Dumb Lawsuits

Here’s the situation: You’re looking forward to the first night you’ve had since you and your hubby became parents who get less sleep than a Starbucks taste tester. You’ve hired a babysitter to watch the kids, you’ve got reservations at a fancy restaurant and you’ve got front row seats to the Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger gets a sore throat, cancels his show and ruins your evening. What do you do?

NEW YORK, NY (New York Daily News) - Rosalie Druyan wants to stick the Rolling Stones between a rock and a hard place with a $51 million lawsuit.
Shattered when Mick Jagger’s sore throat scrapped the Rolling Stones concert Friday in Atlantic City - four hours before its scheduled start - the Stones superfan from Brooklyn is taking the wrinkly rockers to court.

In a class-action suit to be filed today in Manhattan Supreme Court, Druyan contends the late cancelation cost her and other fans big bucks on nonrefundable hotel reservations, forcing them to spend the night together in cold and rainy Atlantic City.

$51 million? Did they hire Haliburton to babysit their kids?

The couple claims they not only had to skip the show, but also lose reservations at an expensive Atlantic city hotel and waste travel expenses. They also had to voluntarily travel to New Jersey, which the law has identified as the definition of “pain and suffering.”
