Why are lawyers despised?

Just in case you've forgotten why lawyers are held in such low esteem, here is a reminder. Tim Hortons Restaurant chain had a promotion where certain coffee cups would reveal a prize winner. Most cups said "try again." Some cups awarded small prizes like another cup of coffee. The cup matching the grand prize was dug out of the trash by a 10 year old kid. Now there is a lawyer pushing for DNA testing on the cup to prove his client is the rightful owner of the winning cup. Guess what? Even if it was his cup, your client gave up ownership when he put it in the trash. Any 10 year old kid could tell you that.

In a more perfect world, the client and the lawyer would be charged with attempted theft.
