.What ever happened to holding people responsible for being stupid. When did it start becoming ((fill in the blank)) coffee shop for you burning your tongue on your coffee
Whatever happened to holding people responsible for fact checking before they post? :) You *do* realize that the woman in the McDonald's case got *third degree* burns and required skin grafts, right? Water at 180F is hot enough to burn you - we even have a word for it: scalding. And unlike sipping too-hot coffee, where you can spit it out quickly, hot water spilled on clothing continues to burn until the clothing is removed or cooled off - neither of which is feasible when you're elderly and seated in a car. And that she originally only sued for the cost of her medical bills, and the jury increased it with punitive damages when presented evidence that over 700 other people had received burns? Now go and get informed, and commit this sin no more :) https://www.caoc.org/?pg=facts - how that lawsuit *actually* played out.
