Michelle Egglestone from Ballarat in Victoria is suing her former fiance over injuries she suffered at his house.
It seems they were having a few (?) drinks on the verandah of the house when she decided she needed to pee. But go to the toilet? No way, that’s for softies. Instead she hung over the side of a veranda in the back garden when she fell onto a star picket underneath.
She suffered pelvic, lower abdominal, vaginal, rectal and bladder injuries and required surgery. Ouch!!!!
Her lawyers say she has since suffered post traumatic stress and depression. As you would I expect having sat rather forcefully on a pointy stick.
She claims her ex was negligent for failing to adequately light the veranda and for failing to erect a balustrade around it. She says he created a “situation of danger” and exposed her to injury by not capping the star picket onto which she fell and for not warning her of the risk.
How about taking a look in the mirror at yourself, Michelle? Try pissing in the toilet – it would have saved you a hell of a lot of hurt. (and peeing over the side of the verandah saved you a walk of what, 10 metres, to the toilet).
Having said that, I do feel sympathy for her? My eyes watered at the thought of what happened to her … just like reading stories of guys who cut their balls off. And yes, I would think she has a case if the house was as described.
