Woman torches man’s car because he wouldn’t buy her a McFlurry

Woman torches man’s car because he wouldn’t buy her a McFlurry

What would you do for a Klondike bar? Now, what would you do for a McFlurry?

A woman in Florida set fire to a man’s car after he refused to buy her a McFlurry ice cream at McDonald’s, the Huffington Post reported. Talk about anger management. This deranged woman actually went nuts over a McFlurry! If it were a shamrock shake I might be more sympathetic, they are, after all, only here for a limited time...

Witnesses watched as the couple’s argument over the tasty frozen treat escalated inside a McDonald’s restaurant on Beach Boulevard around 12:30 a.m. Sunday.

Witness Sabryna Mare, who was standing in front of the couple in the McDonald’s line, says she heard them arguing over the McFlurry and the man was having none of it.

“Next thing you know, she says ‘I’m going to blow it up,’ and we were wondering what are you going to blow up?” said Mare.

That’s when the argument escalated.

Mare told ActionNewsJax that the woman grabbed the man’s keys and ran outside. She reportedly opened the car, grabbed a bottle of alcohol and some gasoline, then poured it all over the vehicle. With the strike of a match, the car was engulfed in flames.

Bystanders tried to help the man put out the fire engulfing his 1994 El Dorado when Jacksonville Fire and Rescue arrived on scene to put out the burning vehicle.

Witnesses say the woman ran through a nearby parking lot and was never seen again.

Apparently once officials had extinguished the fire, the man and his toasty vehicle were gone, too.

“It was one second here, one second there, gone. Later we saw the car parked on the side of Beach Boulevard,” said Mare.

Maybe the couple rendezvoused at a local Baskin Robbins instead — at least they have 31 flavours to argue over there.
