Douchebag of the undetermined time period
In the last few months I have laid off the douchebag posts for several reasons. Partly because I wanted to be more faithful in humanity. Partly because I didn't want to become a target of crazy people. Mostly because it takes too long. However, this guy has brought the hate back out of me.
Roy Pearson is a judge from D.C. Two years ago, he took some stuff to the cleaners. A pair of pants were not returned to him so they were considered lost. He wanted the cleaners to pay him the $1000+ for the suit, which seems fair. However, before paying the cleaners found the suit. He still wanted to be paid. He said no. They offered $3,000, then $4,600, then $12,000. He refused and is now suing them for...wait for it... $65 million. Why? Pain and suffering, the cost of a rental car to drive him farther to a new cleaner and according to the article"the bulk of the $65 million comes from Pearson's strict interpretation of D.C.'s consumer protection law, which fines violators $1,500 per violation, per day. According to court papers, Pearson added up 12 violations over 1,200 days, and then multiplied that by three defendants."
Really?! Over pants?! How is this guy allowed to be a judge? He should be disbarred and humiliated in public. In fact, I think he should be ordered to spend an entire year not wearing pants no matter where he goes. Seems fair to me.
