Some people are weird.

She claims that acute stress forced her to give up her job as a sales assistant.
I dont know how that would be so stressful that you would have to give up your job.

The drama took place several years ago but has only now reached court, where the victim is seeking unspecified damages.
She probally wants money since she quit her job.

I wonder what caused the tank to burst?

lol yeah what a joke..

why would you quit your job because a big giant fish tank explodes? so you recieve some gashes and cuts.. im not saying thats not a bad thing to happen.

but not enough to make someone say "oh no this is too much i must quit my job now"

wounds heal.
so does the post-tramatic stress.

I tend to agree, but with much less sarcasm.

I never heard that story before now, its pretty amazing. That would have been a real site to see....people running around trying to catch sharks, oooh the mahem!

Sadly, post-traumatic stress disorder can afflict a person for the rest of their life.

If it was me i'll sue them also not because I got scratches and post-traumatic stress. But because they get my shoes wet

I was hoping for better pics. Maybe of when the tank blew and all the sharks were swiming around her feet.

I was thinking that when they say she was "forced to leave her job" it doesn't necessarily mean she quit. Maybe she stopped showing up and they gave her the boot. Maybe she took some time off and eventually they said "enough is enough, either come back or leave"

Who knows? That would be a bit freaky to me. But be a great story for later And I'd want free admission to that aquarium for life
