Woman spared jail over dog-poo curry
Friday Nov 2 15:36 AEDT
A Scottish woman has avoided a prison sentence after she admitted putting dog excrement in her husband's curry.
Jill Martin, 47, took drastic action after her marriage broke down and burst out laughing when her husband Donald started eating the dish at their home in Newton Mearns, Glasgow, Paisley Sheriff Court in central Scotland heard.
She admitted culpable and reckless conduct in May following the incident in March.
But Sheriff Susan Sinclair said that she would not send her to jail because her circumstances are "quite different" than at the time of the attack. She was discharged without punishment.
I can understand that it's a most read article cos I read it too and chose to show the myLot world.
What is it do you think that attracts us to this sort of thing?

Yeah, my partner stayed married even though he knew it was for her convenience only. Still, he's with me now and has never been happier! Some people do stay for the sake of the kids or for fear of what others will think, but that's wrong. the kids turn out messed up and confused and others gain a sense of power if you listen to them instead of your heart.

Oh my goodness, I would have never thought of that in a million years. But you'd think he would have known by the scent though. I have heard of women getting mad and feeding their husbands canned cat or dog food before..He(the husband) must have really ticked his wife off alot..This shold be a warning for all those men out there...lol

Eeew!..lol I wonder if he does too. I know I would possibly be nausated by it for a long time, but if he does I bet he analizes it and does a good sniff job first..Nope some men just never get the message it just sorta gets short circuited to their brains. Happy Holidays!

That is really funny!
I wouldn't have the guts to do it.
I think what draws us to them is we can understand the reasoning behind it even if we could or would never do it ourselves.

Maybe we read them cause its something cruel that is happening to someone else, but its something or something close to what we have all thought about doing! Like when your mad at your spouse, or signifacant other. I mean most of us would never do something like that to another human being, or at least i hope no one i know would! lol.. but it IS funny when it happens to someone else isn't it ? cause its not us!
I don't understand how she got caught lol. Did she just break out laughing and told him while he was eating it ? And who would call the police afterward and admit to just eating dog poo poo lol. That's pretty gross and funny. Thanks for sharing.

Can you imagine being married to someone so obnoxious and horrible that you were driven to do something like that? I've had a partner who drove me crazy. I became damaged in mind, body and spirit because of him...even if I had thought of doing something like that it wouldn't work for him..he was such a fussy eater thanks to his Mum spoiling him rotten.

Yes I had read that story in the local papers here (I'm Scottish too). It sort of gives me the horrors but boy he must really have p*ssed her off!
I think to go to these lengths she obviously really, really wanted to get back at him so I guess he must have done something pretty bad. Although I was more than a bit grossed out at the thought of it I had to smile when I read the bit about how she burst out laughing when he ate it. So funny!
I guess we like to read these things because most of us if we're honest have people we wouldn't mind taking some sort of revenge against. Maybe we wouldn't do something like that but still...

When I was 13, my Mum took me to the viewing of her Mum who had passed away. I was the only one home and MUm didn't want to go by herself. We all filed past the coffin to look and there was a hymn being sung while we returned to our seats. People were distressed and upset and I started to feel like giggling. My lip was trembling, I wanted to cry, wet my pants but I didn't want to giggle. It was awful.
I got the feeling this lady was also in a position she didn't want to be in. She felt driven to dosomething awful and ugly to her husband. I can see the humorous side to it but I think it was a serious thing in fact.

What I think, Ms Tickle, is that we read items such as this because they sound so unbelievable! I would never in my wildest imagination conceive of doing something like this. I've learned that people will go to extraordinary lengths to seek revenge for real or imagined wrongs. It just makes me glad that I am the kind of person who would rather just walk away.

LOL What a classic story! Maybe this kind of article attracts many people, cause maybe others who are having problems in their relationships/marriages would love to do the same thing...heehee. And hey, it's not murder or anything, but what a novel way of "revenge" Wonder if the husband tasted the difference?? LOL

Hi MsTickle,
Yes, that amused me very much! I dont know why Im attracted to strange and odd news, but Id rather read that then how some sicko 30 something year old sexually molested a 9 yr old, or how many more have been killed in Iraq; military soldiers or others, or how the gas prices are going up...again.
Perhaps it makes some of us feel a little bit better about our lives, and that thank goodness there is nothing THAT wrong in our marriages to have to resort to feeding our husbands, whatever it is they may do to p!ss us off, dog excrement. She couldnt even help but burst out laughing when he took a nice bite of the curry! It must have given her some sort of satisfaction.
Bay Lay Gray xx
