Oprah's mom fights the power
So a high-end fashion shop in Waukesha, Wis., sued Vernita Lee in July for being $150k in arrears, and now Lee has fired back with a countersuit because it's not her problem. Y'see, in 2002, the store had sued Lee for $174k, which Lee apparently paid back, and as part of the settlement, the store agreed not to give her any more credit. Well, she talked them into it again in 2004, and here we are, and so she should get four years' worth of clothes for free, plus attorney fees, plus a bonus payment of 2x the finance-charge part of her bill.

Why, that's perfectly logical! Why would anyone in today's society expect anyone to be accountable for their actions or, for that matter, debts.
Just look at what's going on today in our (America's) financial arena. These heavy hitters don't want to be responsible for 700+B in bad judgment calls so why would we expect some shop owner to be held to any higher a standard.

I bet she spent all of that money on hats. You can never have too many hats.

It's just a revamped version of a familiar refrain: "well, the bartender should have known better than to serve me another drink, so it's the bar's fault that I killed three people on my way home." It's always someone else's fault.
