I can't believe the law suits that pop up all over the internet.
Here's the link to this story:
REFUSE IS REFUSED IN PALM BEACH
PALM BEACH, FLORIDA-A local man was told his garbage is “too malodorous” and trash collectors refuse to pick up his future garbage.
Wilbur D. Otis, 54 was incensed when the Palm Beach County garbage truck skipped his trash pick up for the second week in a row. Driver Manny Padilla claims that Otis’ three-pound dog, a Pomeranian named Skippy, had his excrement in the green bin and refused pickup due to “foul and disgusting odors.” Padilla claimed he could “smell the green bin from three houses away.”
Mr Otis is suing the City Of Palm Beach for garbage discrimination and emotional distress. Otis said, “Skippy’s poop doesn’t smell half as bad as Padilla.”
Padilla is countersuing Otis for slander. Padilla claims, “Because I’m Hispanic this wealthy man thinks he can make me and all of Mexico a derogatory stereotype.”
When informed of the lawsuit Otis claimed, “I wasn’t saying all Mexicans stink, just Padilla. Hell, the man drives a garbage truck, he's bound to smell!”
Lawyers for both sides have not returned emails or phone calls. After lengthy deliberations the City Of Palm Beach has requested Mister Padilla take a six month paid leave of absence. Padilla was heard saying “I won’t be bought off” as his lawyer hustled him out of the city offices.
