Another frivolous lawsuit!

One of my neighbors called the cops when my friend and I were standing in my driveway making fun of the stop sign that they lobbied to have put in our front yard.
Most of my parents' neighbors suck. A bunch of pretentious holier-than-thou snobs. For a while, we were constantly having disputes with our neighbors. They hated the fact that I constantly worked on my Camaro in the driveway, and they hate the fact that it sits under a cover in the driveway now. Stuff like them putting in fences that didn't meet the neighborhood's architectural guidelines/approval, resulting in the erosion of all of the grass out of our backyard. When we approached them in a very civil neighbor-to-neigbhor manner, they verbally attacked us and refused to do anything about their fence. We could have easily brought litigation against them and been victorious, but instead, we built an attractive short retaining wall out of landscaping timbers to keep their runoff from eroding our yard. They respond by getting all pissed off at us and killing the grass on the side of our house with Roundup. Their kids hit baseballs into my Camaro, putting two nice dents in the rear quarter panel, one of which ended up cracking the paint and is now rusting. Lots of little things like that over the course of several years really wear on you.
The thing is, no matter how open you are to compromise and working things out, people in the South don't want to work things out. Everyone down here wants their own way and they get pissed if they don't get it. Whoever made up that crap about Southern Hospitality was full of it. There is no such thing.
After having lived next to people like this for 15 years, I'd just as soon live out by myself in the middle of nowhere.

Still, medicals were offered. What the hell else did she expect besides money? She wanted money. Plain and simple. Shows she was a greedy bitch is all. I'm pretty skeptical of all her medical problems too. I'm sure she got scared, got an elevated blood pressure, but nothing serious at all that would have required any medical attention.
This woman was just on TV. She claims that the medical payments that were offered never came and that is one reason she took these people to court. She also claims that the girls involved parked out of site, climbed fences, jumped ditches and "BANGED" several times on the back door of the house not coming to the front door and not responding when she asked who it was. This is what she claims, not my opinion.
That's funny, one of the articles that I have read about this (about 7 now?) she was quoted saying that they offered to pay her medical expenses and she told them that that was not enough, nor did she feel that their appology was sincear.
My opinion -- Bitter old lady that can't handle someone doing something nice and wanting to remain anonymous. Well, that's my opinion (so far) - I could be wrong.

Yeah, her TV story goes against what was reported in various written articles. I still think she got a bunch of negative press taht she didn't expect and now is concocting a slightly different story to make herself sound better. I mean, if she rejected the offer of medical payments, then that'd be a very simple explanation as to why they never came.
But yeah, cookies are threatening. My g/f gets frightened every time she spots a Mrs. Fields and mutters something about them attacking her somewhere (thighs, waist, changes all the time) before she runs off in another direction.
