If you are on this site, then you are probably a self-proclaimed foodie who would do nearly anything to get your hands on some gooey mac ‘n cheese, or perhaps a refreshing tropical smoothie. But when you say “anything,” what exactly do you mean? Scroll down to learn about nine individuals who broke laws, boundaries, and relationships to get the food that they craved.

While you may expect a three-year-old to get angry when a friend steals their cookies, you probably wouldn’t expect it to happen to a 31-year-old woman. Somehow, it did. After waking up and accusing her roommate of eating her box of Thin Mints, Florida native Hersha Howard proceeded to chase after her friend with scissors, eventually smashing her with a board and later a sign.

Close your eyes and imagine you are a police officer getting a call from a crazed woman about the lack of McNuggets at a nearby McDonalds. Unfortunately, for Fort Pierce police officers in Florida, this was no imaginary scenario. Latreasa Goodman was given a mandatory court order for calling 911 so many times over something that was clearly not an emergency.

We all know Pop-tarts are amazing, but would you call 911 on your own child for “stealing” them from your house? Well, 37-year-old Latasha Love from North Carolina did. We’re not sure what’s scarier though – a woman having her own son arrested for stealing Pop-tarts, or the fact that police actually arrested the kid.

If you work at McDonald’s, or really any restaurant, you should be wary of accidentally giving someone the wrong order. The workers who made this potentially fatal mistake in Michigan were met with a bullet flying through their window. Luckily, no one was injured, though we can only imagine how traumatizing the experience was.

Okay, can we really blame her for this? I mean, the girl wouldn’t share her perfectly good ice cream… the only issue is that this was actually a grown mother who slapped a 10-year-old girl for refusing to share her ice cream with the woman’s 4-year-old daughter. Oh, she also beat up the 10-year-old’s mother.

Back in 2015, a woman named Kate had the brilliant idea of using Tinder for the purpose of having pizza (and sushi, one time) delivered to her home. Essentially, Kate swiped right on every single person, and talked solely about pizza during her Tinder conversations until someone inevitably offered to bring her some.
