Just blights of humanity. As if there wasn't enough frivolous lawsuits from
obsessive lunatics.

And you would be, perhaps, one of the most lothesome human beings on the face
of the planet.
Why do people think companies are just there to drain of money? Mistakes
happen. Deal with it and move along. Taking some copy shop to court over a
mistake on a poster is beyond insane.
Just because you're right, doesn't mean you earn the right to be an a**hole.
