Are we still saying no to drugs?.....

Are we still saying no to drugs?... or is it now a requirement that Judges snort a measure of cocaine on their way in to court, or the cleaners for that matter.

I was appalled this morning to hear of the Million Dollar Lawsuit that has been filed by Judge Pearson against Customer Cleaners for losing his pants.  My first question was damn.. were the pants platinum, did they have sentimental value?  I mean, I am the first one to get on a rant regarding poor customer service.  But, even I ... feel as though this is taking it to the far extreme.

So here are the details, as I read them, the Original Alteration Work that Pearson wanted to have done on the pants was $10.50.  He brought the pants in for Alterations because they were snug, and he wanted to wear them in for his first day or work.  The pants were a part of his Hickey Freeman Suit.  For reasearch purposes, I went to the Hickey Freeman site, and the most expensives suits there were $1500.00.  The Chungs who own Customer Cleaners have offered  Mr. Pearson, $3,000.00, $4,600, and finally $12,000 to settle the case.  All offers far exceeding what he spent to purchase his suit,which from the sounds of it, he probably got on sale.

Right now, Mr. Pearson has dropped the amount of his original suit by about 20 million dollars.  But, he feels as if he should be compensated for the 1400 hours he claimed he has spent on this case(to that I say BS!!), his pain and suffering(more BS), and get this $15,000 per year for 10 years so he can rent a car every weekend in order to FIND A NEW CLEANERS.(Are you friggin kidding me?)

I don't think that I can adequately display through words, just how pissed off I am at this blatant abuse of both power, and the time and effort of the Judicial System.  I am even more appalled that this man, in his flawed state of mind, is an administrative law judge for the District of Columbia.  I am not sure if it is a mere coincidence that he and Bush breath the same air on a daily basis.  But, in the world of Free Enterprise, where you do have the ability to shop around for acceptable service.  I dare say, get a life, hit the treadmill(hence the snug pants), and stop wasting tax payers money with your frivilous law suits.

As, I indicated before I believe in Customer Service, but in life mistakes do happen.  Some how I don't think Mr. Chung was sporting Pearson's Hickey Freeman Pants around town....
