A video of Jaylon Kerley, a Detroit Tigers' baseball stadium employee, spitting in a pizza before serving it went viral this past weekend, resulting in the employee's immediate dismissal from his position. Shortly thereafter, Kerley was taken into custody and now faces felony charges for violating "food law."



The incident was brought to the public's attention by one of the man's coworkers, Quinelle May, who also tried to report the incident to his supervisors before being told to keep quiet. According to May, his superiors threatened him with criminal prosecution if he did not take the video down:

Every time I tried to talk, they told me to shut up.



May says that Kerley was "mad and having a bad day," at the time the video was captured, but also that he had "done it in the past."

Representatives of the ballpark released a statement saying:

As soon as we became aware through social media of potential food tampering Friday night, we immediately closed that food stand and disposed of all the product. Food safety is our top priority and we will take any appropriate action necessary to protect our guests.

People online were glad to see Kerley face consequences for his disgusting behavior:



Others admitted Kerley's behavior was reprehensible, but thought a four year prison stint might be a bit harsh:




Everyone agreed on one thing, however: we'll be staying away from the Tigers Stadium pizza for a little while.

People Divulge Their Biggest 'I F**ked Up' Experiences

As an editor, I am not just in charge of proofreading and correcting style and format. I am also in charge of making sure all the contact information provided, such as phone numbers and emails, work.

After working for 10 hours straight a few months ago, I forgot to check the phone numbers and let a brochure go to publication with a phone number that did not work.

Luckily, a similar mistake had actually happened before with another editor for another client a year prior, so contact info on print materials like this brochure were checked by every department rather than just editorial, and the mistake was caught.

Since I didn't know this, when I heard the phone number was wrong, my heart dropped to my stomach and I thought I was sure fired. Luckily, I was just told to make sure this never happens again. I was relived that there was no fallout, but when I first heard what happened, my only thought was. 'I totally f**ked up!'

Redditors are no strangers to this feeling, as they've made egregious mistakes themselves. They are only too eager to share their experiences.
