You can sue anyone you (don't) like, but I find it hard to imagine how the owner of the vehicle has any causal relationship to the accident, and therefore any liability whatsoever.

Do I need my attorney to draft a waiver and have the service manager sign it when I drop my manual Accord off at the Honda dealership for a service tomorrow morning?

I think you should note on the service contract only an employee holding a full license and trained to drive a stick shift is allowed to drive your car.

I took my truck for its service some years ago, and a girl, sorry "young woman", who assisted on the service department front desk took my keys and went out to fetch my truck, before returning a moment later (without my truck) and shrieked "It's got a stick!"

Arrested for not standing for the Pledge.

He doesn't want to stand, so the teacher gives him a hard time, asks an 11 year old "why not go to another place to live", pushing him, a kid, until the teachers calls security because she doesn't want to "deal with him"
This very much came about because he wanted to exercise his Constitutional right not to stand, and the teacher got upset about that. Shocking that the kids gets escorted by police and not the teacher.

I have never strangled or hit a woman but I can certainly sympathize with "some" of the men who have. I have had a couple of GF that back in the day before the term "Karen" was a name for some psychopathic deranged females I wanted to strangle but my upbringing taught me to leave and cut my losses. NOT worth it. Let me be clear before anyone says anything. I would never hit a female. I never have hit one.

This is one of the most deeply strange posts I’ve ever read on BE.

And that’s saying a lot.

A few weeks ago that would have been crystal clear, but in a post Depp v Heard world, you've got me wondering.

robin1234

Hmm. There’s an increasing number of newspaper stories I’ve seen the headlines of countless times, but lack the motivation to actually read & find out what the actual story is about. This is one of them. Who is Depp? Who is Heard??

Johnny Depp, a famous actor best known for his creation in the Pirates of the Caribbean series of films, pirate "Jack Sparrow" famously modeled, by Johnny Depp, on Rolling Stones guitar player Keith Richards. Prior to that Mr Depp was well known for appearing in several art house films, with the best known probably being Edward Scissorhands.

Amber Heard is an actress who isn't famous for much, other than appearing in the film Aquaman (which was a massive commercial success, though not apparently in any way due to Ms Heard's contribution) and being married to Johnny Depp.

Anyway, Mr Depp had the misfortune to meet and marry Amber Heard, with the resulting marriage being tumultuous, leading to allegations of domestic abuse by Ms Heard against Mr Depp. The allegations resulted in him losing several lucrative roles, including being booted from the aforementioned Pirates of the Caribbean series.

The current court case has been brought by Mr Depp for defamation of character, and the results have been something of a circus, notably with bizarre and sometimes apparently purgered testimony from Ms Heard. .... Including the section I alluded to above where Ms heard attempted to distinguish between (IIRC) having "punched" Mr Depp and having "hit" him.

Ms Heard also demonstrated that she is unable to distinguish between "donated", and "pledged", and has made a number of other unintentional gaffs, including apparently admitting that she leaked information about alleged, but unsubstantiated domestic abuse by Mr Depp, to the Hollywood gossip web site TMZ.
