KFC Hoax

brian,
was there a sign up standing on the floor, "caution wet floor, walk nicely or bust your ass?"

if i walk into walmart & i trip & fall down all over the place why would i find me a lawyer to file a lawsuit against walmart because i myself slipped or tripped over a rug or an ant or a teddybear w/ a giant erection?

please help me understand why it is anyone's fault but my own?

pumping gas i could very easily trip over the gas hose as they hang all over the pump draping over & onto the concrete...

There was indeed, but it was not in the area of the floor that was wet, the area I crossed to pick up my order. They claim it was marked. Not true- and I was not alone to verify this but a spouse is not allowed to provide evidence in this kind of case. The space I walked across was wide open and unmarked. But they will never admit this and all I asked for was medical costs and loss of time- not some ticket to easy street- that's not my style. If they had marked the area properly this never would have happened. They screwed up but will never admit it. Oh well- can't change that now.

I found it to reek of a hoax from the get-go myself. The way I read it (could be wrong here I did smoke a few too much back when) was that people complained to management about the girl disturbing them with that look, and therefore management kicking them out.

Maybe I give American society a tad bit too much credit to do the right thing, but for both of those things to happen in sync with each other just felt way too made up. I could see one or the other. Just not both.

Anyways, I hope she gets the care that she needs both medically and emotionally.

Thank badbrains and JasonP- yeah, I'm doing ok. The security camera records? They were "lost". Yeah- ah huh. :-(

I agree, jethrojam, I hope that kids gets some good help. Maybe that's what grandma wanted all along- who knows. Better to have sought help in an honest manner though. Tough break for the kid- hopefully she gets the help she really needs.

if i fall down at my neighbor's backyard i can actually have my lawyer file a lawsuit against them & their insurnce company, this is true, yes? because i had been on the road for a couple of weeks & was a tired truck driver. this conversation actually happened to me. no i didn't fall but i was exhausted & a bit wobbly on my feet. my neighbor's asked me not to fall on their property as they were scared i'd have a lawsuit filed upon their old asses.

thank you western washington residence. bizarre thinking to me is all i gotta say

how about we have a bottle rocket war & throw dirt clods at each other as we drink bottles of whiskey & throw darts at one another. sometimes folks are no fun

brianlux i am sorry you cracked your head. walk slower & be aware of your surroundings i guess i don't know. at the pool & in the shower area i walk slower than my normal caterpillar crawl as the floor's surfaces are slippery. if & when i crash & burn it is not gonna be pretty. then you can give me a hard time please

Thank you Chadwick. Gravity has been indifferent to me. Or at least inconsistent. Or maybe I with it. I once climbed and lead three people down from 10,000 feet down to the base at 6,000 feet on a steep mountain at night in the moonlight without anyone getting scratch. When I used to ski and toboggan I took several dramatic spills and always, like a cat, landed on my feet. But I couldn't walk across a floor without cracking my skull. Obviously there are time when I owe gravity more respect. I'm not so agile anymore.

I sincerely hope you do not crash and burn but were that to happen, I would light a candle for you. It's the only ritual I know.

chadwick

you & me both, brian. my body has fallen apart & probably 270% of this is my own fault. my bones are bad off & i zoom around at the high speeds of a caterpillar w/ his cane. if we did not have pain every moment of every day & night some of us would not make sense of feeling wonderful for once.

i will light your candle tonight just because

i am sorry if i came across harsh & whatnot. i am just fed up w/ the lawsuits in this country it is ridiculous. be well, good guy

brianlux

^^^ You're always good in my book, Chadwick. I think of you more as forthright than harsh. Sometimes brutal honesty is what's called for. A great day to you, sir!

I wonder if Grandma is the type of person that constantly complains about welfare.

Thirty Bills Unpaid

They turned down the cash from KFC. Pictured in the story is the little girl.

3 pitbulls owned by her grandfather attacked her. I don't care what anyone says, I'll never own one of these dogs and never will trust kids around them. The grandfather needs his balls kicked in. What a freaking idiot having his granddaughter around three dogs like the ones he had... as 'pets' no less. You want a pet? Then get one that hasn't been bred for fighting and has powerful jaws that can tear a person apart. If you need a pet to heighten your sense of manliness... well... then get a big tough one I guess.

I understand the its not the dog its the owner argument. Lion trainers and owners of exotic pets use the same argument (that if raised correctly... lions- and exotic pets like chimpanzees- are really affectionate and love humans). The problem with the argument that those providing it rarely acknowledge is as follows: when some stimulus has the animal source its instincts... the results are devastating given the power the animal possesses.
