This Is Straight Up Gross WTF?! Man Releases 100 Bed Bugs On A Desk In A City Office...Where Did He Get Them?

Stop me if you've heard this one: a guy walks into a city office and proceeds to dump a cup full of live bed bugs onto the counter and EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW!

Okay, so we have to ask the important questions: who in their rightful damn minds would do this (EW) and why????? 

So here's the scoop: an unnamed man walked into City Center, a city government office in Augusta, Maine, and went to the general assistance office. He asked for a form to request assistance but the staff told him he did not qualify.

The man complained to the code enforcement office about the bed bug-ridden building (where he acquired the cup full of bed bugs). But that wasn't enough, he showed his cup 'o bugs to a manager at his new apartment building! Basically dude was pissed, and rightfully so. Which isn't to say that his actions were justified, but DAMN. 

It was when he was denied by general assistance that he slammed the cup down, releasing all of the 100-or-so live bed bugs into the office, with some landing directly on a city employee. 

If you've ever dealt with bed bugs or know anything at all about them, those little critters are nasty, and they are damn near impossible to get rid of. You bring even one of those hijackers home with you as an unwanted house guest, and you might as well just take everything you own outside and burn it. 

City Manager William Bridgeo took swift action and shut the whole building down immediately, keeping it shut until pest control could come in and spray to kill any remaining bed bugs. This story's real hero, though, is finance director and assistant city manager Ralph St. Pierre, who sprayed Windex on the counter to immobilize the bulk of the bugs and wiped them up off the counter and out of existence with paper towel. 

Yuck!
