With so many pranks already exhaustively aggregated on the internet, it may be hard to imagine surprising anyone with something they haven’t seen before. Tom Matthews, who goes by the curious handle “Grim Fandango,” from Penzance, Cornwall, in the southwest of England, found himself the victim of a sneaky jab.

As the story goes, Matthews, who has multiple piercings, including a labret, the technical term for a chin piercing, was at a local pub. He had stepped outside for a cigarette when some prankster had the nerve to loop and lock a padlock through one of his rather large-sized ear-piercing holes, leaving him unable to remove it and fuming.
