Really, who hasn’t wanted to throw a computer through a window? It brings to mind that great scene from “Office Space” where the Initech worker bees wreaked revenge upon the fax machine.
But the incident that ended up with a felony charge being filed against a Frenchtown man has nothing to do with computer frustration.
Kenneth Ault allegedly was unhappy with how Transport Equipment handled repairs to his dump truck and spent a good chunk of Saturday dealing with that in highly inappropriate ways, according to this Missoulian report.
Ault allegedly chucked a computer through the shop’s window, went to jail, posted bond, and came back and tracked down Transport Equipment’s owner Steve Bidlake at the Frenchtown Bar and then punched him.
Missoula County Sheriff’s deputies say the two have a long and bitter business dispute.
