Woman gets caught cheating on her husband--and sues the phone company

...and be sure your sin will find you out. Numbers 32:23b

Another example of someone refusing to take responsibility for her own sin, as reported by The Toronto Star:

A Toronto woman says the billing practices of Rogers Wireless Inc. led to her husband discovering her extramarital affair.

Now the woman, whose husband walked out, is suing the communications giant for $600,000 for alleged invasion of privacy and breach of contract, the results of which she says have ruined her life.

In 2007, Gabriella Nagy had a cellphone account with Rogers which sent the monthly bill to her home address in her maiden name. Her husband was the account holder for the family's cable TV service at the same address. Around June 4, 2007, he called Rogers to add internet and home phone.

The following month, Rogers mailed a "global" invoice for all of its services to the matrimonial home that included an itemized bill for Nagy's cellular service, according to the statement of claim filed in Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

When Nagy’s husband opened the Rogers invoice, he saw several hour-long phone calls to a single phone number.

"Nobody does business this way and he's not stupid," says Nagy, who is in her 30s. He called the number, spoke to the "third party" who confirmed the affair, which had lasted only a few weeks, Nagy told the Star.

"My husband didn't tell me that's how he found out, he just left."

"The husband used the previously private and confidential information that the defendant unilaterally disclosed to the husband to inquire about the people that the plaintiff was telephoning and the nature of such calls," the statement of claim says.

The statement alleges Rogers "unilaterally terminated its cellular contract with the plaintiff that had been in her maiden name and included it in the husband’s account that was under his surname.

  1. OK, so she cheated, gets caught and its someone else’s fault. Always the way with cheaters. As the old saying goes “You dance you pay the fiddler.” Here is what cheaters commonly say and what they really mean. (IMHO) Sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you and that really means – You wasn’t supposed to find out / I wasn’t supposed to get caught. It isn’t what you think means – Just believe what I tell you, no matter what / Don’t believe your eyes or evidence. I just made a (legitimate?) mistake means – I don’t have a brain, so I don’t know right from wrong / I conveniently and temporarily forgot I was married. Cheaters are the worse kind of mean selfish cowards. Good for Rogers and Good for Hubby!
