Thank goodness!!! NOt sure if you have heard, but there was this judge in Washington D.C. who apparently lost a pair of pants in a dry cleaning shop. After some back and forth with the shop owners (first they could not find the pants, then they did) the judge decided to sue the shop owners for damages in the millions, over 60 million to be precise which was later reduced to 54 million. WTF. The guy based his case on a sign inside the store that said "satisfaction guaranteed". He argued that because he wasn't satisfied that this is a case of fraud and sued for damages. He even threw in some $10,0000 or more for future rental car costs because he will now have to go to a dry cleaner farther away. WTF again.
And according to some of the news reports he even rejected settlement proposals from the dry cleaners ranging from $3,000 to $12,000. How dumb do you have to be?
Anyway, the judge in this case denied him the millions claiming that this was unreasonable. Really? I don't think this required a trial to find this out. Nobody got hurt (at least physically) and if a loss of a pair of pants is mentally a desaster for someone then that person should seek some other help than money. Anyway, finally common sense won over one of these dumb lawsuits. And the guys who sued is a judge which makes it even more ridiculous. Just do a Google search on "washington pants lawsuit" to read all about it.
