Quoth mjr View PostWhat do you mean you don't have this product I want (that you don't even carry)?? I'm calling my Lawyer, and he'll SUE you and MAKE you carry it AND give me a FREE one!
I have vague memories of someone suing because her preferred brand of coffee was discontinued or something like that.
here it is
Seems that Starbucks stopped producing coffee capsules for a particular brand of coffee maker and she sued because she'd bought the machine specifically to make Starbucks coffee.
They settled for $250
I wonder who's going to be responsible for the $175k the lawyer is seeking as his fee.

Quoth earl colby pottinger View PostI had no problems parking my ten-speed bike outside your bar.
People just don't think about the options available to them.
Parking is also usually pretty cake with bikes.
Quoth Tama View PostWow, with all that going on I bet the drunks are built like track stars in Key West.

As to "I'll sue" even if in the wrong - they may win out anyway. It happened to us.
My wife's first husband scammed us, long story, but we had an iron-clad case against him. First, though, we went to mediation. And our lawyer talked to his, they agreed that we would win in court - but it would cost us a bundle to do so, it would be less to give him $2,500.00 and call it even. Yeah, even though we were in the right, and a judge would have agreed with us, he still ended up with 2500 of our dollars in his pocket. (It was a situation where legal fees wouldn't have been part of the settlement.)

Quoth notalwaysright View PostThinking back on the places I've lived, none of them have had official visitor parking. The best tenants got was one assigned spot. Yes, you still only got one, even if you had a roommate and both had cars. In that case, you had to fight to get a spot in the unmarked areas of the lot. It's also common around here to have to pay extra per month for an assigned parking space or even a covered space.
Plus, the covered spaces are all on the perimeter of the lot. Which means they're a lot farther away from most of the apartments than the regular "free" spaces. And I have to say that I do like being able to look out my bedroom window and see my car.It's floating wicker propelled by fire!

It sucks that the settlement for "making her machine unusable" was more than she had spent on the machine.Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

Quoth wolfie View PostWas her machine a Keurig that used first-generation (i.e. patent expired) pods? Does Starbucks still offer that variety of coffee in bulk (if they carry it at all, even for internal use, they should be able to sell it in bulk)? If both are "yes", an appropriate settlement would have been a set (they're usually sold in 3-packs) of the wire mesh re-usable pods that she can use with bulk coffee. If the coffee's still available, but her machine isn't one for which re-usable pods are available, then such a machine and a pack of re-usable pods (still less than $250) would be appropriate.

Quoth mjr View PostBut BEFORE that, I was parked in MY assigned spot, and someone who lives in the apartment that my spot was in front of, left a note on MY vehicle telling me I was in THEIR spot. You know...because it was in front of THEIR apartment. Regardless of the fact I'd already been parking there for a couple of months anyway, and PAYING for that spot.
Cops would come, tell the goofballs that they didn't own the street, there was no "assigned" parking, and as long as the car wasn't blocking the driveway or on the grass, they weren't going to do anything. Naturally, if my parents' driveway was full and I couldn't park in front of their house...guess where my car resided?Aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines. --Enzo Ferrari

I love stories about people pulling the lawyer card. Seems to be an empty threat more often than not. Arga, has anybody actually sicced a lawyer on your company before?
My family has a fun lawyer story. Grandma's Brother (GB) decided to sue Grandma because he wanted more of the inheritance they had split 50/50 from their mother. He tried to cover up the purchases he'd made with his share, then came up with some claim that Grandma was cheating him, taking more than her fair share, hiding money, and so on. Lawyer hired, suit filed, the works.
GB seemed to have forgotten that Grandpa had been in charge of Great-Grandma's finances for the last few years of her life and that, because of his work experience, he kept meticulous records of everything. (Seriously. Grandpa's home inventory documents included sheets of graph paper with to-scale maps of every room in his house and each piece of furniture in them.)
Long story short: GB's lawyer saw Grandpa's notes and documentation. She did some further investigation, called GB out on his shenanigans, dropped his case, and filed charges against him.I suspect that... inside every adult (sometimes not very far inside) is a bratty kid who wants everything his own way.
