I can't believe I did this...

[Argus]

I'll give you even money...assuming our suspicions that her "lawyer" is not for real.

I wonder whether there will be more impressively bogus phone calls in the future, such as the "DA" calling Tolly to say that something has been cancelled, or "Tolly" calling the DA to drop the charges.

[lineswine]

I'm of the opinion that she's "Batshit Crazy", but this time she's gone & hurt you...& that should cost her, bigtime.
Go get her, Tolly!

[cindybubbles]

She should be committed.

I also wonder if she's had people assume that she's an employee of a store where she shops, too. If not, she should, just to know how you felt.

[taxguykarl]

How much would you like to bet she sues the store for one of its employees attacking her?

I'll give you even money...assuming our suspicions that her "lawyer" is not for real.

Seriously, a "lawyer" calling at that hour is fishy enough, let alone, offering no settlement at all....just Tolly's good will and sense of forgiveness, best I can tell. I'm not sure it's even legal to call at that hour. I know that debt collectors and telemarketers aren't allowed to call after 9:00PM.

Query: Is the caller ID record still intact? Was the call itself recorded? Or are you in a two-party state? You might also have her friend for practicing law without a license.

I'm taking Panadol and about to strap it up for 48 hours of rest. Wheeeee.

Send her the bill.

Keep us posted, this will get interesting.

I think this thread is worthy for this gif.

HAY THAT'S MY JOB TO POST THAT GIF :P

Seriously, though, this is going to be fun to watch, trying to see Crazy Lady yell and shout her way out of this, when you have everything in YOUR favor.

Keep us updated, Tolly!

I have been doing NaNo for years, and have yet to even come close to finishing.

^-.-^

My muse has usually been silent by the time NaNo comes around, but this year it's been active since August and doesn't show signs of stopping much so I might be able to make it.

(Since August I've pumped out 6 15k to 25k stories, though they're really just continuations of eachother. The 7th is currently at 15k and 2 sections left to go).

As for the OP, gratz on putting that crazy in her place; hope your wrist gets better soon and hope you can get everything you can from the crazy.

I was wondering if you could get the video from your previous incidents with this woman (the fact that, technically, she's manhandled you before), and the manager involved saying that this woman has basically targeted you after being told twice you are NOT an employee.

A call at 10 at night from a 'lawyer'....fishy. I've personally seen a lawyer do worse that; left the law firm that's representing people in a huge case to become partner in another one. He then sent letters (on his old law firms' letterhead) to all the people being represented by his old law firm, telling them HE was their lawyer, he'd moved to a new office, and to sign this form so he could 'continue' to represent them. 3-pages in is when he disclosed he was actually with a new firm, but so many people were used to getting mail from the law firm he used to work for that they signed without blinking, effectively firing their law firm who had put 4+ years of work into their case! I was one who got a letter, but his old law firm had already called me to put out the alert on this guy, not to mention HE had never talked to any of the clients in all that time, and I just tore up the paperwork; though I wanted to send it back with a big 'F*ck You' in the signature line

Glad your wrist hasn't received worse damage. Is there a court date set and will the manager be a witness?

I've had people almost mistake me for an employee but it never got very far. So it really baffles me when seeing these stories where it goes further and they get so offended or even violent.

I'm curious, when the cops arrived to cuff her, did she scream that she would sue?

[PepperElf]

O boy. What a cunt. I hope your wrist heals quickly.


Indeed I'd like to hear the updates on this.


I too suspect the lawyer has already called the store... cos it sounds like the crazy bitch still insists you're an employee. However I also suspect the lawyer knows his client doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of coming out of this without a conviction & possible sentence.

[ShinyGreenApple]

Thanks for keeping us updated. Dear deities, this is crazy! I hope you don't have any permanent damage from this nutjob and that she is charged with everything possible.

Funny thing about having a lawyer for a father, I learned at a very young age to tell when the lawyer is either not a lawyer or fishing for a quite fee. Not entirely sure which one this prat was, but he definitely wasn't on the up and up.

Best thing about all this? I have lots of medical records thanks to my current situation, and the bung wrist was on my record plus there's the whole 'wearing a hot pink bandage you could see from the moon ON CAMERA' thing too. >:3

Good points. Video evidence, eyewitness evidence, medical records...he knows they haven't got a snowball's chance in Hell of getting out of this one unscathed. He was probably her husband posing as a lawyer to try to intimidate you. Too bad for him that you're too savvy to fall for that.

[rapana1]

Whew! That sucks! Do you think anyone will ever be able to convince her you don't work there?

You guys will not believe this.

Her lawyer called me. At ten at night. To ask if I'm willing to drop the charges.

Did he even tell you why you should be willing to drop the charges?!

Not that it makes any difference, no way in Hell should you drop the charges. This woman is a menace to society and needs to be put away, and you deserve to be recompensated for her assault on you. Nail their worthless hides to the wall!

[Draco]

Or simply one of those cheap lawyers that in truth know nothing. Because who else would be willing to take crazy-woman's case?
