A man named Webster Lucas is so upset with McDonald's that he has decided to file a lawsuit against them for $1.5 million, but it's not for any reason you could possibly imagine. TMZ reported on Feb. 27, 2014, that the California man is suing McDonald's because they gave him only one napkin with the meal that he ordered and received.
Lucas contacted the general manager via email and said that he was suffering from "undue mental anguish" and that stopped him from going to work. He also says that the general manager tried to make amends by offering him free food at McDonald's, but that wasn't enough.

No, I'm sure he's perfectly sane. He's just trying his luck at the Litigation Lottery. People file these types of lawsuits all the time hoping for quick out-of-court settlements.
He just wants the settlement money.
The real story here is that a brotha eats at McDonalds, despite Moochelle’s calls to the contrary.
He’d better get used to it.
The Greenie Weenies are eventually going to require customers to PAY for that one-square if they don’t bring a handcloth/rag from home.
With me it is salt, they never give me any...
You are so funny! :)
This is insanity.
I get ticked when they only give you one ketchup packet or something too like they often do these days, but come on....that’s not a lawsuit worthy problem.
That case was actually worse than commonly believed. Look into it and see her burns. It wasn’t just hot. It was negligently hot, which is why she won.
My glove box is overflowing with napkins collected from my last four or five visits. I can cover him.
She was on the high side of 80, when skin becomes significantly more susceptible to scalding. And she spilled it in a very delicate place.
No way Mickey D’s could have foreseen that.
I better contact a lawyer. I went to McDonalds on Saturday and got NO NAPKINS.
He has to be nuts..If you need more napkins they are right on the counter or over by the soda dispenser right in sight for most normal people to see..
"Life was simpler then. There wasn't all this concern about hy-giene! In my day, we didn't have Kleenex. When you turned seventeen, you were given the family handkerchief. ... It hadn't been washed in generations and it stood on its own ... filled with diseases and swarmin' with flies. ... If you tried to blow your nose, you'd get an infection and your head would swell up and turn green and children would burst into tears at the sight o' ya! And that's the way it was and we liked it! "
I just reach between the seats and grab what I need. When there isn't any between the seats, I look in the center console. If the center console is empty, I check the glove box. If the glove box is empty, I check under the seats.
If there aren't any under the seats THEN I call my lawyer to sue.
Exactly!
“It wasn’t just hot. It was negligently hot, which is why she won.”
Wrong. It was 180-190, which is the NORMAL range for coffee from a coffee maker according to national standards.
And her problem was that she sat in it for 90 seconds, and her own lawyers admitted sitting in 145 deg water for 90 seconds would have also caused severe burns.

If Sheryl Crow ran McDes’ he would only get one square of TP as well.
