We were out on a school retreat this weekend. Everyone in this story is 18 if that's relevant.
My buddy has long hair that he wanted to cut. He's been growing it out for a while and it's basically his signature. As a prank, we decided to come up behind him and cut his hair off and make everyone think he wasn't in on it.
He was wearing a blue flannel and so was a girl on the trip. I cut the wrog person's hair. I realized as soon as I closed the scissors, but a chunk of hair was gone right up to her scalp, probably about a foot and a half long.
She cried a lot, but when she parted her hair on the side you couldn't tell. She went to a fancy salon and got it fixed with extensions or something and apparently it cost like $200 even though you could barely see the difference when she parted her hair.
Today I heard from a lot of people at school that her parents made a police report and that she's going to sue me for almost $1k. Can they really do this!? How much trouble will I get in? I'd be willing to pay for her initial haircut (even though it apparently cost like $200 which seems outrageous) but I think she's being ridiculous. She looks fine and honestly she'd look cute if she just cut it all off anyway. Should I get a lawyer?

Not to call OP a liar, but I would bet a few dollars on he and his buddies thinking it would be oh so funny to cut her hair and now he's trying to cover. He's just not very smart and his cover story isn't that great either.

I saw that this morning and was irate on behalf of the girl. A foot and a half of hair takes a long time to grow, and this asshole says:
He's trying to dodge responsibility at every single point. It was a mistake. It wasn't so bad. She's overreacting. You don't get to decide how someone feels about their own appearance.

I’m with LA commenters that are a little skeptical. “This guy couldn’t tell the difference between his buddy and a random girl?” “Why do I think alcohol was involved” Honestly sounds the most plausible theory. At camp, plan a prank, drink some shots, commit minor assault.
