The world is in such a crazy state nowadays that nothing surprises me anymore. As I am reading the New York Daily News, as I do daily, I come across this article, Mom sues Century 21 for 80 cents, argues department store ripped her off.
I've said this many times before, this society is sue happy for NO REASON at all most times as frivolous lawsuits just clog up the courts and prevents people who have real issues to get a satisfying and prompt court date because of suits like this. I remember several years ago, while I was living in Harlem, while in my car, I was hit by another vehicle and my car was damaged. I was a little shook up, but no injuries that warranted medical attention. My car was towed to a garage and one of the mechanics approached me and told me that they had a doctor who I can go see. I'm looking at him and saying, nah, I have my own doctor. He goes on to tell me that this particular doctor can write up a report that basically says that I was injured and would need constant medical attention and that I can use this information to take to a lawyer that they also had ties to, in order to get a monetary judgment, heavily in my favor. Now, I can't front, for like, 6 seconds I thought about it but my moral compass completely took over and I told homeboy no and he even looked mad that I declined.
It just seems that every thing is a hustle. People are always trying to get people and it hurts the ones who really need that type of assistance. I'm sure there are a few of you reading this who would jump at an opportunity to get 'free' money, but is it really free? There is always something tied to it that isn't justified, someone getting the short end of the stick.
I don't think there is nothing wrong with bringing a lawsuit if you've felted cheated, but 80 cents? It costs more to file the paperwork..... I'm just sayin'
