This Man Was Left Furious When A Stranger Locked a Padlock To His Earlobe

The ear stretching fad has become more and more common since the mid 00's.

One prankster saw that as an opportunity for mischief by going around and padlocking people’s earlobe holes.

Tom Grim Fandango Matthews who posted this unfortunate picture on social media. Apparently someone snuck up right behind Tom, threw the padlock into the big ear hole, and then clicked it locked while taking off!

Needless to say, getting the thing off once it's locked in place and you don't have the key is more than a hassle.

While Tom opened up the window for foul play by stretching out his earlobe, he also opened up the window for some epic social media responses:

Tom was able to get the padlock off eventually using some bolt cutters. No doubt he'll be watching his back from now on hoping not to be victim of a padlocked earlobe.
