Kristofer Pregent, 22, used to work in a chocolate factory in Vermont. But one day he decided he didn’t want to work there anymore, so he did what any rational human being would do in an attempt to get fired: he borrowed a co-worker’s phone and called in a bomb threat. He was fired…but he also got a nice visit from the police.
