One Zoom court case proved to be bizarre from beginning to end after a woman who sued a man for $10,000 over a bad date got into a heated argument with the judge.
In the United States, a person can generally sue another for any reason they want, which has opened the door for some truly strange lawsuits. But while the cases with no basis in reality tend to get thrown out quickly, some of the odd ones do actually have enough legal basis to proceed.
So while it may be funny to hear about people being sued for feeding ducks in passing, such cases can sometimes carry serious consequences for those involved.
Although it's not unheard of for a judge to turn a fairly petty matter into a cause for outrage, we can often find that they're as flabbergasted by the more outlandish lawsuits out there as we are.
That was abundantly clear during one Michigan hearing that sounded exhausting for just about everyone involved.
