Interesting cases are being held in all over the world. To cope with these cases, courts sometimes take historical decisions or just dismiss it.
In the United States, it is rather different. According to the researches, by reason of the most bizarre and the most interesting cases are being held in this country, every year, a competition called “the most interesting case of the year” is being held. The most interesting case is being rewarded.
Here, I am giving you a list of bizarre cases decided by the Supreme Courts all over the world (most of them are from the USA) - some dealing with personal injury court cases, some are psychotic and others with cases so weird that they lack a category entirely. And, keep this in your mind: these cases aren’t predicated on the idea that a dispute will be fairly resolved.
My emotional trauma!
A man living in San Diego files a $5.4 million lawsuit against the Municipality by reason of the “emotional trauma” he suffered after seeing a woman in the men’s toilet at a concert held in the City Hall.
Why didn’t they give me!
A prisoner convicted in a single cell gets angry at the prison administration due to he wasn’t given free deodorant and sues the administration.
Again! A woman!
A woman driver collides with a man riding a snowmobile on the icy road. The snowmobile’s driver dies. The woman driver sues the man’s widowed wife due to she is psychologically shocked by witnessing the death of the man.
I am depressed!
Terrence Dickson tries to leave the house he has just broken into by way of the garage. Since the garage door is malfunctioning he turns back to use the house door. But, the door connecting the garage and house gets locked when he pulled it shut and he stucks in the garage. Because the houseowners are on a vacation, Mr. Dickson survives in the garage for 8 days eating dry dog food and a case of Pepsi he finds. He sues the houseowners claiming he was upset and the situation caused him a depression and he gets $500.000 for his mental damage.
God! You didn’t save me!
A Romanian prisoner Pavel M., who is serving 20 years in Prison for murder, sues God for failing to keep him from the Devil. The case is dismissed because the defendant is neither an individual nor a company.
Everything is free!
Kara Walton tries to enter the night club from the toilet window just because not to pay the $3.5 entrance fee. She falls down to the floor and knocks out her 2 front teeth. She sues the night club owner for this. She is awarded $12.000 and dental expenses.
You are a thief!
Peter Wellis, divorcing his wife, doesn’t want to pay compensation. He claims his wife didn’t tell him that she was using birth control pills and he accuses his wife of sperm theft.
I searched for this list, containing the bizarre court cases, on the net, found interesting and translated into English. If you know any other court cases like these please share with us.
Thanks…

@ Robbie,
You are right Robbie. These people just aim to swindle money out of someone or a company even though some know they are not right. It is true that most of these people are not normal. And, the most abnormal thing is when the courts give a right to these people.
Thanks for your comment.
@ Anele,
I absolutely agree with you. Let's call them "Personality Disorder". These kind of people suspect that others are harming or deceiving them all the time, like paranoiacs. These people lack of loyalty and trustworhiness.... don't want to share something about them with others because of the fear that their information will be used against them.... think they are always right and never blame themselves... believe that they are special (kind of narcissistic).
These people are among us. I have always thought that these people don't have feelings, i mean emotional feelings, feelings for others. They live just for their ego. I am so tired of living among them. God! Help me!
Hi Yasemin,
Those are weird court cases! Some people take advantage the situation to earn money even if they do not have a (legal) right to do so. To sue God because of your own fault, is the weirdest things I've ever heard. Hmmmm.....notice some so called criminals are over-reacting. By the way, thank you for sharing this blog. It enlightened me in some ways..... : )
@ Tawfeeq
It is one of the "Should i laugh or cry?" :) Your policemen are really smart, you are lucky Tawfeeq :))
The story is really like an anecdote. Poor man! He lost both his calf and money.
Thanks for your interesting story Dear Tawfeeq :)
@ Viviana,
You made me laugh a lot :))) I was reading them open-mouthed. I cannot believe there are such people living among us on earth :D
I will share one you sent with everybody and let them think :S
Judge OKs Mother's Request to Collect Semen from Her Dead Son
Austin, Texas: The mother of a 21-year-old murder victim was granted by a court the right to extract semen from her son's body two days after he died, in order to fulfill his dream of having children. Nikolas Evans had often told his mother, Marissa, about his desire to have three sons, and although he didn't have a significant other at the time of his death, Judge Guy Herman agreed to her request that the body be kept at a temperature cool enough to preserve the sperm until a specialist could be acquired to retrieve it. Mrs. Evans plans on using a surrogate to give birth to her grandchildren.
Hello yas,

@ Anele,
I absolutely give a right to Bartiromo :) Pity, poor Bartiromo. Why was he banned playing in the team as a professional? Huh? He is right. If he wasn't kicked off the team he was going to make millions as a professional baseball player. Don't you believe this? Then, you don't know Barti. Poor Barti. You deserve to get that $50 million. Everybody's eyes were on Barti, peh... If they didn't flag him as a potential star earning millions, believe me, they were envious of his fame, yup! Kid! If people were really envious of you they would do this to you purposely. Now, do you think you will be a star after this case? Boy! You are an idiot as your director said.. heheh :D
Anele, I think these people are just crazy or just idiots.
What do you think about this kind of people?
@ Lucy
Your example was quite interesting. I both give right to PETA and laughed at their policy. I think there is a dispute going on between PETA and KFC. I don't know how KFC offers people chickens but they have to be humanistic :) This part was making the case into a funny thing although it is rightful. I mean how can you be humanistic to chickens? Or, are there standarts designed to maintain and slaughter chickens more humanly? It is still massacre, what is the matter? Thank God, I am against KFC, McDonalds...
I found this pic on the net...
@ Mahgol,
They seem to be jokes but they are real, happening in real life :)
@ Syubi,
Hi Syubi, You have just pointed my favourites :) My favourite is "emotional trauma". I can't believe that man. He is like a little child! In fact, i were the woman, i would............ as if he has never seen a woman in his life before! God!!!
Most of these cases are form the USA. I think, Americans are bored of their lives and just file a lawsuit against somebody. I am afraid time will come that they will sue their own shadow for stalking :D
Thanks for your thoughts Syubi :)
