What approach should I take

Anyway, in a really weird coincidence, earlier today, I found a partially crushed apple in the bottom of my bucket of washers. Do you know what could have happened if I didn't notice it in time and actually used the crushed apple in place of a washer? My whole house could have collapsed. How many dollars, in millions, is a case like this worth? (My house has recently been appraised at $2.97. It's the nicest Frigidaire box under the bridge).

LOL, you have not lost your touch.

He's a lesbian in a man's body.

It was iron fortified apple juice. You were suppose to eat the washer.

Of course!

Being from Warshington state, you'd know about such things!

"It's because I'm a lesbian," was the idiotic exit line of a fired disctrict attorney on the TV show Law & Order. I think using it was OP's way of acknowledging the foolishness of her initial excitement at the idea she had hit it big in lawsuit lotto.

I thought so, also.

I do agree with one part of his/her post: his/her assumption that we LOL about some of the posters later.

Does that equate to eating the worm?

And no, that was not a lesbian joke.

Or was it?

Good God, this sounds like something that happened to me at my the store I work at yesterday.

A guy comes in with this 2 kids and goes to customer service, apparently he purchased a gallon jug of Egg Nog from our store the previous day. He stated halfway through drinking they notice a small plastic piece floating in the jug. He said he dumped the rest of the Egg Nog out, altho everyone thinks he just drank the rest and says he wants to be compensated for a replacement of the Egg Nog, and compensation for Gas because he had to drive back to the store!

The poor elderly lady that runs our CS desk, poor her, told the man that he could get a replacement Jug but that we can't compensate his Gas. And that the plastic piece wasn't our store's doing and most likely the company, even tho I think the it may have just been from the plastic thing you tear off to pop it open. He starts flipping out and cussing so the CS calls me to the front and I try to deal with it. Telling him the same dang story, he gets louder I said instead of the Jug we can compensate you with a $10 gift card (we just wanted him to leave). He said he will take a Jug & the gift card and we will replace his gas.

I said no way. He walks out, we were hoping he was leaving and a couple minutes later comes back and tells us he's contacted the police. I said that was fine. Not long after the cop shows up, this guy is telling him what's wrong the cop comes over to me and can barely talk because he can't stop laughing. The cop then tells him to go get a new Jug, and take the damn gift card and then to leave. Guy throws a fit but does go back and gets a Jug and some other items and tries to tell us we will pay for those items & give him a gift card. We tell him no, again he flips out and says he's just taking the Jug and the gift card but he's calling CNN and the FBI and we're going to be sorry.

What a nut! The cop escorted him out and ended up giving him a ticket for parking in the handicap parking space!! Karma...

Cnn never called us, nor did the FBI show up so I think we're safe. CS lady threatened to quit but she calmed down after I let her go home early and still get paid. I was just recently promoted, no one wanted the Job....now I see why.

I'd have let him go with the jug, the gift card, AND a trespass warning so he couldn't come back.

When I did my hitch as a store manager, I used to describe my job as being yelled at for 12 hours a day.... if it wasn't the customers, it was upper management.

Comes with the territory....
