There was two McDonalds lawsuits, one involved coffee and an older woman. The lady put her coffee between her legs when she was driving, mind you the top was off of the cup and it had steam coming off of it. As the story goes for reason the woman had to stop suddenly, the liquid comes out of the cup and burned her. She sued because no one told her that the coffee was hot. That's why the cups now say caution hot liquid or contents or something like that.
It may be just me, but if I'm buying coffee it's because I thought it was hot, not cold...
And I don’t know what the 2nd lawsuit was about.

If you can make $500,000 for breaking into a warehouse via the skylights, falling and breaking your leg, and suing the company for lack of secure locks on the skylight windows, you are pretty ingenious in my book.

What about the robber that sued the homeowner for shooting him after the robber had broken into the guy's house. That took some thought, if I remember the homeowner actually had to pay for the robbers doctor bill... Its sad to think but the homeowner might have been better off if his shot had killed the robber, no court is going to convict someone for shooting a robber that broke into your house at midnight.
