"SERIOUS MICHIGAN LAW STUDENT"

No...he really isnt.

Can I send Tattletale $120 to make this thing stop?

lame

Guys at my high school used to complain by e-mail and appear totally ineffectual and emasculated all the time, it was no big deal.

-FART STUD

Lat, please ban the poster of 1-6. For life. Please. Thanks

Michigan students are pussies: "I can't have jager cause of bar review." Grow a pair.

Clunky presentation on the post, Kash... But the exchange brought the lulz.

Apparently Michigan students cannot be trusted. I'll be sure to keep this in mind going forward.

EVILDOER smells like pee. DO NOT sit next to her in class.

The power of shaming?

Law school students lacking tact? OMGNOWAIZ.

So, this is two girls speaking to one another, and one girl (who is in law school at the University of Michigan) calls the other girl a 'bitch' and a 'whore' over a cell phone she borrowed.

Sorry, Michigan, this is beyond TTT. This is PWT...Pure White Trash.

Doin' the state proud, dawg...

"I'm not going to lecture you about how this is no way to treat a law school class mate and definately no way to start making your reputation in the legal community..."

DEFINITELY not a good way to start making your reputation in the legal community with that misspelling.

were those in-state admits?

Ah yes. "When in Rome."

EVILDOER is in-state... from Kalamazoo (as if you couldn't guess).

"Michigan wants the 'Michigan student.' They read the personal statement to look for signs that you're outgoing, collegial, and driven, without being overly competitive."
-- Vault quote

Who borrows a cell phone from somebody they don't know for more than a week? You would think a law student at a top law school could afford a cell phone. More importantly, who lends a cell phone to somebody they don't know? Did they just have an extra phone lying around? What the did the lendee do when she received calls directed to the owner? Did she change the voicemail message?

I don't care what the facts are... the borrower is a weirdo and definately a b****.

"Indorse"???

this is just dumb - isn't there anything more entertaining?

"Indorse" is a proper spelling, 26, just not used often.

True story: a Michigan law student lied about being poor and begged people for money. The debt was collected.

All the spelling errors. Ouch. Sure glad I went to a first-tier law school.

25: Perhaps EVILDOER broke a phone, borrowed phone from TTTletale and put in her old sim card.

But really, wtf was TTTletale thinking loaning out a phone for that long to someone she probably did not know well and not follow up on getting $ until months later? Were these two friends and had a falling out or something?

yes, "indorse" - clearly you haven't studied commercial paper.

31: no. evildoer is a 1L, tattletale is a 3L.

thank god i don't live in the midwest

LOL @ 30: Michigan's T10.

I have never heard of first world people borrowing cellphones. Aren't cellphones like $50? Can't Rome chick get her own phone.

G to H to E-T-T-O girl you Ghetto, G to H to E-T-T-O, girl you Ghetto.

22:
Yes? Please, go on.

19: What makes you assume they are white?

Nice redacting, but for the missed f-bomb.

Reminds me of a crazy guy's campaign sign in Louisiana a few years ago: "NO MORE B***-SHIT!"

This is doing wonders for michigan's reputation as a first-rate law school, with a friendly, cooperative student body.

From that email exchange, TATTLETALE is clearly never getting her phone back. EVILDOER probably already bartered it for some sort of illegal substance, on which she was high when she wrote the two obscenity-laden emails.

On that note, whenever I read something in all-caps, I assume the writer is either 1) a failing middle-school student, 2) a spammer from a third world country, or 3) in the midst of his first week on the internet. Now I have to add to that list 4) a U Mich law student.

Is that kitty considered a LOLCAT?

IM IN ROME WIT YUR CELFONE MAKIN' CALLZ ON YUR DIMEZ

Alright. Who's going to point to their facebook profiles?

My guess: Tattletale is a big-boned redhead and Evildoer looks like she went bobbing for Frech fries in the local McDonald's deep fryer. It is Michigan...

I agree with 25...who lends a stranger a cell phone for even one day. And who has been paying the bill for the past six months?

35:

I just checked. You seem to be right about that. Odd, though. I didn't even apply to it as a back up school. Was it always T10?

