[17] Given the very strict standard of liability imposed by our District of Columbia case law, we decline to follow the cases from other jurisdictions, cited to us by Fernandez, which have found liability for intentional infliction of emotional distress on somewhat similar facts. E.g., Simon v. Solomon, 385 Mass. 91, 96, 431 N.E.2d 556, 562 (1982); Hilder v. St. Peter, 144 Vt. 150, 160, 478 A.2d 202, 209 (1984).
