A 61-year-old German woman has been fined €800 for blowing a whistle down the telephone at a call-centre worker and damaging her hearing - after she got fed up with constant cold-calls to her house.
The unnamed woman from Pirmasens in the western state of Rhineland-Palatinate told a judge in a local court that she was so annoyed by the unending stream of calls from marketing companies last August that she snapped and blew a whistle into the receiver.
She was hoping just to deter the company from calling her again, but ended up giving herself a criminal record - and the female call-centre employee long-term hearing problems and tinnitus due to the effort she put into the high-pitched blast.
Finding her guilty of bodily harm, the judge fined the 61-year-old €800.
She initially appealed the fine but decided to pay it shortly before a hearing scheduled for Tuesday
wat do u think
1) Don't double post
2) This would fit in the "
News Articles
" thread.
3) It needs a link added to the source of the article.
Have fun.

I got a 12 on that survey thing...which is odd, as I do suffer from PTSD :x But otherwise am pretty much in a good mood, minus irritability now and then, so I guess I'm fine.

humm, I got a 33 on that survey thingie.
Odd. Other than having to control my temper, I'm an otherwise average joe. That and the lack of sleep :S during the last 5 months I've had severe problems getting asleep.

Hey Rank- are you still paying a WoW sub, or did you take a break for SWTOR? I'm playing wow again I think- at least somewhat- and I want to send someone a Scroll of Res for the mount. If you plan on picking it back up in the future, you should let me send you the scroll.

Well, the operator shouldn't be subjected to that for doing her job and should receive adequate compensation. Advertising is intrusive, but people without other options will take available employment. Not to mention that most companies have an ethical standard or legal obligation to remove one's number from calling lists if asked politely.
However, I doubt it was the intention of the women blowing the whistle to cause injury, so I don't think she should be fined.
Edit:
I'd be regarded as very inspired and looked at with respect
What period are we talking about here? Because I doubt there's ever been a better time for Christian solidarity. Prior to the writing of the first amendment, there were various internecine spats between the different sects and the majority religion tended to control the various state legislatures. Prior still to that, active dissent from the majority religion could result in execution. About one hundred years ago, perhaps. The average lifespan would be around 50 though and there'd be minimal work regulations.

I scored 53 on that survey thing, with a high probability of bipolar disorder. Sounds about right.

Could this survey have been created by psychiatrists who are looking for more work? ^_^

So I went and re-installed Wow, after 6 months, and did some dailies and posted some auctions. Fun times. I picked up Skarr for my hunter, now that no one is farming him.
I will say that after that long a break, I have no idea what I'm doing. lol
