The McDonalds "Hot Coffee" Lawsuit.
Moronic in my opinion. |

Here's a few:-
A guy bought a camper van and while he was driving he got up and walked into the back to make himself a coffee. Needless to say the vehicle crashed because he was no longer driving it. He sued the manufacturer because there was no warning notice saying that getting out of the drivers seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous
A woman sued a furniture shop because two small children were causing a disturbance in the shop. They were her own children
A guy in Italy sued his wife because she opened his mail
A woman in New York tried to commit suicide by lying across the tracks in the subway. The train hit her and she survived - and sued the subway company for not protecting her from being hit by the train |

Try this one. It was listed as number one in the newest Stella awards (named after the McDonalds coffee lady)
This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was Mrs. Merv Grazinski, of Oklahoma City , Oklahoma , who purchased a new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set. The Oklahoma jury awarded her, are you sitting down, $1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home. |

that's got to be a recent case in scotland where a prisoner sued the scottish prison service for infringing his human rights, why because when he used the prison telephone a voice came on to let the answerer know they were talking to someone held in prison. |

I would say nothing. The person making the claim believes that they are correct and should be compensated for their damages. People blame lawyers for the number of law suits. However, I never sued anyone unless my client wanted be to file. I spent more time talking my clients out of filing claims that actually filing.
I know there are lawyers out there that will take and file any case in the hopes of getting a small settlement (what we call nusisance settlements). But they are not the normal lawyer.
In my years probably the dumbest case I had seen was over two horses and their up keep. The owner of the horses sued the person caring for the horses because they died. The guy caring sued the owner because the owner never paid for their care and said he owned them. As far as I know, the lawsuit is still pending (10 years or so over about $3000.00 in damages). A close second would be a divorce between where husband and wife were both lawyers. A divorce with no minor children should not take more than 6 months to a year to be over with (even if there is a trial). This case was filed 7 years ago and is still going on. Both sides just want to punish each other as much as possible. I guess that keeps them from ruining two other people's lives. |

This is of course subjective but IMO the 54 million dollar lawsuit for a pair of pants.
That actually cost the dry cleaners over 100k not pocket change that's for sure. |

That group of people who sued Denny's for "waiting too long" to be seated. They said it was racial.
If I were the judge of that case, I would've laughed in their face.
Oh, and that McDonald's hot coffee case was pathetic. That old lady has probably tormented a lot of people in her life. |

I heard on the news recently that a Senator is suing god because....."Chambers says in his lawsuit that God has made terrorist threats against the senator and his constituents, inspired fear and caused “widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants.”"
It gets better, God replied. see second source link.
I also heard that (I believe it's the same guy) was suing God just to prove you can sue anyone. |

State Sen. Ernie Chambers is suing God. He said on Monday that it is to prove a point about frivolous lawsuits.
The lawsuit accuses God "of making and continuing to make terroristic threats of grave harm to innumerable persons, including constituents of Plaintiff who Plaintiff has the duty to represent." It says God has caused "fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues, ferocious famines, devastating droughts, genocidal wars, birth defects and the like."
The suit also says God has caused "calamitous catastrophes resulting in the wide-spread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants including innocent babes, infants, children, the aged and infirm without mercy or distinction."
Chambers also says God "has manifested neither compassion nor remorse, proclaiming that defendant will laugh" when calamity comes. |
