I can lend you my mother if you like. She generally threatens people with lawsuits and makes things happen, which I am in awe of.

I'm not even kidding. One time she threatened to sue the local bus company for embezzling money because the bus was too full to pick my sister and I up for school one day. It never happened again and the dumb bus company didn't even realise you can't litigate criminal actions like that.
