Student sorry for mac and cheese tirade, says he’s ashamed
A hangry University of Connecticut student nowinfamous for his munchies-meltdown over jalapeño-bacon macaroni and cheese released a cheesy apology video, and told people to stop sending him the meal.
In the video, Gatti acknowledges he was drinking and says at one point: “I’ve got a few problems I am addressing”.
Gatti, of Bayville, N.Y., has not returned phone calls or an email seeking comment.
And to top off Gatti’s apology? He described his son several times as having done something terribly wrong.
Growing violent, Gatti was eventually taken down from behind by another employee as befuddled bystanders gathered.
“At the time I was, to say the least, very intoxicated”, Gatti said.
Since the mac and cheese outburst, he said, his family has been subjected to a “barrage of yelling, screaming, cursing, obnoxious, horrible, hateful, spiteful people” critical of his son’s actions. “That’s really a sad state”, he said, adding that the threats and insults have come “repeatedly and in alarmingly large numbers”. Enlarge AP Luke Gatti was arrested and charged with breach of peace in the second degree and criminal trespass.
He says he was shocked when he first saw the video of his tantrum. They are discussing ways to do something special to recognize the dining services workers, “not just for the handling of this incident, but also for the ongoing hard work and great service they provide our students, employees and guests”, she said. And I didn’t listen to him. “No one deserves to be treated that way”. “I couldn’t even believe it was me in it”. “I was watching it and thinking, ‘Oh my God. What the hell’s wrong with me”. The thing that has always gotten me into trouble is my big mouth. “I talk and talk, I don’t know when to shut up”.
‘Generally speaking, any UConn student found to have violated the provisions of the Student Code may face penalties imposed by the Division of Student Affairs that range from probation to expulsion, ‘ Stephanie Reitz, a spokesman for the University of Connecticut, told DailyMail.com.
Rumsey, 19, of Exeter, R.I., said she is in discussions with the school about how to make sure the food service workers legally benefit from the donations.
