At approximately 11:00 a.m. on December 28, a male subject refused to let a computer technician leave the residence until his computer was fixed. The suspect allegedly had a gun in his possession and threatened to kill the victim. Joseph Nestor Mondello, 50, of Arlington VA was arrested and charged with abduction.
[...] The repair guy, a Dell technician, told Mondello that he needed to leave to get a part to fix his PC. This made Mondello very cross. "You're not leaving this house until the computer is fixed", he said and then left the room--to return with a gun. He then issued this threat: "I am going to kill you slowly", police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck told local press.
Luckily for the technician, Mondello's wife heard the commotion and intervened, enabling him to escape. The gun turned out to be a replica but, still, a bad customer experience...or, to be more accurate, a very bad experience with a customer.
It's gonna be hard to beat this one, but I'm betting there are some good stories waiting to be told by Soylentils.
