MOMMY DEAREST OR NOT?
Barrington Hills, Illinois residents, Steven A. Miner (23) and Kathryn Miner (20) sued their mommy dearest for $50,000, plus unspecified punitive damages! But, why? The brother and sister duo claim that their mother did such acts as change her last name after the divorce from their father, causing them negative attention at school events, told Steven to buckle up or he’d be taken to the police station and often sent birthday cards with no gifts enclosed. Kimberly A. Garrity, the mother of the young adults, is also said to have refused to buy Kathryn a homecoming dress as well as asking that the car Kathryn borrowed to go to homecoming be returned by midnight. Wow, that is mean! Kimberly was also accused of favoring one child over another and was late in sending care packages to her ever grateful son while he was away at college. The judge threw out the case!

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL, THOUGH YOU MIGHT BE REWARDED!
A bizarre case involving a Los Angeles, California man has the neighborhood scratching their collective heads. Carl Truman (19), sued his neighbor for running over his hand with a Honda Accord. The driver of the Accord did not see Carl, who was under the Honda Accord attempting to steal his neighbor’s hubcaps. The court awarded the thieving neighbor $74,000, plus medical expenses! Perhaps the shamefully treated neighbor could have benefited from holding some Public Liability Insurance.

IT PAYS TO HAVE BABIES
Furniture store owners in Austin, Texas still have their mouths open after hearing the verdict in the case of the super annoying woman who was on a furniture shopping mission that netted her a pretty penny. Perhaps Kathleen Robertson had her eye on that perfect occasional table or lamp in the furniture store window or maybe she was answering a text on her phone, when suddenly she was tripped by a toddler who was running into the store! Kathleen then fell and broke her ankle. The jury awarded her $80,000 which everyone hopes she will share with her toddler, the one who tripped her at the furniture store!

CRUISE CONTROL, NOT AUTO PILOT!
In the spirit of the now famous McDonald’s Lap Coffee Suit and Payoff, comes Mrs.MervGrazinski’s Runaway Winnebago Motor Home Suit. It seems that Mrs.Grazinski had purchased a brand new Winnebago and was maybe reflecting on her recent tailgating party at the big Oklahoma University game, when she lost her mind! It is reported that Mrs.Grazinski punched on the cruise control setting of her brand new motor home and felt quite secure in leaving it to do all the driving. She was apparently in the Winnebago’s kitchen compartment making a sandwich for herself, when the motor home left the freeway and was completely wrecked! Mrs.Grazinski decided to sue Winnebago for an incomplete owner’s manual, as it did not have an idiot clause, which would have warned her not to leave the driver’s seat while the motor home was in motion. She was consequently awarded a new Winnebago and a cool $1,750,000 for her trouble.

THIS TAKES THE CAKE OR THE COKE IN THIS CASE
A ridiculous Lancaster, Pennsylvania woman, Amber Carson, has sued a Philadelphia restaurant and won! Amber had apparently slipped on some soda at the restaurant and had broken her tailbone, leaving her unable to shake her tailfeathers. A jury awarded her $113,500 to be paid by the restaurant owners, even though the puddle of drink had been thrown on the floor by Amber herself, in the heat of an argument a few seconds earlier!
