Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the extremely uncooperative client whom I'm trying to defend in court sent me a letter in which he threatened to sue me, because charging him for my services supposedly violates his "constipational rights". FML
Today, I got a bill from my former attorney for the call he made to me begging me not to turn him in for stealing all my money and almost causing me lose my home. FML
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
Today, I got a call from the county’s courthouse where I used to live saying I was being sued for fraud and expected in court to defend myself. Apparently, my ex took a loan out in my name and now I get to pay $2300 worth of legal fees and restitution to this loan company. FML
Today, because my lawyer made a mistake in 2013, I have to pay a fine of over 500.000 euros. I don't have that kind of money. The lawyer is of course completely of the hook. FML
Today, a guy hit my car, and I threatened to sue him after he started the conversation rudely. He told me to go ahead, because he doesn’t have any money or a job anyway, then because from his perspective he had nothing else really to lose, he kicked my ass. FML
Today, my lawyer let me know that due to the rising costs of living, her rate has increased to $565 an hour. That's more 20 times my pay. I'm not even getting a cost of living increase. FML
Today, my ex-wife's lawyer threatened to default on the divorce because I have not signed the divorce papers yet. Divorce papers that I have not been served yet. FML
Today, some guy hit my car and then threatened to sue me for "parking my car in such a way that it was impossible not to hit it." My car was in the driveway. FML
Today, my ex-boss still owes me almost 900€. I just paid another 150€ to have a lawyer tell me that, yes, the law is clearly on my side but no, I will most likely not win in court because I don't have hard proof. I just paid money to be told I won't be getting the money I'm owed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Today, the pimple-faced sandwich artist at Subway threatened not to give me my food until I paid him seven dollars, which he asked for after preparing my sandwich for me. FML.

That's what I love about my home state of Colorado. If someone sues you, and the judge or jury rules in your favor, than the plaintiff is required to pay your legal fees. If it were me, I would counter sue for the legal fees of the first lawsuit and and the counter-suit. I hate people who are totally sue-happy. Most lawsuits are complete bullshit, in my opinion.

Put on your big boy pants and pay your bills. By saying you "got out" of a lawsuit, to me that implies you were at fault and this lawyer was able to find a way (probably a technicality) to win your case. Stop being a tool and expecting everything to be handed to you on a silver platter. The lawyer did what you *hired* them to do. What a whiny little boy. Who did you expect (there's that word again) was going to pay? Shut up and pay up!

Since you got sued for something in the first place, and you can sue people for everything in America: YDI

So sue the ones that put you in this shit from the beginning. If they put a wrongful lawsuit on you, they should pay your lawyer's bill.

Anyone got a sense of irony? The point isn't that he didn't expect to have to pay him.

Why in the world would he not expect to have to pay someone he hired?
