Bear repellent, it turns out, is potent
Written by: Beck
I can see
this happening just about anywhere (because people everywhere do stupid things):
A student caused chaos at Kwansei Gakuin University on Tuesday evening when he decided to test out some bear repellent inside a university building, police said.
Eight students from the university's lacrosse club were left suffering from sore throats and other symptoms brought on by the offensive smell, which wafted into the lacrosse club room.
Police said the 20-year-old student, a member of an outdoor expedition team, sprayed the American-made repellent inside the corridor on the fourth floor of the student union building at about 8 p.m. on Tuesday to see how well it worked.
But
this could only happen in Japan (because they take abiding the law freaky serious):
However, after learning from a school notice board the smell had caused chaos inside the building, he turned himself in to the Nishinomiya Police Station and apologized to the lacrosse club.
