Frivolous...may get paid!

This reminds me of something I heard recently in the news, about a woman who was late 47 times in a year to her job.

Fired!

She sued for discrimination, and was rewarded 11 miilion.

Good times!

No, I would have caught it. Right @Biergott ?

Something strange about these facts. I looked up the box score and only inning that ended with a fly out to the outfield was top of the third to Ward.

This dude is about to lose! Signs clearly posted everywhere and gross negligence doesn’t apply.

Marcereau said then Angels outfielder, Juan Lagares, one of the defendants named in the complaint, was behind the throw into the crowd during a warm up.

One ball hit to Lagares, a first inning single.

It was a between innings warm up. Had nothing to do with a play on the field.

Do you guys know why they put “no diving” signs on those little foot-deep kiddie pools? Not because people are stupid enough to dive into them - that will happen regardless. But because 12 random people fulfilling their constitutional duty were stupid enough to buy the argument “my client wouldn’t have dove into the pool and broke his neck if there was a label warning him of the danger in doing so.”

Yep. Like the old lady that thought it would be smart to put hot coffee between her legs in a car and thinks it’s McDonald’s fault

[Blarg]

You missed out on the details of the McDonalds lawsuit. It had to do with the scalding temperature they held the coffee at. They ended up adjusting all of their coffee machines that were set between 180-190°, well above the industry recommended serving temperature of 160°.

I remember when I worked there and read the manager's manual it was in print to set the coffee at 190° for optimal flavor. Now you have to special order at Starbucks to get your coffee brewed at 180° so the grounds are completely extracted.

Mermelstein.  Ha!

I’m just surprised that is the plaintiffs name and not the lawyer.

[The Dude]

I actually just heard about this from a friend a couple days ago. F'n stupid, it's not like Lagares was trying to blind this fool. Pay attention while at a game, not that hard.

I learned recently that the popular narrative around this case is wrong.

You’d think that if MacDonalds was getting sued for something being too hot it would be some kid his mouth melted on one of those molten lava apple pies

I liked those pies better than a Danish with golden arches HOT coffee.

Yeah, I actually had a lecture on that case from the judge who heard it. Was pretty interesting.
