Girls fined for giving neighbour cookies
Mon Feb 07, 2005 9:11 am
DURANGO, Colorado (Reuters) - A Colorado judge ordered two teen-age girls to pay about $900 (480 pounds) for the distress a neighbour said they caused by giving her home-made cookies adorned with paper hearts.
The pair were ordered to pay $871.70 plus $39 in court costs after neighbour Wanita Renea Young, 49, filed a lawsuit complaining that the unsolicited cookies, left at her house after the girls knocked on her door, had triggered an anxiety attack that sent her to the hospital the next day.
Taylor Ostergaard, then 17, and Lindsey Jo Zellitte, 18, paid the judgment on Thursday after a small claims court ruling by La Plata County Court Judge Doug Walker, a court clerk said on Friday.
The girls baked cookies as a surprise for several of their rural Colorado neighbours on July 31 and dropped off small batches on their porches, accompanied by red or pink paper hearts and the message: "Have a great night".
The Denver Post newspaper reported on Friday that the girls had decided to stay home and bake the cookies rather than go to a dance where there might be cursing and drinking.

Holy shit though, what the fuck is the World coming to. I'd hit that dumb whore over the head with those cookies if I ever met her. Someone tries to be nice, and they get sued. Nice one genius.
That was a bit overly aggressive, I'm watching something on Oprah about Mike Tyson. That's my excuse.

I know, but he's always posting weird news, and I was wondering if he got them just from one site or something.

Ahh yeah, yeah, he does get it from different sources. A good starting point would be Googling "weird news" (Sorry Mazzocchi!)
