I once had scalding hot coffee spilled on my hand me at a restaurant. I didn’t even flinch, nor even move my hand at all as if in pain, and waited a moment to put down my burger (or whatever it was) with my other hand while the waitress panicked. I said, “It’s fine,” and it was.
you would think they would learn
they serve it way too hot
I can’t ever drink it for about 15 minutes after I buy it
It is just an awkward position to be in when handing thing from the drive up window to the car; especially to small low profile car.
Stella Leibeck suffered second and third degree burns over 16% of her body, spent a week in the hospital, and only sued McDonald’s, who had been repeatedly warned that 180 degree coffee was too hot, refused to cover her medical bills.

Shouldn’t be drinking anything in your car in the first place. I can see drinking water if you are in a low traffic zone, like cruising on the Interstates. But piloting a car in traffic, especially during rush hour traffic, while trying to juggle hot coffee and an egg mcmuffin, smoking a cigarette and putting on makeup is simply asking for trouble.
No, I have no sympathy for it, even if MacDonalds is making the coffee too hot. If people want to get all sympathetic about the irresponsible idiots they can go over to dailykos or moveon and join the anti-Macdonalds lovefest.
Hold right there partner. Read the excerpt. McDonalds is serving a whole different kind of coffee. Something completely different. Joan Fino did not spill that cup in her lap. The coffee spilled it self.
Maybe she does have a case here.
Well...
This is why liberals want to ban guns.
They can’t even handle coffee without hurting themselves.
Wow! Coffee’s hot! Whoda thunk?!!
People were horrified until they understood what was going on. The girl behind the counter brought a dry towel. Several people said they never would have thought of removing the clothing holding the boiling water against their skin.
And I didn't sue.
Probably not. Injuries aren't even close in severity, and McD has done about all it can do to reduce the rate of injury due to coffee temperature.

Mc Dee wants to know if she was wearing Bloomers that day.
When ObamaCare kicks in, you’ll see a lot of desperate people pulling these scams.
Hey, I hit my thumb with a hammer, can I sue Home Depot? I got paint on my favorite shirt today too, can I sue Lowes? What a bunch of ... “cats.” If you screw up and hurt yourself guess what - it’s no-one’s fault but your own! Coffee is hot, hammers hurt, paint gets into/onto everything. You have to learn to be careful with things that can hurt you, and you know, take a little personal responsibility for the consequences of your decisions and actions.
There are moronic Freepers who actually defend the original hot coffee lady. You can almost hear the violins in the background.
ENOUGH,ALREADY!If the coffe hadn’t been hot enough,she would have taken it back and bitched and moaned!!Where does”Personal Responsibility”come into “REAL LIFE”???
every heard of putting your cream and sugar in at a table before you go to your car? I’ve been drinking coffee and cold drinks from fast food for years, never had a accident that was not my fault, because I failed to get the lid on right.
I drink my coffee from one of those steel cups that keeps your coffee hot, and a few times I’ve not screwed the lid on tight enough, the burn was my fault, not the cups’.
