Explaining his whopper of a pie purchase, the man wrote on reddit "‘This kid was out of control, screaming, punching his mother, throwing around a gameboy whenever something didn’t go right in the game." After the child started screaming for apple pie, the man asked the mother to settle the child down. However, he was ignored and told to mind his own business. 

'I then decide to ruin their day', writes the man, as he proceeded to buy all of the 23 remaining apple pies in the store.

The official Pierate statement is: it wasn't us (although we did recently have 28 Holland's Steak and Guinness pies).

We hope he thoroughly enjoys his pies - he deserves them. Mr Burger King pie man - we salute you.
