I have been sued...
Lord Refa
Creepy, but in a good way
in Zocalo v2.0
Yup.
Why? How? By whom?
Well.. short story made longer.. Last month a group of 3 gypsies (oh the stories I could tell...) tried to steal a big goddamn christmas ham from where I work. They're happily rolling the shopping cart to the elevators with it being hidden under a jacket, and I ask if they got a receipt. But oh dear me.. Apparently, I had forgotten to cash it for them. It was my fault that they were trying to steal it and everything, it's not like they meant it or something.
So, I didnt really listen to any of that crap they were yapping, so just called the guards to take them away.
And yesterday I heard that they had sued me and the guard for "defamation of character"..?
Yup..
Well, the punchline of the joke is, that even the prosecutors office said they're not going anywhere with it, it's just filed and thrown away at the same time.
But.. I thought what the hell, I'll sue those gypsies for defamation of character and unlawful threats (they had said they're going to kill us, and that we are on their Death List now). Maybe I'll get a bit of ka-ching in turn from having my tax money wasted on that scum. ;)

Did you point your finger towards the exit and bark the order in a German accent? [i]Please[/i] say you did! :D
I've had the same threats whilst working on the Pharmacy counter at boots; mostly being that they'll sue me and the Pharmacist if they die or are made ill because they can't get what they've been prescribed or a myriad of other baseless reasons. Here's one exchange I still remember vividly:
[i]**Poached from the "UKAN Retail Rant"**[/i]
A month or so ago, I had a problem convincing a customer that paracetamol and codeine was co-codamol, at they couldn't get it into thier head that some drugs actually have more than one ingredient.
"No, I was told to get co-codamol, that's one medicine, not two! A drug is a drug!"
I tried to explain that most medicines are a mixture of drugs, and are sometimes given one name for convienience. For example, paracetamol and codeine as we both know, is often called co-codamol, however Boots brand CC is labelled as paracetamol and codeine.
Of course, she wasn't going to have any of it, despite the Pharmacist backing me up.
I then said;
"Ok, using your example in respect to air, air is actually one element, instead of a compound gas made out of a mixture of Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Carbon-Dioxide?"
She then replied;
"Don't try and be clever with me!"
However, my wry comment seemed to have worked, and she grudgingly accepted that paracetamol and codeine was co-codamol. (WHICH IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN.)
She bought it, and walked out mumbling threats of legal action if we were wrong and she died as a result. :rolleyes:
It's not uncommon for criminals to sue when they are caught "incorrectly" especially a somewhat organized group. They realize by bringing legal action, they cause the company from which they are trying to steal to be less aggressive in the future when attempting to prevent theft. Ask people who work in US department stores what they are supposed to do when they see a shoplifter, nothing! They are to contact security only, nothing else. Even then the store security can only do certain things without having the police there.

You going to do something about that Vorlon Dog avatar of yours? :p :D
They don't have any kind of a case against you, that's for sure. You might win yours, but not profit much from it. If you do win and get knifed, however, I suggest you leave a letter behind explaining that the "Gypsies probably did it." :D
[B]LOL @ Refa. :D

I know how I'll be killed.. and it wont be by some gypsy trash.
Nah.
There's one person I would let kill me at this time, but even he'd have hard time at it. :)
[B]If you have told me that low-lifes had *succeeded* in sueing a loyal citizen, man... I'd of gone crazy ;) [/B][/QUOTE]
If it had been in the US, they probably would have. :D
Ain't the first and definitely not the last time this kind of thing happens on this planet...
[B]somedays, I miss the good old days where undesirables were just taken out into the desert and shot. [/B][/QUOTE]
I hear that.