-30 (HLS '06)

I am not surprised. Michigan State Law School definitely is a TTT.

38:

They are white. You must be white if you are asking this. You can tell by the exchange. Here's what's between the lines:

"Like, oh my gosh, Suzy, you are such a, like, total bitch and stuff. I will get you your phone, stupid stupidface."

45

They've been T10 ever since Tom Izzo showed up on campus.

Is UMichigan State Law School better than UPenn State Law School?

Its been really tough to tell the difference since those mergers.

I agree with 44.

Plus, he/she could have just canceled the pone as lost and reactivated the account with a new phone.

What ever this dispute is about, it is not a phone.

42, lol.

"when you email a perfect stranger something really hateful (like she did to me)"

Wait, they're strangers?! Then why the F did TATTLETALE lend EVILDOER her phone?!

I don't think the cell phone service was included in the transaction. HTH.

I got accepted to both UMichigan State and UPenn State Law Schools - what do you want to know?

I think the Nittany Lions are a better football team than the Spartans. Reverse it in basketball.

1. Evildoer is not white.

2. My classmates at Mich are great (for law students). Evildoer just happens to be completely insane (I've had numerous classes w/ her) and tattletale had an unfortunate lapse in judgment.

3. Meow.

Sky pager.

Also, the yawning cat does not look like a Wolverine.

Wolvereens over Quakers any day of the week, bitches!

lol 35. first time here?

is EVILDOES a 2 or 3L? If so, that's gonna be awkward when classes resume.

Kash, I am a female, and I don't appreciate the "cat fighting" innuendo. What if these two retards were men?

michigan law is a horrible place. evildoer is a perfect example of the hellish people i deal with daily.

Then it would be cock fighting, 61.

I know Evil Doer and she is a very, very bad person. If I pointed out she's a minority, which she is, you'd call me racist.

Is Virginia Tech State Law School in Charlottesville the best of these three (the others being UPENN State and UMICH State)?

There were a few of these in my top 5 law school. Of course, I had the good sense not to loan them a cell phone (or in this case a vibrator)

64, you ARE a racist. What exactly was the point of "pointing out" that she is a minority if you weren't making some claim to its association with her behavior?

start URM acceptance commentary in 3... 2... 1...

lol well this is pretty ghetto, why doesn't Evildoer just have her sister pay off TTTletale instead of having her hold a check, which could be worthless judging by the trashiness of the situation at hand

Why didn't this dummy just report her phone as stolen and get a replacement with a new sim or whatever?

65

I believe you're talking about UVA...and yes, it is the best because they play Beamer ball.

Michigan is such a TTT. Those girls are PWT

-Alabama '06

What race is evildoer?

What race is tattletale?

45-
no ones cares where you went to law school loser.

does this foreign stuff implicate the Hague Convention or something? I took a class on it while I was at Michigan State Law (go Wolverines!) but didn't learn anything really.

45-
no ones cares where you went to law school loser.

no ones cares where you went to law school loser.

Ok, I know this is gonna be weird but how about bringing a little law into the comments section. 5 stars to the best argument for why evildoer has the right to cancel the check from her sister and keep the phone.

45-
no ones cares where you went to law school loser.

67 - YOU are a racist. What exactly is the point of "pointing out" that 64 pointed out that she is a minority if you weren't making some claim to the association of 64's behavior with his/her majority status?

I've finally made myself laugh out loud. Well done, old boy (not the racist "boy")

73:

45 went to Harvard. He doesn't care about rankings; he didn't even know that Michigan was T10. It's just that he's really, really smart. Which means that he isn't a loser -- quite the opposite. Plus he's really smart.

since when does the word "WHORE" have to written W****?

touche, 79, that was awesome.

-67

"69" - because there is a deductible (usually $40) that she probably does not want to pay

or daddy went there first.

83 - so she'd rather continue to finance the other girl's calling while roaming internationally? wait, you are the dummy.

38 -

It's law school, and I think it is a safe assumption. Most law students are white.

