The line that gets me is this: "I left crying, everybody's staring at me. I was so embarrassed," she said. "Then I went home and called the newspaper."

Some of that made no sense until I looked up what the hell a "Timbit" is.

They sell Timbits at the Tim Hortens near me. Also called doughnut holes?
THey are the dough that was punched out of the centre of the doughnut when they make it. they cook it, and roll it in powdered sugar, or peanuts, or glaze, or chocolate, and other things.
Y'all've seriously never heard of Timbits? Maybe they're only called that around here because of our proximity to Canada.

Dunkin' calls them Munchkins.
I can honestly say I abhor the name "Timbits" because it forces me to think of Nix in a manner wholly unintended by nature.

Yes, they are donut holes and yes, that's the generic name for them in the US, but while they used to be holes from the making of donuts, they are now made separately from the donuts and are not their remaining holes anymore. I apologize for the run-on sentence.

I don't really see that time was a factor. Just greed and zealousness and maliciousness and all-around jerkitude.
