Legal Milestone

It's taken me over eight years of practicing law to be called a lying scumbag. (In a professional capacity :-).) I wonder if that's high or low.

Alright, tell us more. This sounds exciting.

I'm not sure there's a lot more to tell. It's a child support case. The mother was claiming we'd agreed to something back in 2004 which we hadn't agreed to, and when I told her we hadn't, and that if we had, we would have written it down, like we wrote everything else we agreed to then down, she called me names, so I walked away.

That's awesome! Congratulations, Charles!

Were you lying?

Drat, you just sent me off into the internet searching down the Muppets Tonight episode where the NYPD Frogs dealt with a lying scumbag. Only it was actually a slimy scuzball. Completely irrelevant, but hey - at least it amuses me.

Congratulations or Sorry to Hear That, whichever response is more appreciated!

... although personally my reaction is more along the lines of a glove in the face, as phase one of defending your honor. humph.

ooh! you could do this on your visit!

Hmm. Does that mean you've been called a lying scumbag in a non-professional capacity?

(I don't think I'd like a job where that was the official insult. I think tech support gets called incompetent and unhelpful, and I can deal with that on the rare instance.)

Chyra definitely had choice words of approximately that meaning as she was quitting Comet. I don't remember exactly what she said anymore.

I've never seen anyone actually put scum in a bag, so I don't really know what a scumbag is. I doubt it would be capable of deliberately deceiving people, though.

What if you put scum in a bag and labelled it "Yummy Candy"? I think that would be pretty good deception...
