The reason McDonalds has "CAUTION: HOT!!" written in about 5 places on their coffee cups now was a result of that lawsuit they lost from the lady who spilt hot coffee all over herself a while back. She sued them for god knows what, and WON. I still can't get over the fact that she WON.

I don't know if you have heard of this, but there was a person who was using a toilet at a Starbucks somewhere in the US, and he... uhm... 'accidentally' jammed his thing in the toilet seat (yes, I have no friggin' clue how this would happen either)... so anyway, his doctor said irreparable damage was done and he ended up suing Starbucks for physical pain and mental damage... Yes, SUED THEM.

Next time you have guests over at your house, be sure to get them to sign a waver before they take a piss... you can never really be too sure, you know.

I am so tired of these stupid idiots... and I don't want to slander the US or anything, but it seems like the US has more than it's fair share of morons.

(Fun fact- The USA makes up about 5\% of the worlds population, but approximately 65\% of all the laywers in the world can be found within US borders... that should tell you something.)

Actually, McDonald's appealed, and they won, reducing her settlement from an insane Ū million to a rather petty บ,000 or so.

No kidding. If I go to the grocery store, buy a whole watermelon, try to swallow it whole, and choke to death in the process, is it the grocery stores' fault that I am fucking stupid? I think not.

And if you're trying to do this at the age of like 12, and your mommy doesn't tell you not to do it, it's not the store's fault either. All laws like this do is have the government play parent instead of parents taking the time to do it themselves.

From what I heard about the McDonalds coffee lawsuit, the woman orded coffee at the drive-thru, and, while driving, placed the fragile styrofoam cup BETWEEN HER LEGS! I don't think McDonalds should have to pay her anything.
