I’ve had fake-helicopter parents (who were lawyers of the ambulance chasing variety,) insist that we (I,) was discriminating against his son because he was black.

The kid kept calling in asking questions like “I don’t understand this form” and “what do I put in this box” for the cover letter sheet.

Sometimes there’s some confusion where English isn’t their first language, so I’m happy to help. But not knowing what goes into the name box… or date of birth…

Yeah. No. His dad decided to start a lawsuit. I remember our lawyers playing back the judge’s decision for me. They opened up with a motion to dismiss citing one of the phone calls, and that being able to read and write/type English is a requirement.

Judges reply?

“Yeah, so whats your hourly rate?” (He made the plaintif- or rather his dad- pay for it.)
