Yet another one of Prado’s eternally put-upon everymen – this time, he owns a plant store full of ultra-expensive bonsai trees. When the woman can’t grasp that the trees are worth huge amounts of money, she and her precious child stomp the crap out of the owner. Here, we can see the aforementioned precious child urinating in a 200-year-old bonsai tree because he wanted to water it.

In most cases, the “protagonists” of these stories are not terribly sympathetic characters – although they are inevitably in the right. Here, I felt terrible for the guy. I still can’t understand why you would display at tree worth six figures where someone could urinate on it, but there you go.
