Welcome to America! Sounds like the guy who sued the laundry for something like $50 million because they lost his favorite pants...

It's no coincidence that it sounds like the dry cleaning lawsuit. The laptop lady picked the $54 million figure because it was the same as the number from the lost pants suit. She freely admits that she did it to get media attention, etc.

Obviously, she'll end up getting something, but not $54 million...

When I read the story and saw how poorly Best Buy treated her it did start to make a little more sense. She's certainly not after $54 million!

This woman was on the today show last week. Crazy story. That's America though...you can just about sue for anything.

I'm suing Eurocarfan for his M5. Why? Not too sure really... Hahahaha! JK ECF!

Being on Today' Show sends 2 messages. You can sue anybody for anything and any amount (your right), but you won't get it and it makes a fool (looney looking) of yourself. I'd be embarass to be on public view that way, but some people don't know what shame is because their parents read too many of those "how to" parenting books written by liberal idealist.

I'm filing a countersuit for defamation of character. By posting that comment, you've given the members of this board potential wrong impressions of me as a good citizen. I could use a house in Long Island.
