What a jerk! Wonder if Culligan's going to sue his pansy parasite ass now.

A Windsor, Ont. hairdresser who became depressed and phobic after finding a dead fly in his bottled water has lost a damages award of $341,775 from the bottling company that supplied his water.

In a 9-0 judgment, the Supreme Court of Canada said that Culligan of Canada Ltd. could not be found liable for psychological damage suffered by Waddah Mustapha, because it could not have reasonably foreseen the consequences of his finding the fly.

Customer: Waiter, what's this fly doing in my soup?

Waiter: Looks like the backstroke.

Jesus that almost renewed my faith in the legal system, I mean HE NEVER DRANK THE WATER .... and as far as Culligan suing I believe he has to pay their legal costs which are significant (as he should)..

"[Mustapha] failed to show that it was foreseeable that a person of ordinary fortitude would suffer serious injury from seeing the flies in the bottle of water he was about to install. Unusual or extreme reactions to events caused by negligence are imaginable but not reasonably foreseeable," the decision read.

The court decided the psychological damages suffered by Mustapha were "too remote" to justify the $341,775 in compensation he was seeking, and ordered him to pay the company's court costs.

What a dickhead

They would really have to want that gerbil stuck inside to sue that hairdresser's ass.
