How To Have A Yale-Sized Tantrum

I really prefer the expression "tanty" though, because it's just so much more... mature. However, I digress.

The star of this story is a 21-year-old Yale University student from Ohio, USA, who while travelling with US Airways had a piece of luggage go missing. His XBox 360, to be precise. Now, I am led to believe that had the staff been kind enough to immediately go about replacing the item, there may have been no further ado.

However, the student claims he got "an unconscionable run-around" from them. So he moseyed on over to the Hamilton County Common Pleas Court and filed a claim for $1,700 (for the lost console) plus $1,000,000 damages.

One. Million. Dollars. A million dollars worth of tears. And all because he can't play Mario Cart with his little friends while eating Cheetos in his parents' basement. I can hear you all sobbing along in sympathy. All except my fiancé, that is. He's sitting there thinking, "Damn, I really need to fly with US Airways and have an XBox 360 go missing."
