What were the details of the said ketchum staining? If it was in the middle of passionate love making, or maybe just an accidental I would let it pass. If she did that on purpose, I'd make her pay.
Huh, I would expect that from an accountant, but a lawyer...
What a worthless, cheap, piece of sh*t. I hate people like this.

i don't make as much money as that jackhole, and i would overlook the accident and pay my own cleaning bill on that. big fvcking deal.

So would I. However, she made the stain, therefore it is her responsibility to pay for the cleaning if he chooses not to be generous.
She has NO moral superiority here. Her passing around the E-mail exchange makes her as petty and cheap as him.[/quote]
at least you evened the playing field there: they are BOTH petty and cheap.
i agree.
she should have graciously offered to pay and he should have declined.

Exactly.
nobody is doubting whether the guy has the right to ask for payment or not, because he does but that doesn't mean that he should. It just makes him look like a cheapo and stingy. $7-8 is nothing compared to having a good relation with someone who you probably work with everyday.
This doesn't look very good for their company as well, imagine potential clients thinking well if this guy is going to get all freaky about this, what else is he going to pull?

She doesn't give a fvck about moral superiority, she just buried her mother and comes back to that retarded email.
perhaps petty, but i think he deserved to be called out for being such a stingy prick. if he wasn't ashamed at being such, then what's the problem with forwarding this email to people who would find it funny?
Come to think about it, I came to a conclussion she's more at fault here than him. In fact, if I were her boss I'd go ahead and fire her. The reason being - while both are being petty and cheap, what she did puts the company in a bad light. She forwarded an internal memo to an outside person, which is against the rules 99% of the time.
He's cheap. She's stupid.
He's cheap. She's stupid.
Why is the lawyer a prick? If anything, she's a bitch for making the whole situation public.
It's not about the money, it's the principles. He could have been a nice guy and forgotten about it, buy maybe under the circumstances he felt that she should pay. If he was a secretary like her and this happened, nobody would be saying anything. Why should he be punished for being successful? He wasn't a jerk about it or anything. He wrote a polite email asking her to pay. How was he supposed to know her mother died.
If the email had read:
Because she accidentally hit his car in the parking lot, instead of accidentally ruining his pants, how many of you would still be siding with the secretary? What's the fundamental differeence between £4 and £400?

Same thing. That's how crap like this gets started. It is bad form to send out private E-mail like that.
And her anger over his retardation justifies her retardation? Since when do two wrongs make a right?
Didn't grade school teach you folks anything?

again, in this situation (higher $$) then yes, the public would probably agree with him. But for just $4? that's pathetic

You used these two to reinforce your objection to her behavior. One of these is hyperbole, the other is bullsh!t because the mother thing is why he is an asshole. In fact, she sent the email to people in her firm who probably knew her mother had died. Only an asshole would try to collect such a small debt when someone is dealing with a parental death. And only a moron would expect such an oblivious email to remain private.

Who said he's being punished? The majority of people would have shrugged off an incident like that, it could just as easily have been him spilling ketchup on himself or her. If he'd spilt it on her, would he be chasing her asking how much the dry cleaning cost?
I never said he did.
