      And I expect a menage a trois with Christina Ricci and Holly Hunter with plenty of baby oil.

        I shouldn't really be surprised, but I'm actually finding a lot of recipes for chocolate chip bacon cookies!

        I think we need to band together, find out where VRS works, come up with some money to rent a place, call and demand he come fix something, then throw him a surprise party.
        Sounds like a plan, Stan!

          That's actually a good idea. Schedule the party as close to the end of his shift as possible so we can make it a nice alcohol-laden event. Best of all, Dave can sleep it off in one of the spare bedrooms

              Seconded on that update wish... and here's to a manager with a spine laughing that SC off the phone.
              You gotta polish a memory like a stone. Chip off the parts that remind you it was just a game. Work it until it's indistinguishable from any other memory.

                Let's hope they DO get a lawyer. And for the low low price of $200 - $400 per hour, they can tell the SC that they stole a crib and should be glad the cops weren't called on them instead of just their credit card being charged.

                It's like renting a condo and then deciding you like the end table and taking it with you.

                    betting the customer tries to contact the credit card company to get the bill reversed
                    only that means dave's company gets contacted and they state what happened and... the charges stay put

                      I am guessing that most of the people that threaten legal action DO know this, but are hoping that their threat of it will make the other party weak in the knees and succumb to their argument. Which, sadly, all too often happens.
                      Which is just silly. ANYONE can have a lawyer after all

                      I have a friend who is a principal of an elementary school.

                      Whenever he confers with parents who pull out the "I'll call my lawyer" card he just replies in a very quiet and calm voice, "You know, we have lawyers too."

                      He says the reaction is always the same. Shocked silence followed by immeditate backpeddling. It's like they've pulled that card out so often to get what they want that it no longer even occurs to them that other people can and WILL hire lawyers too. Sort of like the idiots who try to rob a gun shop.

                        Back when I worked for the Chain of Verylarge Stores, one of the available bennies was Legal Services. They'd take $6.95 a week out of my paycheck, and I could see a lawyer any time I needed one. Didn't even have a copay.

                        (Only caveats were, I couldn't use the lawyer to sue the Chain, and it was for non-commercial use only. Saved me about eleven grand when I bought my house, but I had to pay $150 to have him do up the lease for my tenant, because that was considered commercial.)

                        So any time someone threatened me with legal action, like the doctor who sent my wife a bill for $693 for "stabilization of newborn" when he never even walked into the delivery room, I just told him, bring it on, Doc, I've got a free lawyer and I ain't afraid to use him. I'll tie you up in court so long that you'll burn on legal fees more than you stand to gain from extorting this money from me. Never heard from him again.

                        Of course this is at home. At work, the moment I hear the L word I cease all communication with the customer, except to give them the number for our legal department. If you're threatening to sue the Chain, I'm not talking to you any more, because I don't want to give you any more ammunition for your hypothetical suit. This tends to backfire on those SCs who think that by waving their lawyer at me (who may or may not exist outside the SC's fevered imagination) they can intimidate me into doing anything they want.

                          I would think that parents who can afford a vacation in the first place should be able to eat an unexpected 60 dollar expense. If not they shouldn't vacation someplace that will cost them money.

                            If I were you I would tell the property owner that the guest stole the crib from them, give them the guest's info and tell them to press charges. Then again I'm an evil bitch.
