wtf

Honestly though, who goes around to people's houses at 10:30pm?

If someone was knocking on my door that late and wasn't saying who they were, then ran away, I'd be suspicious as hell too. I probably wouldn't even answer the door.

So I can understand why the lady was scared. It WAS poor judgement on the girls' part even though they had good intentions.

I'm confused as to why she sued to get medical expenses after the families offered to pay the medical expenses...

And I bet she lives in a neighborhood with little to absolutely no crime-rate. We need this lady's phone number so we can call her with mysterious death threats.

Probably because they wanted her to open the door and be surprised by a bag of cookies.

 

:roll: It isn't that simple of a case. You couldn't say that all "good deeds" or intentions in all circumstances is always right. The woman has every right to request reimbursement for the medical bill. The part where I think she was wrong was to demand punitive damages. When the teenage girls offered to pay the bill, she should have taken it and left it at that--instead of suing.

very questionable. you ever walk up on somebody and startled them because they were too into what they were doing to notice you? guess that person can sue you too.

I totally understand the woman's panic response. It was unreasonable of the girls to go that late in the night just to show goodwill--with cookies--to the neighbors. I'm sure they intended it as surprises, but 10:30 PM is a bit too late to go to a stranger's ... well, neighbor's. If she's single, especially, it's easy to see how she could have been frightened when the girls didn't respond and their images were shadowy. Maybe they should have done like many other sound neighbors: Either take it at daytime or leave it out with their names if they were so bent on surprising their neighbors ... similar to what people do for Halloween. In my opinion, yes it was a good deed intended, but they ended up instead costing their neighbor. It's similar to someone in the process of doing good acting negligent. The best resolution would have been for the neighbor to request payment of the medical expense but express gratitude for their gestures.

Bottom line is, their actions incurred [unnecessary] bill upon the lady, so she should be able to recover that expense (just not more than that). Not everyone is wealthy to write off medical bills. Hopefully both the woman and the girls have learned their lessons.

Are you a dumbass, or are you unaware that you just completely contradicted yourself?

I won't post the phone numbers just because I don't want them getting pranked. But if anyone wants to call them... well I guess you can PM me.[/quote]

From the article:
Young said the teenagers showed "very poor judgment".


In hindsight, the teenagers showed a very poor judgment of choosing Cruella's house.

If she was so vindictive to teach a lesson (ie to punish) the girls, I wonder if she would learn a lesson not to panic and blow a little thing out of proportion.

 

[DainBramaged]

We should find her address and give her a little "surprise."

Either you don't understand the difference between compensatory damages and punitive damages, or you do not know what contradiction means. According to the article, [it appears] the woman sought both compensatory (e.g. medical bills) and punitive damages (e.g. exemplary). The judge, however, awarded her just the compensatory damages (medical expense), which the teenage girls had already offered to pay. I am saying she had every reason to seek compensatory damages--which the girls were willing to pay anyway, but I disagreed with punitive damages. The girls' good intent comes to play in the punitive damages but has absolutely no bearing in the compensatory damages. And in my opinion, they were being unreasonable going to a stranger's ... neighbor's that late (i.e., 10:30 PM) in the night--not identifying themselves, and mind you--not ringing the bell (if any) but banging on her door. (Eating anything edible from your neighbor is a whole other subject.)
