Litigious Much?

Woman Sues Kmart Over Toilet Paper Tax
A woman has sued Kmart for allegedly collecting a 7 percent state sales tax on a nontaxable item: a 12-pack of toilet tissue. Mary Bach alleges a Kmart department store in the Pittsburgh suburb of Monroeville improperly collected the tax on the $3.99 item, charging her $4.27—or 28 cents too much.
If I were the judge I would award her 28 cents. Then I would fine her 28 cents and lock her up for 28 days for wasting the court's time.
