: Nothing.

The actual response: They allegedly both asked police to file a report because their feelings were hurt.

According to a report in the Bradenton Herald, the Manatee County Sheriff's Office received a call last Sunday to report a "name calling" incident in Bradenton, Florida.

A deputy went to the scene and spoke to the woman who made the call. She reportedly told him that she "had hurt feelings" because her neighbor had been insulting her across the fence in her front yard.

According to the deputy, the woman's neighbor said "that she was a prostitute and that she should provide more of her services so she could afford to pay her electric bill."

The cop then spoke to the neighbor, who reportedly told him that the neighbor was "most likely a prostitute" and added that "her feelings were hurt because the caller was friends with their landlord and would make fun of her whenever she couldn't afford to pay her rent."

According to the Herald, both women "demanded a report documenting their hurt feelings be taken."

No arrests were made.
