A woman in Japan has been arrested for allegedly squashing a bun at a convenience store and leaving without buying the packet of bread.
Authorities in the southern city of Fukuoka confirmed to the BBC that the 40-year-old had been arrested on Monday for "criminal damage".
The woman, who said she was unemployed, claimed she "only checked the firmness of [the bun] by pressing lightly with my hand", according to police.
The woman had allegedly touched a bag of four black sesame and cream cheese buns. While the bag's wrapper was intact, police said one of the buns was damaged after she pressed it with her right thumb, and the entire bag could not be sold.
Police said the owner of the Lawson convenience store had claimed he had seen the woman squashing buns several times in the past.
As the woman was leaving the shop on Monday, the owner noticed the bun was damaged and he urged her to pay for the bread, according to police. The bag of buns cost about 180 yen (£0.95; $1.20).
She allegedly refused. After following her for 1km (0.6mi), the manager restrained her. The police were called to the scene and they arrested her.

Do not squeeze the Charmin. Especially in Japan! 🙂
Anyway, she was just telling folks without begging that she needed some dough. 😐
“They remain hot.”
There are hot-looking American women too. The problem, of course, is that they’re virtually all psychos, at least in Blue areas.
Funny episode.
Little Jack Horner; as you’ve never seen him before!
Better than bird spit soup !!!
I’m not kidding. The Japanese consider it a delicacy. It’s made from the nest of cliff dwelling birds (Swallows IIRC) and the nests are held together by bird saliva.
Good for you.
Lol
My Japanese wife is 62 and still could get it , and from younger guys . During our travels abroad , when I wasn’t around , she was hit on several times by a variety of guys from different races . I often see 60+ Japanese women , especially in the bigger cities where they tend to dress more modern and have more modern hair styles , etc...who are still very attractive .
This is no first-timer, this one is a cereal bun-squasher.
Lawsons, where this happened, is a 7-11 type store. From my japan travels, I can say 100% - they make the best egg salad sandwiches I ever ate. (Anthony Bourdain used to rave about them too).
Baker makes squishy buns! Doesn’t spring back up again! He is fraud! Fake baker! Where is Tojo when you need him!
It’s the Tai Chi. Great exercise routine.
“Definitely an upper-crust flour child but she may have had one in the oven.”
Please let’s avoid any half-baked puns.
That's like Russian girls (if you don't sweep them out of the country).
Average Russian girl age 20:
The same Russian girl age 30:
It's a hard life.
LOL, that’s why they say, before you marry a Russian woman, make sure to see what their mom looks like.
One of the more remarkable things I observed in Japan was the presence of vending machines on the streets that offered beer and whiskey to anyone, no ID required, just the cash.
They smoke like chimneys and drink like fish.
If mom's still around. Quite likely she died of old age at 50. Ten years after her dad died of either alcoholism or falling into the crucible furnace at the steel foundry (while drunk).
