Intro
On this week’s episode, Mookie tells the incredible story of a man whose fall down the stairs has set an interesting legal precedence for remote workers while Erica recounts the arrest of a woman who fed her son’s hunger with a bomb threat. Cuz that’s appropriate, right?!
Brokeback Staircase!
A man in Germany successfully argued that he was owed a Workplace Accident Insurance payout for an injury that occurred at his home. The man was walking down his spiral staircase to his desk when he fell and broke his back. Though the case was passed through several courts, the Germany’s federal social court ultimately ruled that his fall happened during his “commute” to work and, therefore, was a workplace accident. So… y’all walk careful!
You Can’t Say Bomb on a Phone!
A Florida mom went full-on Mama Bear when her high-school-aged son came home HONGRY. An altercation occurred with the son and the poor lunch lady who wouldn’t give him a SECOND lunch. In response, his mom allegedly called in a bomb threat to the school. Police were able to identify her through caller ID and arrest her. Did baby boy ever get more food?
