Dumb Lawsuit Department

[fauxklore]

I read a filler article about a high school student in Danbury, Connecticut, whose family is suing a teacher. Apparently, the student in question fell asleep in class. And the teacher, in order to awaken him, hit her hand on his desk. The student claims the noise of this has caused permanent damage to his eardrum.

One can only imagine what the kid would claim had the teacher shaken him.
