I tend to always give the underdog the benefit of the doubt in these cases.
Remember when a lady suffered third degree burns from coffee at a McDonalds drive through? Everybody made fun of her but she was right, she won in court, and McDonalds had to retrain staff and change how equipment was operated at every single location.
And she didn’t even ask for the massive compensations she eventually got, she only asked McD to cover the medical expenses, as she had to spent a fair amount of time in a hospital because of the burned crotch she had.
Not unreasonable by a mile, but after that case, corporations have tried making pretty much all lawsuits against them seem completely ridiculous. I wonder why…
That said the dude in the photo does look guilty af.
Third degree burned crotch too. It wasn’t just a little too hot and she got a little burn. It was extensive.
Yes, literally life-threateningly bad burns. Not just an owie.
Melted labia. They gave her so much money because of course they did, the lady’s labia melted and McDonald’s had been warned before
That’s how shitty they are, they wouldn’t even pay the medical bills when they knew that their coffee was way too hot. They knew it was way too hot because their guidelines said to make it too hot to mask how bad it is.
Agree strongly.
However the reason they used such hot water to create coffee was that using 98C water to make coffee gives you more coffee from the same amount of coffee grounds than using the recommended 90C. Shittier coffee yes, and hotter, but more of it.
The actual reason they kept the coffee at that temperature (since it usually wasn’t freshly brewed the brewing temperature doesn’t matter) is that hotter coffee takes longer to drink, which means fewer refills (which used to be free when this happened).
Come on, don’t sugarcoat it. She suffered third degree vagina burns and a fused labia.
That lady had
polyester pants melted deep into her skin.Liebeck was wearing cotton sweatpants, which absorbed the coffee and held it against her skin, scalding her thighs, buttocks and groin.[
I doubt her settlement paid all the bills, especially after attorney fees
Edited because I was wrong.

In the end it was apparently $640 000, so I honestly don’t know whether it would’ve covered medical costs and attorneys fees in America.
It was in the 90s. It was bad then but not nearly as bad as it is now.
640k was worth a lot more.
“640K ought to be enough for anybody.”
Hi thank you. I was wrong about the polyester pants, and I edited my post, to reflect that.
She wasn’t right but she did win in court.
She spilled on herself. Her own fault.
You’ll never change my mind.Idc about mcds. Stupid is stupid. Her action her consequences.
You know nothing about what happened and you are objectively wrong.
You were lied to by capitalists with willing and eager help from the news empires.

I’m sure that’s the only time that ever happened.
The coffee was hot enough to cause life threatening burns and there were many cases of complaints and damages across the nation until they changed their policy. Now they serve coffee at a temperature humans can consume, and the lid is always tightly secured. She wasn’t even suing for money, the court awarded her money she didn’t ask for.
That’s the face of a man who thought she wouldn’t take it this far

They both know each other knows, but at this point, throwing in the towel is going to hurt their pride too much.
There’s no way of knowing what happened there.
But back in the mid to late 2000’s we had a whole bunch of residential internet customers and every so often one would blow their traffic cap by a bunch and would ring up and say “Your billing system is wrong!”.
Then whoever could be bothered in the office would do some modest analysis on their netflow data and come up with something like "18% of your traffic this month was redtube.com, 33% was pornhub.com and 9% was xhamster.com.
We never knew if whoever was on the phone was the raging porn addict or it was one of their associates. Either way they would say “Oh well, I guess we will never know then. Thanks for your help. Bye.”. Followed by them quietly paying the bill.

This joke is old and tired. Stop making it.

That bloke looks like he doesn’t even know HOW to order porn over the TV.
I honestly don’t know of a bigger incentive driving people to learn tech, than porn.
I learned because of videogames but that was also before puberty so…
He’s been mastering this look to trick fools like you!
What joke?

ok I got this, just keep calm and give them your most disappointed look, I can do this.
Daily mail sadface
