Crystalina replied: Oh good Lord! People are so "sue happy" these days. You think this (apparently important) man would have better things to do. And it's terribly sad that these people are thinking about shutting down a business they've owned for 7 years and leaving America. I wouldn't give him the satisfaction.

hopefulmomtobe replied: I mean...seriously ....read this part:

But Pearson was not satisfied and expanded his calculations beyond one pair of pants. Because Pearson no longer wanted to use his neighborhood dry cleaner, he asked in his lawsuit for $15,000 -- the cost of renting a car every weekend for 10 years to go to another business.

Give me a break! That lawyer that filed that suit should be disbared!

To put someone through such a thing is just wrong! The poor cleaners even offered to settle with him for $12,000 for ONE freaking pair of pants!!! Those poor people!

Calimama replied: I hope in the end it's decided that HE has to pay for the dry cleaning's lawyer and court fees.

I would love it if that happened. I'm guessing that MANY people will be upset at this judge and who knows, maybe more people will go there because of it.

Twelve Volt Man replied: And many lawyers wonder why they're so disliked by so many people.
