Awkward: The man stuck in a McDonald’s high chair (Picture: Imgur)

It started with an innocent McDonald’s Happy Meal and ended with police having to free a grown man stuck in a baby’s high chair.

A man in Cork, Ireland, was left truly embarrassed after getting himself stuck in the seat for toddlers at the fast food restaurant earlier this week.

The hungry customer had popped into the McDonald’s in the early hours of Tuesday morning before he landed himself in hot water with three unimpressed police officers.

A witness who snapped the unusual incident said the man had clearly had a few drinks before getting jammed in the grey seat.

He was eventually freed from his uncomfortable sitting position and released without charge, winning internet notoriety along the way.



The picture of his predicament was uploaded onto online image hosting service Imgur where it has been viewed thousands of times.

A McDonald’s spokesperson told the Cork Independent: ‘McDonald’s is aware of the incident involving a customer who decided to sit in one of our children’s high-chairs in Winthrop Street.

‘As you can see, we recommend that children don’t use the high-chair without adult supervision!’
