    Employee spills water on coworker’s laptop during lunch, refuses to pay them back after discovering it is ruined, coworker considers reporting it to boss: ‘I can’t afford a new laptop’

    If we were the judges, it would be one of those cases that keep us up at night. The type of dilemma that makes you sigh and mutter, "I need a jury for this one." We all know the location of a crime is not only a strong defining factor - "don't walk here at night", or "you should avoid those areas during lunch break."  But when you mix location with timing? That's when things get murky. Unpredictable. Almost criminal. Heightened emotions begin to enter the frame and the real courtroom-clenching question is no longer avoidable: who is responsible? 

    Was this a tragedy that was solely based on where the electronic baptism took place? or was it timing that sealed its soggy fate?

    Let us paint the picture - An Emergency Medical Service worker (EMS)—yes, a job revolving around the heroic act of saving lives—was called to action. In a high-pressure moment, the worker placed their laptop in a communal dining area (cue ominous music). When they returned, the case had been planted: the laptop, a victim of water damage. No witnesses. No confessions. Just silence and spilled mystery.
