Police: Man assaulted at Tega Cay (SC) Taco Bell for failing to say ‘excuse me’ after belching
The State ^ | 17 Mar 2014 | Jonathan McFadden

TEGA CAY — A Fort Mill man sitting down to eat at a Tega Cay Taco Bell told police a man upset that he did not say “excuse me” after belching hit him with a chair, wrapped his hands around his throat and tried to head butt him inside the restaurant on Sunday.

Police responded to the Taco Bell on West S.C. 160 at about 4:30 p.m. after a man, 20, reported that he had been assaulted inside the restaurant, according to a Tega Cay police report. The victim told police he and his friend had been sitting in a booth eating when a man sitting with a woman asked the victim if he just belched without saying “excuse me.”

The man then walked over to where the victim was sitting, picked up a chair and hit the victim on the left elbow with it, the report states. The victim told police the man grabbed his throat and tried to head butt him. A restaurant employee went up to the assailant and told him he had to leave the premises, the report states.

The man walked out of Taco Bell and got into a white truck, possibly a pickup, the report states. The victim suffered a minor cut on his elbow along with redness around his throat. No one inside the restaurant was able to get the pickup’s license plate number. The restaurant’s manager told police he was unsure if the surveillance cameras recorded the incident.

Police have not made any arrests and the suspect is still unknown. The victim declined to comment on Monday.

Talk about an overreaction. But it’s hard to imagine no one would get a license plate number.

You know Bob Gunton,the tall,bald actor who played the Chief as well as the evil warden in ‘The Shawshank Redemption’?

Back in November 2012 I had sent him a message on facebook in which I wished him a Happy Birthday. Well,he responded a few weeks later with a sweet,kind message in which he thanked me for my ‘support and encouragement’ and at the end he wished me the very best. I damn near fell off my bed!

Several years ago I had consumed too much of their food and it actually made me vomit because of the terrible indigestion it gave me.

It was all grease going down and coming up. The remnants of my meal were actually separated because of the grease.

I just can’t handle eating greasy food anymore.

If he had farted then the man would have said, "How dare you fart in front of my wife."

To which he would have replied, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was her turn."
