When the neighborhood dry cleaner misplaced Roy Pearson’s pants, he took action. He complained. He demanded compensation. And then he sued. Man, did he sue.
Two years, thousands of pages of legal documents and many hundreds of hours of investigative work later, Pearson is seeking to make Custom Cleaners pay – would you believe more than the payroll of the entire Washington Nationals roster?
He says he deserves millions for the damages he suffered by not getting his pants back, for his litigation costs, for “mental suffering, inconvenience and discomfort,” for the value of the time he has spent on the lawsuit, for leasing a car every weekend for 10 years and for a replacement suit, according to court papers.
see the Seinfield episode where his dry cleaner and wife were wearing all the clothes? Maybe it happens alot more than you’d think. Stupid lawsuit all the same

For what?
Denying them their constitutional right to dig?
Man, some people need to get lives.
On a side note, it amazes me that this guy couldn’t even alter all of his pants at the same time b/c he was afraid he would exceed his Visa credit limit so instead of focusing his attention on getting more billable hours to pay down his balance he decides to devote God knows how many hours to harrassing a private enterprise.
