You’re Suing In It

March 2nd, 2006 · 18 Comments

Now it seems that bathing too much won’t just get you prune hands and a candidate for obsessive compulsive disorder, but it can also land you a hefty lawsuit.

DENVER (Denver Post) — Many people find the sound of running water soothing and peaceful.

Not Marvin and Goldie Smith, who have sued their neighbor over her 5 a.m. baths.

The couple, 83 and 78 respectively, live on the eighth floor of the Polo Club Condominiums near the Cherry Creek Shopping Center. They claim the water pipes they share with the woman below them vibrate so badly they can’t sleep through her early morning baths.

The bather - Shannon Peterson, a special education teacher in the Arvada public schools - can’t believe she’s being sued for bathing before leaving for work.

See? This is what happens when you old people “rights.” Wrinkled skin leads to wrinkled truths.

The couple are complaining that because Peterson is taking a 5 a.m. bath everyday to educate the special needs children of her community, they are not able to get the sleep they so preciously need every morning. What kind of lousy old people is this couple? They’re still in bed at 5 a.m. If we find out that they don’t have “Murder, She Wrote” on Laserdisc, they should have their elderly licenses revoked.

So instead of handling the situation like calm, normal, friendly neighbors, they sued her. Not only that but they got their attorney son, Sheldon, to sue her. They also tried to fix him up on a date with her.

    Are we sure they didn’t try to get their son a date, and sue after the
    intelligent and dedicated teacher decided their son was as big a looser
    as they seem to be.

    Why don’t they take naps like normal old people?

    And why doesn’t their son get an honest job?

    Then maybe he could get his own dates.

    Unfortunately for that even even if she a bath when she got they’d be sleeping

    This elderly couple absolutely needs to learn tolerance!!
    Maybe their son can’t find a date because he is as
    intolerant & self centered as his parents?
    Having said that however, please don’t blame ALL old
    people, for this one couple’s mean spirits.
    My father is 81 and is up and working himself every day
    by 5 AM. Age alone is not the problem, this couple have
    probably always been this way. It didn’t suddenly happen
    just because they got old. Blame this one couple, not
    their entire generation. “Nap like most old people”,
    hey babe you’re hanging out with the wrong “old” people.!
    Just a little food for thought!

    I am sorry to say it but they are typical old people in
    my experience. They all believe that society owes them something for being
    something for being old. Well sorry the sooner old
    people like this die the better off the world will be!!

    If they feel that they HAVE to sue someone (which in this case is really stupid)
    why not sue the landlord, he’s the one who owns the crap plumbing), and in reality
    if it’s so annoying why dont the old people let their children find them a nice retirement hom on 20/20?

    This is so stupid. First of all if they were having promblems with the sounds of the
    pipes they should of said something to the landlord about it, it is not her promblem that
    the pipes squeak and rattled. She pays rent there and if she wants to take a shower
    ever 30 minutes she should be able to. The judge should tell them old dumbass people that
    they need to talk to their landlord and leave the school teacher alone.

    Good for the elderly couple. Disrespectful, loud
    neighbors should be shot. Go ahead, disrupt my sleep,
    I dare you.

  • 15 Натяжные потолки из Франции // Dec 19, 2007 at 12:24 am

    10 часто задаваемых вопросов про натяжные потолки люберцы:
    1. Чем отличаются шовные потолки от бесшовных?
    Шовные натяжные потолки изготавливаются из пленки ПВХ путем сварки полотен на аппарате ТВЧ. Максимальная ширина полотна составляет 2 метра , поэтому при ширине стены более 2 метров на полотне имеется шов. Выдерживают до 100 литров воды на 1 кв. метр. Имеется около 100 цветов и оттенков. Бесшовные изготавливаются из ткани с полиуретановой пропиткой, максимальная ширина полотна составляет 5,1 метра. Ограниченное количество цветов, но очень хорошо подходят для нанесения на них фотопечати. Рекомендованы людям с заболеваниями дыхательных путей, аллергикам и т.д.

    Во-первых, натяжные потолки превосходно скрывают все неровности и изгибы, трещины потолка, закрывают проблемы осыпающейся штукатурки. Это замечательное свойство натяжных потолков весьма важно для жителей современных панельных многоэтажек. Однако и в дорогих “элитных” квартирах подобные “потолочные” проблемы встречаются достаточно часто.

    Она снежки солила
    в березовой кадушке

    как шагнешь за
    порог
    всюду иней
    а из окон парок
    синий-синий

    деревьям шубы шила
    торила санный путь
    а после в лес
    спешила
    чтоб в избушке
    отдохнуть

    Потолок ледяной
    дверь скрипучая
    за шершавой стеной
    тьма колючая
    как шагнешь за
    порог
    всюду иней
    а из окон парок
    синий-синий!

    Unlike Viagra, http://www.carroll.edu/boards/member.php?u=10591 - Generic Cialis is good for up to 36 hours after it’s taken - adding spontanaeity.

    Is this a good thing? What do you think?
