Halloween is a time for silly costumes, candies, and Michael Myers movies binge fest.
If Halloween movies have taught us anything, it’s that jack-o’-lantern festivities can turn into a real nightmare. It’s all fun and games inside a horror house until a chainsaw-wielding extra shows up for one final scare.
‘Don’t get injured’ is rarely on top of anyone’s list of fitness goals. Injuries are relatively common when exercising, but some are worse than others. Some are so bad that they result in weighty lawsuits, such as:
When a personal trainer makes a trainee undergo a highly intense workout session that results in hospitalization
When an exercise equipment permanently injures a gym goer rather than whipping him or her into shape
But if you thought gyms are only sued for physical injuries due to negligence, you’re not flexing your imagination hard enough.
When Ben Affleck called off his engagement with Janet Jackson’s former backup dancer (you might know her), he avoided having to fork over half his assets if he cheated, as indicated in their supposed prenuptial agreement. Given his checkered relationship history, it was a smart decision.
The only sentiment robbers and burglars should feel is remorse, but that’s rarely the case. As if being terrorized by complete strangers in your own home or workplace isn’t bad enough, robbery and theft victims can be further aggravated by criminals who label themselves as victims.
In an uncontested divorce, the spouses agree on matters involving child custody and child support, alimony, and property and liability division. That means less time with lawyers, less money spent on court fees, and shorter lingering heartbreak. In this scenario, it’s reasonable to expect that you and your spouse can finalize your split at the soonest possible time.
If you ask us, the only sin restaurant chains are guilty of committing is serving lip-smacking, high-calorie meals. Unfortunately, there have also been countless cases of overpricing, false advertising, and food poisoning, which are actual sins against consumers.
Matt Lauer got fired from the Today show after being exposed as a sexual predator in the workplace. His long history of bad behavior was instrumental in his divorce from wife Annette Roque, whom he’s now supposed to pay $50 million. He’s unhappy about that.
There’s no such thing as a ‘typical domestic abuse victim.’ Even in the world of celebrity, whether you’re a Hollywood A-lister or the world’s highest paid athlete, you can be either abuser or abused.
In some states, judges and prosecutors tend to be more lenient with women aggressors, even though domestic violence laws are intended to be gender-neutral.
The keyless entry system may have made driving more convenient, but it has also made car theft easy. Using a nifty little transmitter, thieves can break into any ‘keyless entry’ vehicle by tricking it into thinking a key has unlocked it. Good for the thieves, bad for the hundreds of thousands of car owners victimized every year.
It’s perfectly understandable to relocate to another city or state after getting divorced. But just because Elizabeth Taylor did it all the time doesn’t mean anyone can. Leaving the place where you and your ex used to live is especially difficult when kids are involved.
