Plaintiff filed, amongst others, actions for negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress against the defendant water company and its employees, after two employees accused him of stealing water from a hydrant they were servicing. Court held: (1) that the negligent infliction of emotional distress claims were time barred as the action was brought more than two years from the date the injury was discovered; and (2) that the intentional infliction of emotional distress claims fail because accusing one of stealing water “rudely” and “aggressively” is not extreme and outrageous.
