A Washington, D.C., dry cleaners says it's their business a longtime customer is taking to the cleaners.A $10 dry cleaning bill for a pair of trousers has ballooned into a $67 million civil lawsuit.
Plaintiff Roy Pearson, a judge in Washington, D.C., says in court papers that he's been through the ringer over a lost pair of prized pants he wanted to wear on his first day on the bench.
He says in court papers that he has endured "mental suffering, inconvenience and discomfort."
He says he was unable to wear that favorite suit on his first day of work.
He's suing for 10 years of weekend car rentals so he can transport his dry cleaning to another store.
Oh, and by the way – the pants were found three days later, but Pearson has continued his persecution of the owners of the dry cleaning business, Jin and Soo Chung and their son. Oh, and by the way, the pants were found a week after they were dropped off – but Pearson refuses to accept them back, despite their having matching receipt tags and being the right size, color, and brand. Yet the suit continues.
