:laugh: They've got nothing but lies and frustration. In fact, the more I think about it, the only reason they even sued was because they figured I'd wimp out and sign an apology or a retraction or something. Boy have they misjudged me. :smiles like a cherub:

Well, I don't know what to say. I went to court today to attend the delayed court hearing. The original date was set on the 10th of January, but it turned out to be a religious holiday (Islamic New Year[^]) and so was postponed until today, the 12th of February, my birthday. So they've had a month atop of the original 3 weeks that they were assigned by the judge to collect and submit their evidence. Guess what? They asked for a postponement because they "did not have enough time". I laughed so hard when we walked out of the courtroom. To me, it means one of two things. Either they don't have evidence or whatever evidence there is is not in their favor. Pathetic. So the next court hearing date as set by the judge will be on next Wednesday the 20th of February. Seems like the judge is getting fed up. Now, all I want to hear from the lawyer is for what date the counter case has been set along with the name of the judge. Please, hope with me that through some serious twist in fate the counter case gets placed with the same judge.

Excuse me Mustafa, but are you saying that a court in Jordan actually scheduled a court date to fall on the Islamic New Year? Doesn't that sound a bit, well, should we say, idiotic? Anyhow, keep us up to date so that we'll have time to bake you a cake with a hacksaw blade inside.

The Hijri Calender is Lunar based, so you can't tell with precision when the new lunar month begins, you have to witness it (or at least, delegated scholars should), hence this happening. Also, the official calendar is the normal Gregorian calendar and most people [read 99.99%] don't know the exact date in the Hijri Calendar and they wait until they are informed by the government, so the court is not really at fault, at least in this regard.

Well yes, but they don't receive official memos informing them of this until the last minute. Business and life should (in theory at least continue as normal.

Thanks Dario :D Oh man, this started off in July 2007, so yeah you are missing something :D Quick summary, I ordered a salad from this "posh" restaurant while at work. There was a worm in it. After a few days they came, apologized, bought me flowers a bag of goodies and an open invitation for two as a way of saying sorry. I used to work in a company with about 100 devs. The pictures started flying all around the Middle East and their business has been damaged very badly (so they say). Other people started adopting the event (as in it happened to them). Next thing you know, they're suing me for slander and threatening them. After a few court sessions it is apparent that their "witnesses" were testifying more in my favor simply because they have no case. I started to counter sue. They ran out of witnesses and according to Jordanian law, they now have to submit their evidence in a proper manner. This was supposed to have happened last 10th of January but it got postponed till today (total amount of time for gathering and submitting evidence 1 month, 3 weeks and 2 days). Today they asked for a postponement and the judge gave them a final date of next Wednesday the 20th of February. After that, its my turn :D :hellishly evil laugh:

Wow! That is so nasty. I worked at pizza place once and this salad was returned with what looked like a pubic hair on top. I'm pretty sure the Mexican in the kitchen was disgruntled (rightfully so), he left a couple months later. However, I don't think the owners did anything other than comp the meal for the customer.

Totally, you haven't seen pictures of the worm either. It was a 2-inch lettuce green worm. It was lounging on the greens. Dead. Some thought it was sipping on lemonade. All in all, horrible.

BARF!!! :wtf: ?? So you're saying the kitchen worker did this on purpose because he already was disgruntled or he was disgruntled because he sent out a proper salad that was returned with what seemed like a pube and was thus very concerned that he's going to get into trouble?

The cook was a Mexican (probably illegal) without a lot of options. He busted his ass six days per week 12 hours per day for $600 US dollars (under the table, so no benefits). I think he was disgruntled.

The Hijri Calender is Lunar based, so you can't tell with precision when the new lunar month begins, you have to witness it (or at least, delegated scholars should), hence this happening. Also, the official calendar is the normal Gregorian calendar and most people [read 99.99%] don't know the exact date in the Hijri Calendar and they wait until they are informed by the government, so the court is not really at fault, at least in this regard.

forgive my lack of knowledge here... but what is it about the moon's period that is not predictable? I could tell you exactly to the minute when the shadow of the lunar horizon crosses what crater if I had latitude and longitude of the crater... and that I could probably look up. I don't understand what is so difficult about predicting the moon, it's orbit and the earth's orbit are rather predictable outside of a few adjustments a century for gravitational influence of the other planets, the orbit is rather easy.

well, the worm died... but I heard through the rumor mill they were attempting to get the worm's wife to testify. However upon further examination of the evidence and based on the changing story of the worm's wife... it may well be that she pushed him into the dressing. There is further evidence that she has been sleeping with a butterfly from the other side of the park. Very, Very fishy. It may well be that the worm discovered his wife's winging about town and sleeping around. It may well be a case of worm-murder, perhaps even 1st degree. But given that she has inherited the entire organization, they are afraid that she will fire everyone if things start looking bad for her. So they have had to change tactics here to cover up the real crime!! Turn in next week for the next exciting episode of ... as the worm turns!

Rip their heart out, grind their souls into misery, any restaurant that can't back their food and service deserves all they get. I have little (none) sympathy after a similar experience in Sydney a long time ago. I am glad to say my bitching was a small part of them going out of business. Lousy service, lousy food and arrogant management trading on a non existent reputation. All the luck in the world and I hope your counter case come quickly and hits VERY hard.
