Have you ever had such bad service that you take things to the extreme? Maybe not even bad service but things haven’t been done the way you asked for them to be done?
A few weeks ago, we chatted about a woman who completely lost her cool when she experienced bad service over her WiFi. She lost it and almost had a complete mental breakdown. If you thought that was bad, wait till you read about this.

Daily Mail recently reported about a Taiwanese businessman known as 'Chu' who took extreme measures to show how unhappy he was when he drove a Porsche Cayenne worth £100,000 (about R1,7-million) through a dealership in West Taiwan.
Apparently, he ordered a new Panamera Sport Turismo back in January 2017 and paid a deposit to secure the vehicle. When it was delivered, he noticed that it did not come with the optional extras that he had allegedly asked for.
The dealership staff were firm that the original agreement he signed did not have the extras he wanted. He then refused to pay the balance owing and requested that the deposit is returned to him.

But the dealership didn't take lightly to his demands and threatened him withholding the deposit that he'd paid. It was at this point that he lost his mind and drove his luxury Porsche through the front of the dealership and rammed it through the front desk. Staff were seen in the video scurrying away in fear.
Shortly after, Chu was arrested by authorities and apologised for his actions, and added that his actions weren't intentional. He said that was trying to avoid another car in his path.
Investigations are ongoing in this bizarre case.
