-VILLA RICA, Ga. — Authorities have charged a 29-year-old man with aggravated assault and false imprisonment after they allege he held his mother hostage for failing to iron his clothes. Carroll County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Marc Griffith said the man remained in jail Wednesday without bond. The unidentified woman was not harmed in the June 30 incident.
Griffith said the man, who lives with his parents, wanted his mother to do some ironing because it was "woman's work." When she refused, authorities allege he pulled out a gun, and took his 51-year-old mother's keys and cellphones and refused to let her leave for at least six hours.
She eventually escaped and went to a police station. Authorities were able to get the man out without incident.
Tough call here. I mean rule number one of hostage taking, you can't let the hostage know who you are. So unless this guy was rocking a ski mask, and ordering a woman (not by name or mom) to iron a new pair of trousers, he was in the wrong. Having said that, ironing is top 3 in regards to "woman's work", with dishes and laundry being 1,2. I mean I have no clue how to iron. I tried once last year and after five minutes of failure I realized it wasn't even turned on and I quit. So if there was a gun and woman handy, I probably would of done the same thing.
PS - I think it's borderline more ridiculous for the woman to escape being held hostage, than the guy to hold her hostage in the first place. This bitch wasn't in shawshank, just iron the fucking pants, its what you were made to do!
