Fucking old crusty white people get in my face

On the other hand, the expectation that you're not going to face a dog with a history of violence towards humans when you visit your lawyer does strike me as reasonable to some degree.

Really, how would they know the difference between that, and the lawyer?

So, when you're in, that door is wide open, and when you're out, it's closed in an obvious way?

Yes.

Also, my office doesn't have a sign.

If you see a closed door, do you assume that someone is not home, or do you assume that you need to ring the doorbell?

You should probably consider getting a sign.

A $50 shirt isn't really that cheap, either.  Also, curious if you send it with a letter indicating that acceptance of the funds was a waiver of rights, with language that they should consult your own attorney before depositing, etc (although I'm not sure that would be effective, I think it would be).  I do assume, of course, these people had not retained their own attorney by then.

You've chosen to run a business out of your home.  In practice, people are going to assume that you're always available for business purposes.

I assume he meant that there was no way the shirt was worth $50, but that's what he was giving him.

Scip, you know you're wrong.

[Slargos]

The dog could sense evil slargos. Sadly didn't finish the job.

Sadly you didn't die on your way across the border. 

[Razgovory]

Scip, you know you're wrong.

Well, it is in Mississippi.  A dog barking may carry legal power in that state.


We once had a complaint about the our dog attacking someone while the dog was tied up in the backyard.  We couldn't put that dog down fast enough.  I hated that dog.

Being born here makes that kinda difficult.

Fair enough.

Maybe he meant the Canadian border.

[Scipio]

Scip, you know you're wrong.

No, I'm not.  They had no business being on my property.  They were not my clients; it was after business hours.  They can fuck off and die in a fire.

Let me be clear: my dog is well trained.  He knows exactly how far he can go towards the sidewalk before the electric fence shocks him.  He stays well back of that.

Regardless, I apologized to the lady, and in the letter, I apologized to her and her husband again.  But when she starts chewing my ass in public about what a piss-poor attorney I am for her friend, which is none of her fucking business, she and her husband can go fuck off and die in a fire.

And since I'm firing the client, they can hire her a new attorney, too.  And fuck all three of them with a rusty spoon.

[Razgovory]

You are firing your client?

[Scipio]

You are firing your client?

Yeah, I'm not a doctor.

But hell, in Mississippi, doctors and public hospitals can refuse to treat patients in non-emergency situations.
