(NewsCore) - A Dutch railway worker was fired from his job for sawing a colleague's vuvuzela in half in a fit of rage, the Haarlems Dagblad reported Thursday.
Nels van Toor says soccer-mad colleagues brought the instrument to work and blew them constantly during Netherlands games.
The final straw apparently came when co-workers attached one of the controversial horns to a compressed air pump, producing a constant, ear-splitting drone.
Van Toor, 44, grabbed the vuvuzela and hacked it in half.
Bosses at Nedtrain in the northern city of Haarlem fired him on the spot, the Dutch newspaper reported.
"It made the most unbelievable noise. It is vuvuzela terror," van Toor told the Haarlems Dagblad.
