Alright ... I've now been convinced humanity is on a giant downwards slide.
This woman comes into my work today and purchases some escargot plates. She comes back five hours later with her hands bandaged up and the plates in pieces.
She says she put the plates in the oven and went to take them out and they broke.
So - she says it's the stores fault and wants her money back, plus damages. She rants and raves and calls the cops to the store.
Cops show up and tried calming her down and told her that there wasn't anything that they could do, it was a civil matter. The only thing she could do is sue the store (which the suit would be thrown out anyways ...).
So, instead of admitting defeat, the woman yells, berating the cop for his indifference and then slaps him.
Cop pulls out his ticket book and writes her a ticket for assaulting a cop and public nuisence.
Now ... I've thought about this a bit since I've got home from work. If the plates were hot enough coming from the oven that they broke, why was she taking them out with her bare hands? That debunks her injury claim. Even if she cut herself cleaning up the mess, that can't possibly be the stores fault.
The funny thing I find about this is the fact that just last night I was talking with my dad about all the stupid lawsuits out there - like the dude that spilled coffee on his crotch and then sued McDicks because they didn't tell him the coffee was hot.
So I figured, damn, if I lived in the States where this shit actually gets allowed in court and could get millions of dollars for something dumb ... well ... I'd just break some glass and then sue the company that made it for making their glass so sharp and then the store that sold it to me for selling me shoddy merchandise.
So, seeing what happened today ... apparently I'm not the only person that thinks fucked up when they're stoned ... and I'm also appanrently slower to testing it out than someone else.
Bonus laugh - stupid question of the day - "Can I listen to the dialouge of a DVD if I put it in my CD player?"
