Woman got rather slashy over forgotten birthday

And nope, wasn't Florida Woman. It was Pennsylvania Woman telling Florida Woman to hold her beer.

A Pennsylvania woman who turned 55 Wednesday assaulted a male acquaintance with a box cutter because she had not received a present, card, or cake to mark the occasion, according to court papers.

Cops say that Georgia Zowacki was celebrating her May 15 birthday when matters turned stabby at her Pittsburgh-area residence.

As reported in a probable cause affidavit, David Rae, who has lived with Zowacki for four months, told police that Zowacki “consumed a large amount of vodka throughout the day.” Rae, 59, added that Zowacki eventually “became extremely upset and violent because nobody bought her a birthday present, birthday card or birthday cake.”

Incensed, Zowacki allegedly “grabbed a box cutter knife” and held it near Rae’s throat “threatening to kill him.” Rae told police that he shoved Zowacki away, but that she came back at him “waving the box cutter.” Rae, the affidavit notes, suffered several cuts on his left arm during the altercation.

I always think that people around me should make a huge fuss on my birthday, but I wouldn't be like that if they forgot.
