Serves You Right?!

Woman breaks both her legs protesting loud music
Associated Press
10/20/2003 — RIDGEFIELD, Wash. — Toni Lynn Lycan, 44, got so mad about the music blasting from the apartment downstairs that she jumped up and down as hard as she could – and broke both her legs, according to police in Ridgefield.
The injury was discovered when officers were sent to the Carriage House Apartments on Thursday afternoon, Police Chief Bruce Hall told The Columbian newspaper in Vancouver.
Lycan yelled at her downstairs neighbor, Allen Haines, 27, to turn down his music. Haines then grabbed a broom and banged the handle on his ceiling.
That infuriated Lycan, so she jumped up in the air and slammed both feet on the floor, hard enough to break both her legs about 4 inches below the kneecap, Hall said.
Moral of the story? If it’s too loud, you’ll hurt yourself complaining about it… just let it go! 🙂

Well I don’t know if it serves her right… but it was pretty dumb to say the least.

wtf was wrong with her legs that the bones broke from her jumping??!? Thats just not normal… but that is an interesting story… our huge (really, I’m not trying to be mean, but they were quite large) upstairs neighbors sophomore year would blow out our light bulbs by stomping… (and we werent even being loud!)
