This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

City attorney M. Jeffry Spahr said the official response is that her claim is denied and in his words, "poop happens."
That's nothing compared to stepping in bear poop.

wants the city to reimburse her for $54
And she has a 1 year old and she doesn't know how to clean up a little mess ?
1. Grab Rag
2. Apply Water
3. Wipe off poop
4. Shoe is now fixed

Good advice.
Poop is a fact of life. It's best to learn how to deal with it.
Cleaning poop can't be any worse than grape juice on clothinbg and gum in the hair.

I think I figured it out.
Today is Friday. Shaun's Prank Day.
1. Why Would Newsweek bother to even print something so stupid ?
2. Why Sue for only $100 in these days, why not $10 million ?
3. What kind of lawyer would even take a case like this ?
4. A $54 pair of toddler's shoe's for a 1 year old ? What made out of Gold ?
Actually I googled the stupid story, she was even on TV, with her $600,000 house in the background...

I don't think that the problem is with her shoe.

Tedd,
$54 pair of toddler's shoe's for a 1 year old ?
Crazy huh? But yeah if they're name brand that sounds about right.

I tend to agree with you on that one. And to fix what is broken, $100 will not touch it..

I am glad she is in New York and not Seattle, yikes out here she might be out on the beach and get dive bombed by a seagull as they have a amazing sense of aim. So is she going to sue God for damages to her hair ? geez...

Agreed.
I mean all animals do it.
Are we gonna' diaper all the wild animals that don't have proper sewer facilities?

Of course we will not diaper all animals, we will fine property owners that allow wild animals to poop on their property instead of teaching them to use facilities (and provide said facilities). I can't wait to see how they get a pigeon flock to poop in unison into a drain/tub/etc.

No one should have to out up with walking in some inconsiderate pet owners dog s@$t. If you cant clean up after your dog then you shouldnt have one. I think this woman is right. I dont think she has a case but she will make a point that most dog owners are slobs. Walk your dog on your own property and walk in the s$&t yourself.

And how do you propose that we deal with "wild" dogs who happen to @!$%# on public property were the public may have the horrid possibility to step in it?

Thanks for the laugh, Shaun. I needed that.
As for dog poop, I'd be a millionaire if I sued every time I stepped in it, washed it off my shoes, cleaned it from the carpet or scooped it off the grass. Of course, I'd be suing myself since my dogs are the culprits. I've developed a curious and, at times, disconcerting indifference to the stuff. But I always wash my hands.
:-O

Me, too.
Not to mention the horse, poop, cat poop, goose poop and the eagle poop. I was once showered crow poop as a group flew over head.
I wonder if they did a DNA test to prove it was truly dog poop.
Like they say S@&t happens.
I think there are more important issues to clog up the courts. :-)

With kids, that is entirely possible.

While I generally agree with you all that this mother is going a bit overboard; where is the irresponsible pet owner. They had to know that their pooch took a dump. It seems to me that they could have cared less if someone stepped in it. People who own pets need to be responsible to clean up behind them. Otherwise leave them home to poop in your yard. It is possible that this was a stray animal, in that case the staff should have cleaned it up. I would be a bit ticked too, but not ticked enough to file a lawsuit. Sad reality, She will probably win.

What kind of family outing was this that it was so easily ruined? If that had happened to my family, we would have had a big laugh over it (after cleaning up the mess) and it would become one of our oft-repeated stories ("Remember the time we all went to the poop-quarium! HAHAHA!"). Lighten up! Yeesh.

i hardly ever comment anymore but "poop-quarian" made me laugh out loud and I had to give kudos where they are due (or should that be doo?). Thanks keek.
As to picking dog-leavings... a friend commented once that it must feel humiliating to pick up after my dog... I said it was much less humiliating than sitting outside picking dog poop out of my shoe treads with a toothpick.

This story made me laugh, too.
I pick up after my dogs.
Still, I have stepped in my share of animal poop.
Life can be messy sometimes.
I often wonder what the fish think about all the human poop that gets processed and dumped in the ocean?

I have a new kitten, and she has taken a distinct liking to my office.
