Stories that make you shake your head

OK, well this is the type of stupid lawsuit that has started happening over here and about which I am opposed.

A woman went to the pub, got pissed (after already being stoned at home) and when she walked out of the pub, she tripped over a speed bump in her drunken stupor and hurt her back. The pub had to pay her $250K because the stipes on the speedbump weren't white enough.

I know all the details because it happened to be the mother of an ex-boyfriend. She was just a trog and that money would have been better off going to charity than for her to spend on drugs and booze and cigarettes. Her 'sore back' didn't stop her from enjoying all those things still. Her lifestyle was not affected one little bit.

I realize what you're saying cloud, but it's just silly to clog up courtrooms with shit like this. In the end, if anything, the pub should have been ordered to pay medical costs and paint the speedbumps. Not give this woman $250k to smoke up. That's the problem. A lot of the people that enter into these lawsuits do it for all the wrong reasons.
