Today, I had to explain to a potential client that I wouldn't represent him, because suing his neighbor for calling him a pansy would get us laughed out of court and likely get me disbarred. His response was to get violent and threaten to sue me for violating his civil rights. FML

You should sue him for getting violent and messing up your office. And then you should sue him for trying to force you to take a frivolous case. And then you should sue him for threatening you!

I'm willing to bet this guy is old. Old people just have a natural thing for complaining. We give them a nice retirement home and a phone call once a month, what could they complain about?

I can't help but think that if Hitler had targeted stupid people, rather than Jews, he would have been hailed a hero.

Oh !#*%, I actually laughed at a Hitler joke... I'm so going to hell. ...the latter really never depended on the former, though.

People sue for anything these days, and most of it over personal stupidity; like the person that sued McDonalds over spilling hot coffee on his/herself and the cups weren't marked as hot at the time... leaving a loophole of stupidity for that person to sue through lol

Not as open-and-shut as it sounds. Still kind of dumb, but at the time the coffee was also being kept at unnecessarily high temperatures so it could sit longer. The injury was made a lot worse by this choice on the company's part, which is where the lawsuit comes in. Still the customer's fault for spilling, but the business' decision played a role in making the outcome as bad as it was.