But 55 has pointed out that I am in error, and I am going to rely on this statement that the psycho is not white.

Knowing the error of my ways, I think the comments are even worse if the girl is black. There are numerous qualified black law applicants and practitioners, and it seems UM let this girl in on a reach (judging strictly by language and conduct). Hurts all black law students to have someone act this way...even though I don't think her race is the factor we should be considering. As other posters have stated, she may be mentally unstable in the first place.

"Dr. Michigan" seems like an annoying, self-righteous prick. [S]he should be severely beaten.

What does TTT mean? Also, I feel Tattletail's pain...those situations alway suck especially cause you feel stupid for trying to do something good...though it is a bit strange to lend a total stranger a phone

harvards are softees

EVILDOER is a minority but not an URM. Hope that helps.

evil is not urm in the admission sense of it.

ps.

since michigan listserve got two whole separate emails informing us of how awesomely famous we are now I assume everyone who isnt on digest is coming her asap? how soon till suggestive hints of who the two are finally reveal the names for those 5 of you non-michigan people who are still posting here. I say 20 posts.

EVILDOER posted an apology this morning regarding her regrettable language: "I am sorry for the language I used and because of that that you guys had to be involved in this argument." Don't be sorry for that - it's how we know you're a crazy-ass bitch.

She continues: "I really hope that in the future, law open gets used as a proper place for law students to communicate about different things that interest law students as opposed to trying to mediate personal squabbles between fellow law students." Again, don't try to stem the tide - this is fucking hilarious.

Finally: "In the future, I hope to keep you only positively entertained with my questions like "Where do we find doctors in rome?" or "What color blood do Vulcans have?" (I recently learned it was green)." Okay - STOP. No. No more dumbass questions. This much needs to end NOW. You and your retarded questions can go to hell and die.

86 - no dummy not true. i would think that she cancelled her plan and now is just fighting for the actual phone. if thats not the case, though, then you are correct

FIRST to say Smackdown Michigan is great. (S)he seems like the only normal person at the Cooley Law School at the University of Michigan State - Kalamzoo, save perhaps for sick-of-this-michigan.

Evaluating the tone of the emails as well some of the more truthful sounding comments, my hypothesis is:

TT probably had an extra cell phone without service that was lying around (as most people do when they upgrade to a new phone when the old is still functional) and responded to ED's request to borrow a phone on the listserve. This sounds like something a decent 3L human being would do for a 1L at his/her law school.

ED decides to hold onto the phone past her "few weeks" request and doesn't return the phone even though TT has requested the phone through 3-4 nice email requests. Then ED takes off for Rome for the summer without returning the phone.

Now TT wants to get her phone or its replacement value before she leaves Ann Arbor now that she doesn't need to study for the bar exam any longer (this sounds rational to me) and so asks more forcefully for her phone or replacement value. ED decides to cuss out TT for having the gall to say anything in strong terms (which ED deserved, and more) because ED "don't take no shit from nobody" because she's too damn good for that.

People like ED piss me off and its people like DR MICHIGAN who always make excuses for people like ED.

If you've ever had a woman stick her face 6 inches from yours (with a neck gyration for effect) while glaring and proclaiming "oh no you didn!" repeatedly, then you know what I mean.

91 -- Ameri-Asian or FOB?

87 = clarence thomas (affirmative action)

First, most of the people at Michigan are really nice. When I went there, I loaned people stuff, they loaned stuff to me, and nobody stole nothing.

Clearly, EVILDOER is atypical, and TATTLETALE had a lapse of judgment.

The Michigan posters sound about the same as average posters on an ATL thread.

whats FOB?

91 - only Asian in the British sense.

73:
awsome.

73:
awsome.

Piss on a Cat

101: free on board or fresh off the boat.

100: that's because, perhaps, ATL posters are Michigan students. Betcha didn't think about that, did ya?

Let's look at the silver lining of this cloud: at the very least, the OP didn't borrow a Ford Taurus or a non-negotiable financial instrument.

73, 75-76, 78:

Wow. I'm the loser? Stop projecting.

96: TITCR
And I agree that Dr. Michigan sounds like a douche.

