HOUSTON -- Road rage? Try restaurant rage. A 34-year-old man apparently angry that his $6 steak and cheese sandwich was too cold was arrested on a charge of threatening to kill the restaurant manager Wednesday.
Police said the manager offered to reheat Devlin B. Nelson's sandwich or make him a new one when he complained. Authorities allege he instead demanded a refund, threw the sandwich at the manager, then threatened to kill her and blow up the restaurant.

Nelson, a Houston public works employee, has been relieved of his duties pending the outcome of the investigation. He remained in custody Thursday.

Can't say as I've ever threatened an employee when food was cold! May have complained and got it heated or fresh but offer to kill the manager or blow the place up? Err.. no!

woah. i know people who could have done worse. i'm surprised this didn't end up in another McDonalds case. :D

I wonder if he had fries with that?

eek! cold fries!

Eww, that would be bad! Fries cold? (blech)
