That was my first thought, too.
At least the lady who sued McDonald’s over her hot coffee knew that she was burned as soon as it spilled. How on earth you could sit still long enough to get a third degree burn from the seat you are on is really hard to imagine.
My only speculation was that she was too drunk/stoned to notice. I can't imagine how any rational jury would find in favor of her (yes, I realize how stupid juries can be).