When one goes through life, on learns that it does not pay to put your dirty laundry on the street, through email or otherwise.

Regardless of the legitimacy of your complaints, people in general will thin less of you for inflicting the situation on them.

In the context of this post, only a complete moron would loan a stranger a cell phone OR complain about it publicly later.

My advice: Cancel the phone, and chalk the entire experience up to your own poor judgment .

That said, could you loan me your car for just a day?

How about your Visa Card?

96 - If Obama ends affirmative action, does that mean that the Auto Admit posters will stop coming over here to carefully explain why they don't really like black people?

(PS I'm really sorry that lady scared you that time.)

109/45 - omfg you really arer a loser. thats what youcome back with. thats it folks it confirmed what everone already knows about harvard - they suck! and so does their lawyering!

93:
Great Comments! Thank you :)

Evildoer is South Asian? We need specifics: Bangladeshi, Indian, Nepali, Pakistani, or Sri Lankan.

113:

If only you were smart enough to see how ridiculous your post sounds. It's quite sad, really. Quite, quite sad. Meanwhile enjoy your "bright" future as a staff attorney.

Evildoer is Ferengi

Some kid's response (subject: "cell phone"):

The purpose of lawopen is to inform the law school COMMUNITY about matters that concern them. When someone wishes to borrow a cell phone, it is appropriate to announce the interest. However, once the cell phone has been borrowed, the details of the transaction and anything that happens thereafter are of no interest to people who are not parties to the transaction. This is especially true given the fact that the borrower had put down a $120 security deposit and promised to return the phone as soon as she was in the same location as the cell phone. While the borrower may have been negligent in failing to return the cell phone before leaving the country, it is not appropriate to announce this to the law school community. Rather, the dispute should be settled by depositing the security deposit check and closing the issue.

She can't be Ferengi. That's not an URM.

To 112: I know you're racist, but that is your problem, not mine. If my post reads like a description of black women to you, then you're the one with racial stereotypes. And I guess its unfortunate if alot of people picture black women as they read my post, but I'm not politically sensitive correct to change the facts.

I've had white and black women be rude in that manner to me at my high school job in a not-so-great neighborhood. And I've known plenty of crazy ghetto Asian women as well.

Another hypothesis - you sound black and I say this because one thing I have noticed is that black people tend to more vocally proclaim "racism" than any other. Asian and Hispanic people generally don't have much voice in this country and they don't have people like Jackson and Sharpton (total blowhards by the way) creating a frenzy of sensitivity.

"I'm not going to lecture you about how this is no way to treat a law school class mate and definately no way to start making your reputation in the legal community -- hopefully you realize all that. "

Exceedingly lame. Either make a threat or don't.

marry me?

"Tattletale" is a really nice girl. It's a shame this happened.

118: Someone responded to that guy's lecturing email with this:

"WOW. This reads like a barbri model answer--I'll give 1-1/2 for stating the rule, and 2 1/3 for your cogent analysis. [Lecturer], you're good. Real good."

That's some pretty high quality stock they're turning out over there, eh?

Kash,
marry me?

125:

I agree. Tattletale is a really nice girl. It's only a shame if the publicity embarrasses TT, Evildoer richly deserves it.

-126

I'm an alum who still gets lawopen just for kicks, and I'm loving how Evildoer is taking it on the chin. For all of the emails she's sent over the past year, she deserves every bit of this.

It really sounds like Tattletale was just being a decent human being who made one mistake.

I have decided that my law school is in dire need of lawopen, if only for such great entertainment

...Why so serious?

-Joker

TATTLETALE did the school a great service. EVILDOER is a crazy crazy who treats lawopen like her personal concierge. TATTLETALE has spared others from EVILDOER's craziness in future transactions. Usually, I'm embarrassed for everyone involved in something like this, but EVILDOER is the single most unbalanced individual I've ever met in my life.

Maybe EVILDOER was not justified in calling her a bitch before this exchange happened, however through her actions, TATTLETALE has proved to the world that the words bequethed to her by EVILDOER were justified.
