Some people are just a**holes.

From DenverPost.com:

Durango - Two teenage girls decided one summer's evening to skip a dance where there might be cursing and drinking to stay home and bake cookies for their neighbors.
Big mistake.
They were sued, successfully, for an unauthorized cookie drop on one porch.

The July 31 deliveries consisted of half a dozen chocolate-chip and sugar cookies accompanied by big hearts cut out of red or pink construction paper with the message: "Have a great night."

Inside one of the nine scattered rural homes south of Durango that got cookies that night, a 49-year-old woman became so terrified by the knocks on her door around 10:30 p.m. that she called the sheriff's department. Deputies determined that no crime had been committed.

But Wanita Renea Young ended up in the hospital emergency room the next day after suffering a severe anxiety attack she thought might be a heart attack.


There's more, but I'll make a long story short.

The woman sued, AND WON in small claims court.

Here's a bit more:

The girls wrote letters of apology to Young. Taylor's letter, written a few days after the episode, said in part: "I didn't realize this would cause trouble for you. ... I just wanted you to know that someone cared about you and your family."
The families had offered to pay Young's medical bills if she would agree to indemnify the families against future claims.

Young wouldn't sign the agreement. She said the families' apologies rang false and weren't delivered in person. The matter went to court.

Young said she believes that the girls should not have been running from door to door late at night.
"Something bad could have happened to them," she said.

Something bad DID happen to them. They got shafted by a stupid, cowardly sea hag( I wanted to say cow, but that would have been an insult to cows, who are useful and provide us with milk, and other tasty things) and a moronic bleeding heart liberal judge who didn't have the balls to laugh her stupid ass right out of his courtroom.

For the record, if plates of cookies show up at Stately Partsguy Manor(tm) you know what happens?

The usual response is: " BOO-YA!! COOKIES!!! " followed by a mad rush to the fridge to get milk.

THAT is the proper response.

Further reading finds that the father of one of the girls has had to file for a restraining order against the sea hag's husband. It seems sea hag's hubby keeps calling them and bothering them.

Some people should be thrown in front of speeding dump trucks.
