Back in July, someone decided to be a pain in the ass by sticking toothpicks into the seats of public buses. A Facebook post about an encounter with the pointy prank caused alarm among all owners of butts.

Earlier today, the man believed to be behind the barbed antics was dragged to court to face piercing justice. Lim Lye Seng, 60, has been charged with four counts of mischief, reported The Straits Times, and he was accused of committing the offences four times between July and August.

Lim is said to have stuck three toothpicks on each bus seat on board SBS bus service number 123M.

The man intends to plead guilty to his offences, and plans to engage a lawyer to represent him when he returns to court on Sep 27.
