Hey Kids! It's frivolous lawsuit time!

My favourite will always be the woman who put her RV motorhome on cruise control and left the driver's seat to go into the back to make breakfast. Needless to say she sued for the resulting accident. I suppose she was thinking "autopilot"...if she was thinking at all, that is.

Although it might be hard to believe, she won!

I'm gonna sue the OP for the time I wasted clicking on this thread.
I'm gonna file a class action suit on your behalf and that of everyone else on this thread. I'll get 2/3rds of the money and all the rest of you can fight over the scraps.

well, we'll sue you on our behalf of sueing on our behalf, and accidentally drop some hot coffee on your lap while we put our RV on cruise control and all go to the back to mediate our litagation with you.
 
....first thing we do is kill all the lawyers <------who said that?

In the version I heard Bigfoot was driving the RV. So.. is that still urban myth? Cause I always loved that story.. lol
 
Actually some lawsuits are not so frivolous. I would like to see more of the greek yogurt lawsuits for example. Blueberry muffins without blueberries, fruit cereals without fruit, fruit juices with no fruit, and some "spreads" contain all chemicals and none of the items on the label. All power to anyone who sues to support truth in labeling and advertising products.

Taking on payday loans is also a great idea. Criminal high interest rates are NOT in anyone's interest but organized crime which is highly involved in some of these operations. Perhaps bank loans should be taken on as well.

Simple, don't apply for them with horrendous credit or at all.

No, my lawyer was outstanding in a 5 year case. He only invoiced me $500,000

Easy for us to say, but not so easy for the less fortunate making minimum wage.
 
This kinda' thing makes me wanna got to McDonald's and get a drive-through coffee and thens spill it all over myself and then sue Mickey Dee's for like a billion dollars...

She actually sued for like $10K to cover her medical expenses, was only offered $800 to settle, and then they got $500,000 (after all was said and done) out of the deal through the courts.

McD was selling coffee that was much hotter than any other company out there and it would not have resulted in such burns if they weren't serving 180-190°F coffee but 150-160°F coffee like the rest of the industry. That temperature can cause third degree burns in about 10 seconds.

McD also ignored hundreds of other similar suits before this one, and it was the jury that awarded the huge million dollar payment, which was 2 days worth of profit from coffee sales; the judge later lowered to about 500K.

so, think twice...
It doesn't seem so frivolous when you know the facts...

Umm actually I can since I grew up simple, and been in that situation more than once. It's more or less selling your soul to the devil.

I'm not going to start a debate, and I'm all for in increased living wages. but IMO most minimum wage jobs out there are not meant to be long-term careers.
