Every year thousands of doll smell their cheek on the glass walls of Apple Stores , and it ’s very sad . But have you everconsidered the nan ? An 83 - class - old pelt magnate walked font - first into an Apple Store door . She ’s now litigate for $ 1,000,000 .
On December 13th of last class , Evelyn Paswall , formerly one of Manhattan ’s top Russian sable pelt dealers , approached the Apple store in Manhasset on Long Island ( pictured above ) . But her approach was stopped brusk by , y’know , the room access . She walk present first into it , breaking her nose . So now she ’s suing Apple for a million clam . agree to her lawyer , a Mr. Derek T. Smith :
Apple want to be cool and modern and have the type of architecture that would appeal to the technical school crowd , but on the other manus , they have to appreciate the danger that this high - tech innovative computer architecture poses to some masses .
gamy - tech ? On the one hand , glass has been around since 3,500 B.C. On the other , who has n’t walked into a glassful threshold ? You have to finger for Ms. Paswall . perchance not a million sawhorse deserving of feeling , but still , it sucks to break-dance your nose .
Apparently , there are now white markings on the doors at the Manhasset depot , though it is n’t clear whether they were there on the twenty-four hours of the incident . “ There were no marking on the glass or they were poor , ” her attorney say . “ My client is an octogenarian . She sees well , but she did not see any glass . ”
I do n’t want to sound unappealing , but I think it ’s secure to say that the Modern iPad ’s retina showing would be totally wasted on her . [ NY Post ]
UDPATE : Well , lookie here . It sure enough looks like those windowpane - marking were well in place back in October when Steve Jobs slip by away ( Ms. Paswall ’s little running - in come about in December ) . Thanks to commenterRobNYCfor the tip . range of a function viaEEbeat .
