Marie D’Argent of Melbourne, Australia is suing her apartment complex and Thyssenkrupp Elevator Australia, after the elevator she was taking last October unexpectedly dropped three floors and then “jolted down” every other floor to the lobby. D’Argent survived, but her sex life was DOA:
In a statement of claim filed recently in the County Court, Ms D’Argent, 55, said she had suffered vertebral disc trauma, whiplash and nightmares from the October 9 incident.
But she also claims the fall left her with a “loss of libido”, “sexual discomfort and impairment” and “curtailment of sexual adventurism”.
And D’Argent’s claiming the loss of something even more important than the physical ability to have sex:
“It’s a matter of losing your mojo,” Ms D’Argent said yesterday. “Everybody would know your back plays a big part in your sexual life.”
D’Argent told the Herald Sun that she hopes to be rewarded for all her pain and suffering, but but the elevator manufacturer’s lawyer has stated that the company plans to defend against D’Argent’s claims. How they’ll prove they had nothing to do with the loss of D’Argent’s libido is anyone’s guess.
