| | | box of bricks caused damage to a car
What is the name of your state? MI
I have a trash collection service pick up my trash from the curb on a weekly basis. One of the neighborhood "bad boys" thought it was funny to drive through my trash and leave a big mess for me to clean up.
Last night I placed a box with some bricks in it by the curb for pick up. Thinking it was an empty box, the neighborhood guy ran into it and did some minor damage to the bottom of his car. When he does this, he gives it the gas and whammo into the air goes my trash. This time it wasn't as funny. The bricks didn't go flying, but the front of his car did.
He's going to call the police and try and make a complaint against me for "criminal mischief". Aren't items placed on the curb for trash pick up no longer my responsibility?

My response:
Too funny!
You do know your story has the sound of familiarity, don't you?
Remember the story of the farmer setting up a trap in his house, and the robber opened the door to rob the farmer, and BLAMMO!!

IAAL | Can't say that I remember that farmer story. I do remember the story about the farmer who was "enjoying the companionship" of a sheep and when a neighbor complained to the farmer's kid, he responding by saying "don't worry about him, that's my Daaaaad"! |

My response:
Yes, that's funny, too!
I have to admit, I do enjoy a good trailer trash Dufus story, and yours fits the bill!
Thanks.

My response:
All you have to do is tell me that your story is true; that you actually did what you wrote. I'll be rolling in the aisles, laughing my guts out!!

IAAL | Yea, I put the bricks out. I thought about putting a toilet out there, but the bricks were in my garage and they were handy. I thought the little creep would have seen me hauling the stuff in the wheel barrow.
I was annoyed by the constant "lawn jobs and trash smashing". I think the kid is blowing smoke about calling the police. Best advice he'll get is "stay the hell off the lawn. |

My response:
Oh, my God, I'm laughing like crazy! Not only is your story terrifically funny, but you're also going to be held liable for his damages! That's Gotta be worth your weight in gold!
This is great stuff!
You see, that was the reason why I wrote the "farmer" anecdote. You set a trap, and for that, you're going to get slammed.
I copied your post for future reference/use.
Thanks.

IAAL | The only thing I'll give the neighborhood creep is a half full ziplock bag of farts. He is grinding on my last never here. He's damned lucky I have a sense of humor. Too bad he doesn't have common sense or a sense of humor equal to mine. |

My response:
I love your sense of humor, but this one's going to cost you! Let me know when the kid takes legal action. Good sense? That's what makes kids, kids. But, an adult laying a "trap" - - well, that one's going to cost you.
I can see "actual damages" and "punitive damages" coming his way.

Cissy, I really do not think anyone on this forum finds you funny. You and yourself find you funny.

In fact, you are so astonishingly correct in this matter, it will not surprise us one bit if you are offered a generous settlement, because, by golly, that’s just how it should be.

IAAL | Somehow, I don't think you are sincere when you say you love my sense of humor. I could share some stories with you that would put you on the floor with laughter, but I don't think you would appreciate my "humor". Anything wrong with indulging in occasional mishief, even as an adult? I'm harmless but I do like to have a good time! |

The rest of the forum thinks you are nuts
Carefull Iaal.

Carefull Iaal. | Well, darn it all to hell. I had some grand plan to "have my way with IAAL" and the forum spokesperson comes and blows that for me. Oh woe is me! I can only imagine the nasty dreams IAAL will have now that he has been alerted to the fact that he is in danger of "being had" by me. |

Take whatever precribed meds you have dear, and try real hard not to continue embarrassing yourself.
