So you may or may not have heard about the story about a couple of men in a spinning (i.e. indoor cycling) that got into a little fracas. Frankly, I am encouraged that the jury had the sense to find the defendant not guilty. Anyone that has worked out within earshot of a grunter knows how obnoxious it is. This guy went above and beyond just grunting as you can read in the articles below.
The grunter (aka Stuart Sugarman) was given fair warning but insisted on making his outbursts. Our hero (aka Christopher Carter) took it upon himself to make the class safe and idiot-free for his fellow spinners.
This the funniest story I've read about in awhile but it also reinforces the fact that we should not have to tolerate such nuisances in society.
Wrap up of the trial:

I'll be posting a survey later today to pose a question to related to this story. Also, are there other annoying people (e.g. tone-deaf people who sing in public, slow drivers in the left-hand land, etc.) that deserve a similar fate? Please share your views.

When you post the survey, my answer will be "coworkers who speak loudly to themselves."
