Shame!

You probably read the story of the lawyer who spilt ketchup over a clerk’s trousers and then tried to deflect the request to pay the dry cleaning bill by telling a story of family tragedy. How the community ostracised the lawyer when the clerk decided to email the story to the world in an deliberate effort to shame the lawyer.

Oh no, wait, I think I got that wrong. The clerk was married to a millionaire and the lawyer was in the middle of a ruinous divorce, in fact hadn’t he just been evicted from the family home?

Or was it all the other way round? Oh dear, I seem to have got rather confused.

One thing is for certain, though. The idea of anyone paying for deliberately ruining something (trousers, career, whatever) of someone else’s is shameful, isn’t it?
