[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 264455, member: 6705"] OK, I'll go for that, and strike it from my list! It's just that [I]since[/I] then, people are suing for the dumbest things. ...I stabbed myself in the mouth with a fork, I'm suing Oneida for making the fork... ...I tripped on a rug lying flat on the floor, I'm suing the rug manufacturer... ...I let my kid stand up in a cart and he fell, I'm suing Target for having carts... But my favorite was when I worked in returns, in the back of a major retailer. Seems someone had bought a stainless-steel toaster, then when making toast, burned themselves on the outside of it. The box actually states that the appliance gets hot and not to touch the sides, only the heat-resistant handles. This person returned it and told the poor girl at the returns desk that if they didn't get their money back RIGHT NOW they were suing XXX (where I worked). No receipt. Turned out they hadn't even bought it - it was a gift - and it was purchased at [I]another[/I] retailer. Wow. [/QUOTE]
