From Tongue Tied. Wouldn't it have been cheaper to get him some elevator shoes, or stilts, or something?
A court in Norway has ruled that the government must pay for a short man’s car because he is afraid of being teased when riding public transportation, reports the Aftenposten newspaper.
The 22-year-old man, who is 4’2” high, said he has had anxiety attacks at the thought of riding the bus ever since he was bullied as a young boy on the school bus.
Government officials initially said that was his problem, but a special social welfare court ruled that society shouldn't expose him to the psychological burden of riding the bus.
