Didn’t she read the WARNING LABEL? I can’t get a cup of hot coffee to go without a big warning on the cup telling me the contents are hot!
No Sherlock.
And she’ll name the car manufacturer for having an unsafe coffee cup tray holder.
I think she should have her driver’s license suspended for reckless driving and her tubes tied for polluting the gene pool with greed and stupidity.
$10M for a cup of coffee? That’s turning a single item into a happy meal.
At the Monon Cafe - Greencastle, where they make dynamite bisquits and gravy, the waitress leaned in to pour the coffee, the male customer reached around and felt her posterior. This caused her to pour coffee on his “lap”. An accident.
No lawsuit. I ‘spect he knew we’d laugh his ass out of Court.
Hot coffee in the lap? Bwahahahaha. Sorry, but some people are terminally stupid and this woman sounds like she rates around a 10 on life’s stupid meter.
The opposite. It was deliberate when the male jerk felt her ass.
Comment was about the original woman and her stupidity. The woman who was felt up by the customer, should have forked him-embedded a fork in the @sshole’s forehead, then dumped the coffee in his lap. Waitresses don’t make enough to have to put up with @ssholes like him. Would have left a rather interesting set of scars though....
If the cups weren’t kitty corner why didn’t SHE move them and check the lids before pulling away?
She was too busy to take 5 seconds out of her day?
As a former fast foodie I’m loaded with scars from hot coffee and the like.
If I had been able to sue every time I got burned-I got several serious second degree burns over the years-I’d be living in clover now.
Whatever happened to the concept of “contributory negligence?” or is this just in English law?
The shysters that pursue these bogus claims should be flogged naked through the streets as an example to stupid people.
LBJ: Unbelieveably, we do have some sensible tort laws on the books. For example, your “contributory negligence” and “last clear chance to avoid” the accident or hazzard looming in front of you. I was on a Civil jury once; we were permitted to apportion a percentage of responibility to the Plaintiff and Defendant respectively. We just never read about the sensible outcomes.
Ignore us, OCM, it’s just boring ‘grown-up’ talk.
