Mother Sues Town After Child Steps In Dog Dropping
Conn. Woman Claims Entire Day Was Ruined When Her Toddler Stepped In Dog Feces
NORWALK, Conn. (AP) ― A New York woman has filed a $100 claim against Norwalk, Conn. saying a family outing to the Maritime Aquarium was ruined by dog feces.
The woman claims her child's shoes, along with the entire outing, were ruined when her 1-year-old stepped in dog feces outside the Maritime Garage.
City attorney M. Jeffry Spahr said the official response is that her claim is denied and, in his words, "poop happens."
Kelly DeBrocky of Mahopac, N.Y., wants the city to reimburse her for $54 she spent replacing her toddler's ruined shoes and the expenses for parking and aquarium admission on April 5.

I wonder if her brat has ever blown a diaper and gotten crap somewhere in her house where it's not supposed to be? Whom does she sue then?

The manufactuer of the diapers.

Oh, wait. It was Mason's poop. I was cleaning up the back yard. And if there's one great truism in the American legal system, it's that you shouldn't sue poor people, including yourself.

On a related note, the closest I have ever come to shooting an unsuspecting stranger with a paintball marker was due to the same issue.

I think there is a typo there. It looks like they added an extra "n" in the first word.
I think Mike Irwin got it right in saying has she ever heard of soap and water.

Gotta love the city attorney's response.

Honestly, Ben, I suspect there are a lot of people paying that much. I mean, you got have your kid wearing Sean John and Abercrombie, right?

$54 shoes?
The ones I am wearing now cost me $40, and half of that was shipping.

I'm surprised she only spent $54 on his shoes instead of buying him a $150 pair of Nike's.
Ah, she only lives in Norwalk. If it said "Greenwich Woman" they would have been the $150 Nikes.

Hell the boots that I am wearing right now cost me nothing. Of course they are tan in color and the tax payers paid $74.34 for them.
How soon before they fall apart?

Still going strong. The only issue is broken laces.

duh.
my last pair of boots cost about $190. i need water proof boots that i can do a lot of standing and walking in. they have lasted two years and are failing apart due to the unreasonable demands i make of them. i think they can last a little longer.
of course my feet settled into a womens size 10 about 15 years ago, so its not like i'm gonna grow out of them in two months.

Bellevilles or Altamas? I prefer the latter.

I don't believe any service use the black leather on a regular basis.
101st, 82nd and some of the Spec Ops groups will still wear bloused black leather ones with Class A's.

I'm wearing steel toe leather boots that I got for 30.
Even so, as said, poop happens. Get over it.

I've also got my Danner "Go Devil" boots that I got in '86, also still going strong after being resoled 2-3 times. However, I need new plastic inserts.

Note I said military standard boots, not the boots the military ACTUALLY issues.
I went through four pairs of army-issue shoes while in the IDF. They were terrible.

I'm assuming this is a Marine/Army mistranslation here. For us, Class A's (Alphas, as we called em) were the green dress uniform. Long sleeve shirt and tie, jacket etc. Please tell me the Army doesn't wear bloused boots with their dress uniforms.
