I went scouting the local garage sales this past weekend. I finally found one I liked and the woman says it is not for sale.
Also I would like to know if I can add assult and battery to the suit as the woman who was having the "garage sale" punched me when I said "Well if you are not selling your garage, why didn't you list it in the paper as a "Garbage Sale"?"

Are you sure the woman didn't punch you for
"Attempted Humor in the First Degree"?
If that's the case, then her actions were definitely "justifiable",
and you don't have a garage, case, or leg to stand on.
As for the alleged "assAult and battery",
you should also be arrested for
"Mangling the English Language in the Third Degree",
punishable by having to ingest pepper for the "assault",
and getting your battery "discharged".
Also consider seeing your physician
to have your "funny bone" examined,
and have it stimulated with a swift kick to the coccyx.
Please also consider reducing the number, type, and level
of psychotropic drugs you are taking,
as they have made you exceedingly delirious.
Repeat after me: "I am not funny . . . I am not funny . . ."

You can't sue anyone for anything unless you've been harmed in some way. That's the whole point of litigation, you seek compensation for a wrong committed against you. So if you believed their claim, bought their gum only because you expected it to last billions of years, then chewed it until it dissolved, maybe you could send them a letter asking them to refund you the price of the gum. If you did sue them, it could only be for the cost of a packet of gum. If you just think their ad is misleading, but it hasn't harmed you, then you should contact the body responsible for the administration of television advertising in your area, and (if you weren't being silly) they could remove the ad and/or make the company publicly explain that their gum doesn't last that long. Incidentally, the time 'it took to create the universe' isn't the same thing as the age of the universe. You could say that the universe existed a nanosecond after the big bang, so their gum only needs to last a moment to last longer than it took to create the universe.

Here's what I found out - I tried to sue about a year ago for the same thing... we had just bought a new house and it desperately needed landscaping so I found some yard sales advertised in the paper and we went looking. I found one we liked and made an offer...only to be told that it wasn't for sale. there was no assault, but it was clearly false advertising. I called every lawyer and no one would take the case... but that was in the US, so things might be different for you! Good luck and let me know how it turns out.
P.S. Now, I drive around and make sure to tell people walking up to the various yard sales in my neighborhood not to be fooled... The yards aren't for sale. No one has thanksed me yet, but I'm sure they all appreciate the effort

I think that you need a good cold shower, if you had taken your mum or a carer with you then this situation would not have arisen, in future do not go out on your own ok

I had a similar situation with a yard sale. It had purty green grass and everything.
I came back and took it when she wasn't home

study martial arts - they teach you to read body language so that you anticipate the blow and block it - countering with a killing blow of your own, then the garage could have been yours. sheese -- another one bites the dust.

if this is a serious question, then you deserve a serious answer:
Of course you have legal recourse to someone who punched you simply because you said something they didn't like.
Call the cops!!

And when you're finished you can sue Gap for not selling "gaps" and American Eagle because they aren't selling birds!
