Here comes another one of my favorite greatest hits: the I-split-something-on-myself-and-decided-to-sue-the-restaurant-for-burning-the-skin-right-off-of-my-bones suit. You can’t turn your back on a classic.
This time, a man sued a restaurant for spilling flaming, napalm hot sausage gravy, according to the West Virginia Record.
He claims he split it on his wrist and caused him to have to go to the hospital where their local burn ward as a Stella Liebeck Memorial Burn Ward for burn victims who’ve split hot things on themselves in restaurants. Don’t go through the Hardee’s wing on a full stomach. It’s a #*$&ing horrorshow.
Even though the medical damages cost him $800, he is seeking $5,000 in punitive damages. He is also asking for a doggy bag so he can take his chicken friend steak home.

Whats even more appalling is how many times a court awards in favor of the defendant. Course…what else can you expect from a judicial system that strikes down proposed or enacted legislation that in one form or another pertains to illegal aliens because “it is against their constitutional rights”? Ummm…if all illegal aliens are entitled to the same rights we are…whats so great about being American?

Why don’t we just starting setting out microwaves and have patrons warm up their own damn food.
If this guys mom made him some sausage gravy in her home and he spilled some on himself, would he sue his mother??
Yeah me thinks not.

Huh, wonder what he would do with the money if he got it? My suggestion, he should invest in some gravy proof slacks.

and if the food hadnt come out hot he would have sued for the emotional stress of having to send it back to the kitchen
