He must have been really cheesed off.
An enraged Baltimore man opened fire at his home after someone took a bite out of his grilled cheese sandwich, sparking an hours-long standoff with police as he barricaded himself inside, authorities said.
Cops were called to the Dundalk, Maryland, home in response to a domestic incident around 5 p.m. Sunday, WBAL-TV reported.

Although no one was struck by the gunfire, police officials said the unidentified man fired the weapon in a meltdown after either his wife or daughter had a taste of his grilled cheese sandwich.
“Apparently, the man had made a grilled cheese sandwich and either the wife or the daughter, we’re not exactly sure who, but somebody, one of the females in the house, took a bite of his sandwich, and apparently, that enraged him to the point that he fired shots in the house,” Baltimore County police spokesman Cpl. Shawn Vinson told the station.
