When I realizes just how stupid people are in groups. IQ is inversely proportionate to the number of people in a group.
I was just about to say that.Ultrajoe said:Around about the time when people got together and told stories about losing their faith in humanity.
She apparently did according to the article I read some time ago. I am aware the lid was not the proper fit however still the idea of holding hot (not matter the degress) between your legs while in a car is generally a risky idea. The suing was more justified however the moment I lost faith is when she was initially awarded that $2.9 million because frankly it was only done to punish McDonald's and worst yet, it would start a huge outcry of lawsuits from other people.wordsmith said:Right... Shall we get the story straight?Bourne said:- When a woman sued McDonald's for spilling hot coffee on herself because she attempted to hold the cup between her legs in a car, and won a seven figure judgment that was later overturned to low six figures or some such.

She did NOT get that money for attempting to hold the cup between her legs. MacDonalds gave her a cup of coffee that was 1) 5 degrees too hot and 2) the lid did not fit the cup (which IS a health and safety breach). She suffered burns that required skin grafts to fix, and she spent three weeks unable to walk, and THIS is what she got awarded the $2.9 million for. She originally was going to settle for $10,000, but McD's refused and so the judge upped the fine to the profits of McDonalds coffee for one day. She then settled for $89,000 in an out of court settlement.
So yeah... When did I lose my faith? Around the time when people began to leap to conclusions because "everyone knows it's true".
