Over My Dead Body
I represent clients before the IRS. Had a couple who owed around $250,000 in back taxes. We had no defense, so the only thing to do was have the clients meet with the IRS and plead for leniency.
Well, the wife got arrogant with the IRS agent, and at one point stood up and screamed at the IRS agent (who was a pretty decent person, making a very middle class wage) “you’ll take away my Mercedes over my dead body!” Then she stormed out of the conference room.
Needless to say, she lost the Mercedes.
