« « David Jansen’s Plans Were Foiled By The Pizza Guy | Long-Standing Feud Between Neighbors Ends Badly » »

Deltona, FloridaWhen it comes to household chores, I admit, I have a few iron-clad rules. If the socks and towels aren’t folded properly, I get buggy. If the toilet paper roll is on backwards, I develop a tic. If the dishes aren’t loaded into the dishwasher in a particular fashion, I break out in hives. But, I can honestly say that I have never actually strangled another human being for allowing the forks to mingle with the spoons in the dishwasher.

Joseph Strauch

Joseph Strauch took his anal-ism a bit too far Wednesday afternoon when his 74-year-old girlfriend loaded the dishwasher the wrong way. He freaked the hell out and knocked the crap out of her. That wasn’t enough to show his displeasure in her dirty dish arrangement, he also strangled the woman until she lost consciousness. The woman was taken to the hospital with cuts and bruises and red marks around her neck.

Strauch, 82, was arrested and charged with battery by strangulation. His bond was set at $5,000. Seems Strauch might have an anger management problem…court records show that he punched a 68-year-old man after the man complained about Strauch taking his grocery bag away. Crotchety old fucker….

    He needs a bigger, badder old man to show him it’s not nice to beat up old ladies.  Screw the nursing home.

    It will be another 20 years possibly before most of the angry shovanistic generation of old men are dead.  The problem still lies in passing this to the next generation.  There are young men out there who beat the crap out of their wives, still feel women are near worthless human beings and believe that they are here to serve men (mostly in the kitchen and the bedroom).  Most likely this horrible behavior was passed down from their fathers.  You need a license to drive a car, yet any idiot can have a child.

    Men who are convicted of physcial domestic violence should be put in a room with a bunch of angry abused women who have bats and other weapons.  They can beat these men to death and that should be the man’s  sentence.  That’s my opinion anyway.  Our laws are much too lenient.
    Oh and I am a man by the way, not some angry abused woman if that’s what you assumed.  I have never even thought of striking a female, even when I have been slapped by one.  I feel that we are all equal…even if they tend to love drama and enjoy when there is a problem to discuss rather than solve it and move on. =)

    My husband does not know how to load the dishwasher. I don’t think beating the crap out of him is going to make him learn. I’m just happy he puts them in there… then all I have to do is re-arrange them.

    I always put the forks and spoons together in the dishwasher. Gives them a chance to mix it up, so to speak. In the drawer, they are forever separated by the cold plastic walls of the cutlery organizer. At least in the wash they can meet new silverware, perhaps tryst amongst the rinse cycle.
    Besides, the forks and knives have to protect the impressionable spoons from those slutty dishes, otherwise they’ll run off and one morning you’ll wake up and have to eat cereal with your hands.

    Thank you, Dr Awkward. And here I thought the reason I was mixing the forks in with the spoons was so that the spoons would not fit themselves against each other so closely they don’t get clean.  :P

    I love your take on the nursery rhyme! I will forever think of you when loading the dishwasher and remember  that I am just protecting the spoons!

    This guy could be a grumpy old fuck and maybe he truly is senile????  Either way get him away from society somehow.

    You know, I wonder… What happens when a violent person goes senile? Do they tend to get more calm, or are they even more unpredictable?

    I can only speak for my family, but “more calm” is not how I would describe it. “More unpredictable” is just the tip of the iceberg. Luckily for us, so far, it’s only verbal, still hurtful, but still very unpredictable. You can almost feel the sting as if you were slapped in the face. (No more family reunions for us.)

    Yes, it’s really so simple. Hell, just even getting them in the right room is sometimes an accomplishment. Just let it go ….

    LOL Nothing like playing Easter egg hunt all over the house looking for dishes!

    If this man is suffering from Alzheimer’s, his demeanor could very well change into combativeness even if he was a mild man before. Yes, even to the point of strangulation. In any case, he does need to be put away from society before he actually kills someone.

    WOW.  you could come up with a WHOLE different Cow Jumped over the moon story here…

    Is it me, or does this old fart look like he already has the bad make up that they use to make corpses look less dead?
    He must still have money…can’t see any other reason for him to have a GF.

    Jesus! he has other things going on. nobody is that anal.
    It never even occurred to me in 46 years to sort the silverware before it was cleaned, and I have loaded the dishwasher 3 times.
