Ben Edelman, Harvard Business School Professor, Goes to War Over $4 Worth of Chinese Food

And this is why people hate lawyers and Harvard grads: Edelman was charged more -- a grand total of $4 -- for Chinese takeout than the prices listed on the online menu, demanded triple damages, and suggested he would report the restaurant to the proper authorities. boston.com reports that this isn't the first time Edelman has gone all lawyerly on a restaurant: In 2010, he took on a sushi restaurant for not interpreting a Groupon deal as generously as he did. The sushi restaurant fired back by threatening to call the cops to escort him out as a trespasser if he ever set foot in the place again.
