An angry anti-smoker in Germany was so peeved when his girlfriend lit up that he emptied a fire extinguisher to put out the cigarette, caking her and their apartment in powder.
‘My colleagues said it looked like a bomb had gone off in there,’ said a spokesman for police in the western city of Bielefeld, raising concerns about the ability of the German police to tell the difference between charred rubble and flame-retardant powder. ( )
‘He managed to put the cigarette out though.’
After the woman ignored his request not to smoke, the 42-year-old sprayed the contents of the extinguisher all around the flat shouting abuse, police said.
‘He said he wasn’t bothered by the damage it caused,’ the spokesman said. ‘And that he’s through with his girlfriend.’

She was an ass to smoke inside if he didn’t want her to. He was a bigger ass to do it.

Come on, you know you’ve been tempted to try it. I certainly have.

If I was in his situation, I might have gone as far as pouring a glass of water over her, but not spraying the whole flat with an extinguisher.

I wouldn’t have ruined the apartment to make a point. Isn’t that like cutting off your nose to spite your face?
That stuff is hard to clean up…and for any porous material, it may not come out at all.
I could see dousing her with a bucket of water…cuz at least water evaporates eventually.

Bit of a spaz if he managed to spray the ENTIRE FLAT while trying to put out her cigarette.
I mean, it should only take 2 seconds.

This clearly seems to have been (since the relationship is now over), a battle for ‘control’ and dominance. She pushed to be the dominant individual by doing exactly what she wanted in spite of his request. And he battled for control by responding inappropriately, carelessly and with negligence.
Both of them are immature, irresponsible and neither is at this time, suitable material for a solid relationship based on mutual respect or agreed upon compromise.

Would have been better if it was a CO2 one.. those things are *cold*.. and probably less toxic than the dry powder kind.

1: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. If it does what it says, you should have no problem with this.
2: What proof will you accept that you are wrong? You ask us to change our mind, but we cannot change yours?
3: It is not our responsability to disprove your claims, but rather your responsability to prove them.

At least he didn’t try the method used for putting out things like burning oil wells. . .throwing high-explosives at her would have been a bit messy.

It sounds like he had been watching WAY too much Benny Hill!
Either that or Monty Python reruns!

Sorry about the necropost guys. I came to the story through the links on the bottom of the page of the “foot found floating” thread. I failed to notice the date of the post and replies.
