OT: Moron Sues Over Roof Jumping

Atrocities · #1 March 7th, 2005, 08:54 AM

OMG! 293 people actually think that its the Garages fault and that the garage should be held responsible. Well I guess we know of 293 people who should never be allowed out into public again. (No offense, but they are all most likely trial injury lawyers.)

No, of course not, its not like jumping across roofs which are over 80feet in the air is a danger now is it?

I agree with AT about the natural event comment

Someone got a million dollars off of McDonald's for phyisical and emotional pain when the coffee burnt their tounge. People do some really stupid things... Coffee is supposed to be hot!

She actually spilled the coffee over her private area.She was driving away with it squeezed between her legs trying to open it up,makes her even stupider.At the time I was managing a fast food joint I vividly remember testing the temp of our coffee and adjusting the temp down so one of the local retards wouldn't try to do the same thing just so they could sue us.I hate cold coffee....I never drank it at work again.

We actually were sued by another woman who's child was injured in our play area. The whole thing is covered in thick padding her little brat got a good long run right into one of the sides of the da*ed thing.Split his forehead open .Wanted 10,000.00 incase he ever needed plastic surgery. We won ,but only because we could prove that she had been reading the newspaper while he ran around the dinning room and then into the side of the play area. What if he had run into one of our walls instead....would she have argued that we shouldn't have had walls everywhere ....just made me sick.

Interesting case, the woman in question got coffee that was 180 degrees Farenheit from a McDonalds, which spilled in her lap while driving and gave her 3rd degree burns. Now of course one should not be driving, but the thought is why would you give someone coffee THAT hot?

This just proves that even smart people sometimes don't have all the facts. You should research this story more and when you do you will find that this lady was hurt through the neglect of McDonalds and deserved every cent she got.

I agree that people should take the time to read the facts. Another McFact is that her case was successfully appealed by McD and her settlement was lowered to less than $500K.

I'm sorry if you take a cup of coffee that says on it caution contents are hot , stick it between your legs and try to take the lid off as you drive you are 100% at fault not 20 % as the jury found.When this all happened the coffee we served was 170F the coffee from McDonalds was 180F we lowered ours to 130F if you were drinking it right then and there that would be fine but if you are taking it somewhere to drink...as she should have been 130F would be luke warm by the time you got there.
If you sit at home and drink yourself into a stupor then decide to go for a little drive wreck your car and lose both your legs do you then sue the company that brews your favorite beer?Come on surely the company that brews your beer knows that if you drink enough of their product you and possibly others are going to get hurt.Thus they should begin to make nothing but non alcholic beer at once.I could honestly find more reason to hold your beer company at fault than McDonalds because your favorite beer is guaranteed to make you act stupid.
It isn't that I feel no sympathy for the woman who burned herself but , it's time that people stop blaming everyone else for their problems or mistakes.She should have been charged with failing to properly control her vehicle because if she was fiddiling with her coffee lid she wasn't giving her full attention to driving.
Oh I almost forgot about all the cell phone companies we know that their product is causing accidents everyday , guess it's time for someone to sue them too.
