@mrwtffacts That’s TERRIBLE! Just out of curiosity, what brand of tape did be use and how exactly did he wrap her up? Again, TERRIBLE!

For research purposes only, of course.
@mrwtffacts He just needs to blame his testosterone hormones, they were just really out of wack that day. He can not be blamed for his actions when his hormones overruled his thinking. Can we get a go fund me set up for this guys defense?? anyone??

Is this Russia?
@mrwtffacts He’s probably been married for 30 years. He’s getting off on “time served” 👀
— FomoShopped (@Fomoshopped) October 20, 2026
That 30 years had to feel like dog years.
@mrwtffacts God forbid a man just wants to watch a football game in peace without having to explain what's going on every 5 minutes, then being assigned 12 different chores while the game is still going.

@mrwtffacts Dude. Just head to a sports bar.
— Lisa (@politeracy) October 20, 2026
Then, you have to tip and pay for overpriced beer.
@mrwtffacts His face is like "and I'd do it again" 🤣
— Ramze 🚀 Tesla • SpaceX (@ramzetravels1) October 20, 2026
His name is Terry Ward, and from this day forward, October 20th shall forever be know as Terry Ward Day. Happy Terry Ward Day, everybody.
