The court heard Shinner pulled a gun on a chef in Branxton, NSW, because he was angry over the quality of his sweet and sour pork.

Shinner pleaded guilty to using an offensive weapon at the restaurant.

This guy is obviously unhinged but I’m glad they included his complaints for the sake of completeness

"I wanted a decent meal, I mean, I asked for sweet and sour pork and I got rocks," Shinner said.

"The fried rice was all right, but the sweet and sour pork, it's supposed to be in a bowl with veggies and all that with it — it's just nothing like that and it was burnt, I was just peed off because I paid all that money and I got crap."
