8. Would You Like Milk and Cookies, Too?

In an effort to avoid arrest after being suspected of murder in 2009, Jesse Dimmick went on the run with police following close behind. He ended up crashing two stolen cars and then decided to take newlyweds Jared and Lindsay Rowley hostage.

The Rowleys treated Dimmick as they would any guest, offering him refreshments along with pillows and a blanket and the group settled in and watched movies.

When Dimmick nodded off to sleep the Rowleys escaped and called police. He was arrested, but not before there was a scuffle and he was shot.

The Rowleys then decided to sue Dimmick for $75,000 for the stress brought on by the home invasion and being held hostage.

In return Dimmick, who was probably thinking he was having a real "gotcha" moment, decided to counter sue the Rowleys for $235,000 for breach of contract and to help pay medical bills after he was shot on their property.

He wrote, "I, the defendant, asked the Rowleys to hide me because I feared for my life. I offered the Rowleys an unspecified amount of money which they agreed upon, therefore forging a legally binding oral contract."

Amazingly the Rowleys had to turn to a judge in order to get the lawsuit dismissed.
