TIL a man once sued McDonalds for $1.5 million because of “emotional distress” he suffered after receiving just 1 napkin with his meal.

via reddit.com

Except no that’s not what happened, that’s not why he sued, he sued because when he went to ask for more napkins, the staff started racially harassing him, all over fucking napkins. As for the amount, ut was probably exaggerated by the lawyer so when the court shrinks it, McDonalds would still have to pay at least something.

There are no such things as frivolous lawsuits made by individual people.

+McDonalds loves smear campaigns against those that sue them, such as the lady that got 3rd degree burns from her coffee on a her lap being reduced to “lady sued McDonalds after spilling coffee on her lap” as if the coffee wasn’t 200°F

To add to the “hot coffee woman” story: She was 79 years old and the coffee was hot enough to fuse her labia together. She only wanted enough money to cover medical expenses, but McDonalds pushed back as hard as they could. Eventually she received a small settlement, which was just enough to cover a live-in nurse until she died. These burns took away her quality of life.

Make sure to get the full story on all these “frivolous lawsuits” and you’ll find a much different conclusion.
