Who Throws A Muffin At A Woman? Craigslist Rant Is Livid
A woman took to the "missed connections" section of Craigslist to vent about being attacked by a muffin-throwing man at the commuter rail.

WORCESTER, MA—It's the stuff of a Seinfeld script. Friday, a woman, so furious at the incident that took place at the Worcester commuter rail (we're guessing), marched fired-up to the "missed connections" section of Craigslist. If you've never perused this section, it's basically what it suggests: people trying to find other people, quite often someone they found attractive in a store or driving a FedEx truck.
In this case, it was about a muffin-wielding man who chucked the baked good from a car at the leg of an unsuspecting woman.
The poster writes, "I don't even know what to think of that as. Baked blasphemy? A drive-by muffing? What on earth possessed you? I was cold, already angry, already dour, waiting for a public transportation vehicle that undoubtedly smelled of piss to come and pack me in with the rest of the unwashed masses desperate to get the hell off the moment they got on. And then pow, to the back of my hamstring. And it hurt-initially I thought a rock had been kicked up by a passing vehicle and struck me haphazardly on the leg. But no, I turned and there it was. The f**king muffin. It looked like a corn muffin."
