The optometrist got injured and had to go to the hospital and he lost, obviously lost some, suffered from injuries and stuff. He suffered half a day of skiing. Think about the insensitivity of that fucking answer Like how, and you were to court for that. How out of touch can you be to answer like that, like I, just like, seriously, I got into a car accident, yeah well, the optometrist took her to court because he was injured and I guess he lost whatever. So the lawyers asked her the question like what did you suffer? What losses did you suffer? She said I suffered a half a day of skiing.

Wow, imagine, imagine this, right, imagine you get into a car accident. Right, right, you get into a car accident. You have to stay there and wait for the police officers to come and take both your statements and stuff like that, and then you gotta switch, you gotta exchange information with the person you got into an accident and all that stuff, and then you gotta call your insurance company let them know what happened. This can take like two, three hours, right. And then you know you go to court and they ask you hey, you got into this accident from this time, this time. Blah, blah, blah. What damages or losses did you suffer from? And your answer is oh, I lost four hours of golf. Yeah, no, what did the other person suffer? What? How did they get hurt? How did the other person get her? They ran into each other Like there was an accident, like the ski accident. I guess she was skiing and they bumped.
