Litigious Teens

Baby sister is negotiating her first apartment for sophomore year. Her
potential roommate's email ends with:

>> If you are not willing to take either of
>> these compromises, both of which are not what I wanted going into
>> this, then we will have to go with the original terms of the
>> contract.
>

And all of the sudden, there's a UW Madison freshman who I have never
met and who I want to beat with a stick.

Also, PS, teen, the more you learn about contracts, the more you learn
they don't mean crap. I suggested she try out the term "efficient
breach" on this girl. Then realized I wanted to beat myself with a
stick.

Also had weird flashbacks of being expected to smell African spices
and pitch in for things I neither bought nor wanted...
