So I had a full 20 oz cup of coffee on my desk this morning and knock the fucker over, keyboard soaked, cell phone dead, files and other shit soaking wet.
Fuck me.
Had to get a new cell phone and US Cellular wants me to pay $100 for a replacement when they fucking give cell phones away now. Fuck them. I am done with those asshats when my contract is up in 6 months.

You idiot. The cost of the phone is subsidized in your monthly contract. They aren't giving them away.

Sure but I am still paying them around $100 a month they can give me a used phone for free. and I pay a text message fee every month when it doesn't cost them anything regardless if I sent 1 text or 500. |

You see that is part of the problem. I don't like my coffee to burn the shit out of my mouth so I take the lid off to let it cool a bit. I guess I'm just not a sipper.  |

Now why in the hell do places like Starbucks, Caribou, etc, need to make their coffee so goddamn hot that it's like drinking molten lava?? Whenever I get a coffee there, I have to let it sit w/o the lid for about 15 minutes, otherwise my mouth gets burned to shit. |

And to think, if it wasn't for that lady winning that lawsuit against McDonald's that is cited as the most egregious lawsuit ever won, it would be even fucking hotter. These places get complaints about their coffee being too hot all the fucking time, but they still make the shit so hot that it burns your mouth if you drink it immediately after it is handed over, but it could be even worse. |

To be fair, in the McDonald suit the coffee was served over hot, and the lid was not placed on properly and she did sever burns on her old lady vagina requiring skin grafts. That said, hot coffee does not go between your legs. So McDonalds should not have been found solely at fault, and the payout was probably too much.

In a massive twist of irony, or maybe just the legal system at work, whenever I order a mocha from McD's I can drink it directly. Maybe it's cuz it's a mocha and it has milk and whipped cream. That fucking Starbucks coffee though...goddamn, that shit could burn the paint off a house. |

That's all she sued for. They jury got pissed at McD's and decided to punish them for knowingly serving beverages that were literally too hot to safely consume. McD's was on notice and kept serving the shit, and the jury made them pay. Poor old Stella just wanted her bills paid. |

I bet we could find some though... |

I bet we could find some though... Good luck. No attorney worth half a turd would deliberately file a meritless (i.e. frivolous) lawsuit because there is no money to be made (but expenses to be paid) when the judge inevitably throws that shit out of court. You have to have a sound legal theory to proceed with a lawsuit or your ass is gone. You can't just make shit up and progress through the courts. |
