warshawlawI was high bidder on a lot when it the auction allegedly closed, had been all day, yet it went into "extended time" instead where I lost the item. Why, if I am the high bidder at the close, doesn't it close? Isn't that the idea of a closing time? I mean, why have a closing time if you aren't going to close the auction at that time? What's the point? Reminds me of the Seinfeld where they take the car reservation but don't have the car...
I guess the logic comes from the same place that the court clerk I spoke with this a.m. was coming from. I needed to file a post-trial motion on a neighbor dispute case and they told me I had to use a family law form. I said "but it isn't a family law case" and the clerk said I still had to use the family law form. I said "let me get this straight: you are telling me I have to file a family law form in a non-family law case?" She said right, I said OK, I'll file the wrong form. Who can disagree with that?
I have a headache...
