Sigh.

Reminds me of how my 5-yr old nephew acts when he doesn't get the toy he wants, when he wants it. I guess the difference it- he'll grow up.

If you're going to correct other people's posts, at least get it right:

She was a passenger in the car, driven be her grandson.
McDonalds didnt "drop it in her lap"!
She was holding the coffee (presumable handed to her by her grandson) and he pulled the car forward and stopped. The woman balanced the coffee cup between her legs and pulled off the lid so she could add cream/sugar. In doing so - SHE spilt the coffee all over herself. Since she was wearing sweatpants, it soaked in and sat there against her skin for a period of time.

McDonalds perhaps DID screw up strategically in not accepting the first offer of $20K to settle the case.

Was it frivolous? I think so- but who cares.

Obviously the warning of "hot" was insufficient. They probably should have written "Hey lady, if you're wearing sweatpants, dont try to squeeze this $0.02 Styrofoam cup between your legs and perform complex actions, it might spill" on the cup.

And people should be careful when they balance near-boiling water between their legs!

Listen, I can have compassion for the lady's accident without looking for someone to blame.... because thats what is was, HER ACCIDENT.

To me, this isnt too far removed from someone stabbing themselves with a steak knife at Ruth Chris, they suing the restaurant for putting such a sharp knife near their hands!

Anyways, I know this is off topic, but its more interesting than the umpteenth whiny complaint from the "didnt-get-my-shiny-toy-so-im-gonna-sue-you" crowd.
