C is for Cookie, that’s not good enough for this biotch.

Big mistake.
They were sued, successfully, for an unauthorized cookie drop on one porch.
And who is the lawsuit-happy curmudgeon? Durango-area biotch Wanita Renea Young. Because these girls knocked on the door and left cookies, Young suffered an “anxiety attack” and wound up in the ER the next day claiming that she thought she was having a heart attack.
But Wanita Renea Young ended up in the hospital emergency room the next day after suffering a severe anxiety attack she thought might be a heart attack.
A Durango judge Thursday awarded Young almost $900 to recoup her medical bills. She received nothing for pain and suffering.
“The victory wasn’t sweet,” Young said Thursday afternoon. “I’m not gloating about it. I just hope the girls learned a lesson.”
Odds are, they learned two lessons. The first, a lesson we all eventually learn, is that no good deed goes unpunished. The second is that Young is a lawsuit-happy con-artist asshat of the highest order.
Taylor and Lindsey declined to comment Thursday, saying only that they didn’t want to say anything hurtful.
Young said the girls showed “very poor judgment.”
Well, the girls have more restraint than I do, so I’ll say it for them. Up yours, Wanita.
The families had offered to pay Young’s medical bills if she would agree to indemnify the families against future claims.
Young wouldn’t sign the agreement. She said the families’ apologies rang false and weren’t delivered in person. The matter went to court.
Wanita was probably not about to sign anything because she wanted to figure out how much she could take the families for. Odds are, this isn’t the first time she’s pulled a con like this. It reminds me of all the folks in Memphis who are quick to jump on a MATA bus immediately after it’s involved in an accident, so that they can sue the city.
Wanita Renea Young – undoubtedly our asshat of the week.

Yup. She’s a bitch. No 2 ways about it. Grade-A bitch.

holy shit, what a bitch!

Gentlemen, all due respect, but I believe the term is Super King Kameha-Meha Biotch.

I think even Super King Kameha-Meha Biotch is too gentle. She’s the kind of c&#+ that just needs to get her ass kicked–anonymously, of course, due to the obvious potential lawsuit.

Oh, and when you start semi-quoting Cookie Monster, it’s time to change the channel. Just sayin’.

Unless someone knowingly bakes you something to which you are allergic, or, say…puts laxatives in valentine cookies all except for the ones with the white conversation hearts (don’t laugh, a girl in my high school did it), then WHY, oh WHY should you EVER get in TROUBLE for being NICE?!

This has got to be the most IDIOTIC lawsuit in the history of a justice system FULL of idiotic lawsuits.
It sort of reminds me of that “individual” that placed a cup of McDonalds coffee between her legs, (while driving) spilled it, (which scalded her) and then filed a lawsuit alleging that this was somehow McDonalds fault.
The jury agreed, saying that the coffee was too hot. Idiots.

Yeah. It’s ridiculous. I’ve known one of those girls little brother since I was five. The other girl goes to my school. It’s dumb, utterly stupid. It’s been on the cover of our local paper for a week.
