Boy it's hot out. Better sit on this jet black bench in the sun with no pants on, apparently.

[jus'_crAzy]

3rd degree burns from a bench.

... I give up.

[gilgamesh]

"Hot when sunny" will now need to be put up on every black bench from how on. Sounds ridiculous, until I realized we have a sign for "Slippery when wet".

Its truly sad nowadays.

'Somebody else' has to responsible for every aspect which could be solved with common sense.

[Gordo52]

Someone should sue her for being stupid.

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]Third-degree burns on her buttocks. Now, if she's wearing Daisy Duke shorts I can see it being her thighs... but it says buttocks, so it begs the question --[/i][/font]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]How do you sit on a bench and let it burn through your clothes, your underwear (assuming she wore any), your skin and into your muscle and not realize it until you get up to go to the restroom? You would HAVE to feel it. I mean, we're not talking biology where it singes the nerve endings so you don't feel anything but cold.[/i][/font]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]It sounds more like someone did something irresponsible (probably elsewhere) and found a scapegoat.[/i][/font]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]Someone call up that lady who supposedly 'owns' the Sun, I'm suing her for the sunburn I got last year. It was painful and caused me mental anguish and I have the tan lines to prove it. Better yet, Jerry Jones should pull that lady into court and allow Jerry to sue her for making it too hot.[/i][/font]

Some stuff is just wrong.
Also, some lady almost died from McDonald's coffee burns.
Strange days indeed.

[FerrariFan87]

This is so frivolous... unless there's some defective issue with the bench itself, I see this one getting thrown out quickly. Wow.

Yep and she won. McDonald's paid for her being clumsy. It isn't just the unintelligent who sue, it is the non-thinking jurors who award them.

No, actually the burns were so bad she almost died. And it wasn't the only incident with that franchise.

One would think. But the sad thing is, she'll probably make some money.

When I was younger I remember this kid that use to cut through our yard to get to the other street. One day he was running through our yard and tripped on one of the stone walking slates and broke his arm. His family sued my family for medical bills. It was pretty unbelievable.

[Malkavian Raven]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]I got a good story for you, 'cause I'm "Cool Whip" and I can top anything...[/i][/font]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]Briggs & Stratton Lawnmowers (not sure if they're even around anymore), but they once got sued because two gentlemen living in an apartment complex noticed the normal landscaping crew didn't trim the hedges very well. So, they got the bright idea that they would get out their old Briggs & Stratton lawnmower, pick it up and use it to cut down the hedges.[/i][/font]

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif][i]One of the gentlemen wound up falling backwards and the lawnmower fell on his legs and needless to say there wasn't much left of them. That guy sued the lawnmower company because they didn't state their lawnmower shouldn't be used to trim hedges.[/i][/font]

[Ravenslifer]

Seriously I feel bad that the lady got hurt, but I have to believe she sat on the bench for more than a few seconds to get those burns. She had to have known she was getting burned, and yet she didn't bother to just stand up?

Dude, she bought hot coffee, placed it between her legs, and spilled it on herself. In what universe is this the company's fault?

I got nothing to add smh

Guess we should have sued North Carolina for the burns we got on our feet from walking across the mid-day sun in July when we were kids on the Outer Banks.


Yes they still make Briggs and Stratton law mowers we have one.
