I've been subpeoned! [modified]

Apparently, people these days would rather take you to court than say they're sorry. About two months ago, I ordered a salad from a restaurant that I will keep nameless for now (just in case they're checking the lounge). I was BUSY that day and starved. Took two mouthfuls without looking and I looked at the third when it was about 2 inches away from my mouth. There sat this dead, 2 inch lettuce leaf green worm. X| I called them told them of it and they said, "thank you, your information has been noted". I couldn't speak to a manager because no manager was there blah blah. But they got me a replacement salad (as I could stomach the thought of eating there (or from there) again!) So what some of the guys here did was they took photographs of the culprit and either sent out emails or posted them on their sites or (face)books. Now I'm being sued for: 1. Slander (there is/was no worm) 2. Threatening employees (wtf?) I'll post the pictures of the worm up somewhere and repost here so you can see. Yeesh. PS. My lawyer says we're going to have these twits for lunch (minus the worms) -- modified at 7:45 Wednesday 10th October, 2007 here are the pics: Clicker[^] Clicker 2[^]

Any restaurant that wants to publicise that you claim to have found a worm, even to deny it, is run by morons.

You have no idea... My lawyer talked to their lawyer. He's a 25 year old. I mean, I understand whizz kids (hell, we're the industry for it!) but experience is essential. Also, my lawyer (he's an OLD family friend, he knew my dad back in high school) says he sounded like he knew absolutely nothing as to how to deal with other lawyers. They're either real idiots or they have something up their sleeve.

He'd be the one being subpoenaed in that case, along with my so called "superiors" ;P

I just had a simialer experiance. Two days ago I found a envelope in my mailbox with POLICE on it. My first thought was: 'Great another fine :sigh:' But after opening the envelope I found a letter stating that I had to come to the station for an interrogation, no mention about what. So yesterday I left work a bit earlier and went to the station, where they imidiatly informed me that I was a suspect in the theft of a laptop wich accored at my work. They figured since I was the last one to touch the laptop (3 weeks before the theft accored) I must have been the one who stole it (yeah like I really would want a laptop that can bearly run windows). They asked me up to 6 times if I was the on who stole the laptop(comon if it was no the first 4 times it's not going to change). Then the continuously asked if I knew who stole it (no, and I'm not going to you're job for you). By now I had this episode of the simpsons in my head where wiggams conducts a interrogation very likly to the one I was having (so had a bit of trouble staying serious). The finished by asking if they could search my home, shure but it's not my home it's that of my parents (in wich they replied: we can search you'r room with you'r permission (still have my doubts if that's true but hey I don't have anything to hide so go ahead)). They were at my place for about 2 min (my room is very small), ignored the 2 laptops that were sitting in plain sight (both from a different brand than the stolen one but they didn't know that), and left without saying a word. I'm really starting to hate cops. On a side note the laptop was stolen over 2 months ago, oo how fast the justice system is over here. I have to say, now I understand the people who refuse to have there home's searched, it's really not a pleasent experiance even if you'r inocent.
If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why. The only way we learn is by making mistaks.

fascinating. You must have an iron constitution. I'm not too picky or squeamish, but I believe that hell would have to literally freeze before I would be capable of such a feat. I can assume that a quid back then was worth its weight in gold to a child? :cool:

The question you should have been asking the restaraunt was not "Why was there a worm in my salad?" but "What in my salad killed the worm?" It was a lettuce leaf worm and there were lettuce leaves in the salad so it didn't starve to death. Something in the salad must have killed it. Poison perhaps? I suspect the corn. Don't trust anything that manages to stay whole after running through your digestive tract. :)

It probably suffocated (if the salad leaves were supplied to the restaurant in sealed bags)
