WOW!
VILLA RICA, Ga. -- Authorities charged a 29-year-old Villa Rica man with aggravated assault and false imprisonment after they allege he held his mother hostage for failing to iron his clothes.
Carroll County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Marc Griffith said Robert Edward Tyrrell Jr. remained in jail Thursday without bond.
The woman, identified as Billie Jo Tyrrell, was not harmed in the June 30 incident.
Griffith said Robert Tyrrell, who lives with his parents, wanted his mother to do some ironing because it was "woman's work."
According to the arrest report, Billie Jo Tyrrell told officials she couldn't get her iron to work and she was trying to read the instructions when her son became irate, pulled out a gun, and took his 51-year-old mother's keys and cell phones and refused to let her leave for at least six hours.
She eventually escaped using a spare key and went to a police station, officials said. Authorities were able to arrest Robert Tyrrell without incident.

"I want me some french-fried potatoes, uh huh"
If I had said that to my mother when I was 29, she would have laughed in my face.
As it was she told her friends that she had the best son ever. I never came over to rob the fridge or do laundry. I called once a week just to let her know I was alive.
I have a feeling, when the fellow inmates hear about this he'll be.........uh.........doing some sort of "womens work" in jail.
haha, thats what my co-worker said "So you think laundry is women's work eh? To the laundry room!!"

Mine would have laughed in my face then kicked my a$$
The last time I mouthed off to my mother she threw a can opener at me. Not the little hand opener, the big electric one off the counter. I ducked and it went through the big expensive bay window I was standing in front of. As I was fixing the window with my own money all she had to say was "That will teach you to not duck."

I have to wonder if some type of substance abuse is involved.

I moved out of my mothers house at 19, never, never went back. She probably would have called the sheriff's office if I tried to move back. There were some problems involved.

She stopped ironing my shirts when I learned that flat side of the iron with the little holes in it is hot. Hell, I can't even get my wife to iron my shirts.
