From: Overlawyered: Student: dorm’s ferret ban violates ADA

At Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, 19-year-old freshman Sarah Sevick has filed a complaint with the U.S. Justice Department saying her rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act were violated by the dorm’s ban on her pet ferret, which she says she needs at hand to calm her during panic attacks related to a physical disability.

Some posts speak for themselves. Let’s think of the dollars wasted because of this frivolous suit and what happens if she wins? Employers, remember Sarah Sevick’s name. This is someone hiring managers will want to avoid. “I can’t work late, I have a disability.” “I can’t do that project, I have a disability.” “I know that I don’t follow directions, I have a disability.” “I have to have a raise, I have a disability.” This is the kind of person who bcc’s her attorneys when turning in school projects or writing home.

As we said so many times before, I understand why there are dumb plaintiffs, but where in the world do they find attorneys to represent them?

This isn’t the dumbest lawsuit in the world, this is.
