He lost his original suit, he lost his job, now a court has agreed to hear his appeal. This man gets the award for worst…consumer…ever. Video inside.

You Could Steal A Lot In The Time It Takes To Read This 7-Eleven Anti-Shoplifting Sign (But It’s Worth It)
I want to smack this guy over the head. Not to hurt him, mind you, but to bring him back to reality.
this guy deserves a swift kick in the nuts. That’s my ruling.
Chances are your pants are not as fancy as the pair
Of very fancy pants that Mr. Fancy Pants will wear
When everybody’s marching in the fancy pants parade
He’s gonna pass the test
He’s gonna be the best
The best in terms of pants
Hehe, seriously wtf is wrong with this guy? I understand being annoyed, but did it really call for vendetta?
I’m curious to see the basis of the appeal, since the trial court judge really went out of her way to allow him to play out every stupid angle so he’d have nothing to appeal on.
Weeeee! I love this guy – in that love-to-hate-him sort of way. He is the best type of nut, totally cracked.
I read the full “findings of facts and conclusions of law” a while ago… As nutty as most people think this guy is, he is that much crazier…
He of course, according to him, didn’t actually sue over his pants…. He actually sued because the dry cleaners had a “satifaction guaranteed” sign up, and he was suing because…. ummm how to put it… suing retroactively for dissatisfaction, basically saying they owed for 5 or so years of dissatisfaction, since they eventually didn’t satisfy him. As if the satisfaction guarantee made these dry cleaners responsible for his satisfaction in every way. Because they “lost” his pants, that made him dissatisfied with the entire 5 years of service, and he sued for money back guarantees and false advertising type restitutions for every day of every year, sued each cleaner owner personally, not just the cleaning biz…
Super Fun Time Crazy, and the guy should actually probably go to jail….
All the crazy details:

BTW: “shocking many in the dry-cleaning and legal communities. “
Best. Line. Ever.
Did I hear the reporter correctly? The original dry cleaner tried to “con” him with another pair of pants?
Anyway, I think this lawsuit could easily come to a close if the new judge declares the dry cleaner guilty and fine them with a judgment of $54. That’ll really stick it to FancyPants.
I here Wikipedia links him to ‘Douchbag’. Seriously, what a piece of human excrement.
He’s in need of court-ordered help. Just my opinion.
I appreciate this man is trying to make a point here about shoddy service at most dry cleaners, but 58 million is simply laughable, and he’s doing himself a disservice by continuing along with this amount. D-bag. This man’s attitude sums up a lot about what’s wrong with our country these days.
Two words that will do wonders for both consumers and businesses in this country:
Loser pays
Do that and these frivolous, hold out for a settlement, type lawsuits will stop dead in their tracks.
Roy Pearson is a douche.
I would like to give this guy a glass of death.
OK, so he lost his suit, and how he lost his court case? [rimshot]
What a grade-A Asshole. From my understanding, the owners of this establishment don’t have much money and they can’t be away from work. I hope he loses not only the appeal but all of his money. This is why our country has a reputation for absurd lawsuits.
Another example of overweening pride.
He could have simply accepted the offer of replacement pants and been done with it, but…
