Woman hit using google direction by foot.

Maybe Google should include "Lift your eyes from your cell phone and look around for approaching cars before taking this step" before each step of their walking directions.

Its not googles fault she downloaded the frogger app....


@ the Coffee situation..

I have trouble judging that one.. I mean really... On one hand we all know coffee is hot.. On the other hand.. I've barely been able to hold coffee before it was so hot.. So Without knowing exactly how that played out I can't really judge..

I believe this is why she was ruled partially responsible, although she still ultimately got compensation because it was found to be mainly McDonald's fault for having coffee that was too hot for consumption.

See, I don't believe it WAS too hot for consumption. It may take a moment to cool down, but I don't think that makes it too hot for consumption.

That being said... it's my opinion...

I read an article stating that even Mcdonalds admitting to the coffee being kept "hotter than necessary for optimum flavor"

However, with that said.. I will never wear sweat pants again.

The documents related to this case are available to the public, as I recall the judge awarded her the money as a punitive ruling because McDonalds was told to turn down temp before and failed to comply. Correct me if I am wrong, it's been a while.
 
She SHOULD have won the Darwin award. What a freaking moron. I wonder if she stabs herself in the eye with a steak knife just because there's no warning label. Sheeeeeesh. There's just no cure for stupid.

Have you ever heard "I'll Sue Ya" by Weird Al?
 
This problem has a very simple solution though. Just remove the warning labels from EVERYTHING and in less than a year we won't have to worry about these people anymore...

People seem to always use this lawsuit as an example of a frivolous one when it really isn't. The coffee was proven to be much hotter than needed and in that particular year, McDonald's received complaints that their coffee was much too hot. The poor woman needed skin grafts proving that the coffee was way too hot. Ever spilled coffee on yourself? The most one should get is momentary pain, not hospitalization and skin grafts around one's genitals.

Yeah, a better example would be of the lady who's husband worked in a shop of some sort and a co-worker accidentally cut his finger off. so the husband took the finger to his wife and she slipped it into her chili at wendy's and then turned around to sue them for it...
