Ohh. So it wasn’t actually a cup malfunction? It was because she crushed the cup. Kind of makes you wonder how people come to these conclusions that things are someone else’s fault. Its like “Shit, I just spilled coffee all over myself” “Its McDonalds fault.”

10 men vs a pack of 10 wolves…[/quote]
If one of the men has a cup of McDonalds coffee I think we know who wins. Flimsy paper cup full of whoop a wolfs ass.
If we have to scald a pack of wolves can we do it in Montana. Push would be happy with us.
So against 10 wolves, I would use the vintage era McDonald’s coffee with the leaky styrofoam as an initial ‘flash-bang’ attack to disorient… Then, with the Mark 2 model I would strategically go for the Alpha Male to scare off the remaining pack…

McDonald’s coffee all day long. Not unless grannies have old school Chastity belts on. Then all bets are off.

You may not know this, but years back there were some epic threads on this very subject.
Pretty sure someone got stabbed with a trident over it.

Hopefully someone in the field can chime in here since my knowlegde on this is second hand. It was my understanding that regardless of waivers etc, getting hurt on site allows the employee to qualify for workman’s comp and opens the door for negligence lawsuits.
We are talking about a country where an 80 year old woman can sue for spilling coffee on her crotch for millions despite no 80 year old crotch being worth that much. [/quote]
If its covered by workers’ comp., negligence suits against an employer are barred. Workers’ comp. is a no-fault system with limited damages and limited defenses.
You also ought to read up of the facts of the coffee case before repeating a bunch of bullshit about it.

What part of what I said was inacurate? She was 79(i said 80 sorry), she spilled coffee on her crotch. She recieved millions of dollars in punative damages. No 80 year old crotch is worth millions of dollars. [/quote]
She didn’t get “millions” or even “a million” and the “punitive” award isn’t “compensation” it is punishment for reckless behavior, which the evidence in the case easily supported. So the value of her “old [third-degree-burned] crotch” is largely irrelevant to this aspect of the judgment.[/quote]
But it’s completely relevant to my casual one-liner that you are in a sense heckling. [/quote]
So, are people supposed to ignore it when someone repeats falsehoods about a person that almost got screwed by a multibillion dollar company, and especially casts aspersions on such companies being punished for trying to screw over helpless old ladies (for sums that barely register to the company, no less)?[/quote]
“Almost got screwed…” ALMOST is the operative word. Are you by any chance related to the “victim”?
