TBT - Humor...Attorney Threatens To Sue About A Bowl Of Soup

By
Real Estate Agent with Lisa Von Domek Team TX License #0552989

Yes, seriously, an attorney threatened to sue a restaurant over a cup of soup.
The scenario:  local restaurant offers a free cup of soup with an entree, but
as noted on the menu "while supplies lasts".  The supply ran out and the
attorney threatens to sue and presented a demand letter of $2.25 for the
soup plus $250 in attorney fees for the letter he wrote himself.  You just
can't make this stuff up:

 

 

According to the Fox4 News report the attorney says he’s now being threatened himself after his demand letter blew up on the internet.

Maybe he will get hit by a bus the next time that he leaves the diner and hopefully no judge would rule in his favor.

Sadly this doesn't surprise me. We've become such a litigious society that there are lots of people out there just looking for any excuse to sue. I hope someone "accidently" spilled the soup du jour in his lap & bolted.

Morning Lisa.

Dumb A$$ attorney should have read the fine print.  Maybe he finished last in the class.

Lisa, these type things should never surprise us, but sad an attorney has to be demanding.

No - you can't make this stuff up - and this is why attorneys are held in the regard that they are.
