legal question

ok long story short, over the weekend me and some friends went to a party. i got wasted and apparently bumped into some guy who spilled his drink on this girl's laptop. she wants me to pay for it cuz i'm supposedly the initial reason for this shit.

i have to talk to her tomorrow about it. most i'm paying for is half...that's the most. i don't remember anything from the party, so i'm only going off of what my friends have said. fucking macs cost so much to repair.

my reasons for thinking i'm good:
1) negligence on her part - don't have an open laptop out at a party, seriously wtf.

2) i bumped into somebody, so at the most it's a 50/50 fault situation to me.

does this sound right?

Make the argument that the guy you pushed has never liked you and obviously fell on purpose?

actually i just talked it over with my friends. i'm offering half straight up, take it or leave it.

if it goes to court i'm pretty much covered.

i don't know if i wanna even pay half.

i don't think it will. she'll be fucked too. we're all underage at that party. i don't even know if they'd care about it. i'm thinkin it'll be easiest to just go half and get over this. i'm not even losing sleep over it really.

How hard could you really have bumped this guy? He had possession of the offending liquid and was thus responisible for its disposition. But if these people are your friends just split it in 3, she took unneccessary risks being with drunk teenagers, other dude needs to get a grip on his peach schnapps and you were a drunk idiot: all somewhat responsible.

even if it is fucked up, i agree that you shouldnt pay shit. thats like saying i should be angry at the farmers who picked the peppers that were used in the hot wing sauce which, after i pooped out, caused my butthole to catch fire. her blaming you and hold you accountable is retarded logic

Don't pay anything dude. Think of it as if it were a traffic situation.

There are 3 cars.

You are the car behind everyone, you accidentally rear end the guy's car causing him to rear end the chick's car. The guy's car has no damage, so you're ok! However, since it is the guy who rear ended the chick and caused damage to her vehicle, he's gotta pay.

I'm pretty sure that's how it works from everything I've heard.

I knew a couple people in college that had their laptops broken at a party. NONE got anything from the offenders. They tried but it was their own damn fault for having the laptop out.

OHH you wanna play music off your itunes? Then load your damn ipod with the fucking music and use that. Hmmmm, $2k macbook or $200 ipod to get stolen or broken. Anyone with common sense chooses the ipod. The bitch is stupid. Tell her to fuck off.

Unless she is like a best friend or your boys girl that you will see regularly. Otherwise looks like you won't be going to any of her parties in the near future. I'm sure you won't miss them, plenty of other parties to attend.

I am with the above. I think even paying half is obsurd... especially since her parents probably bought it for her in the first place... don't know many students that throw down 2Gs for a laptop on top of tuition and everything...

I wouldn't be asking for money, just kicking myself for leaving it out!
