According to this website, people sue each other for really stupid things.
They're all true too.
Here are some:
A woman sued Disney for 15 million dollars because she said in one of the episodes of "The Little Mermaid" the mermaid, Arielle, changed her clothes behind a rock which she thought implied that the mermaid had private parts. She got about 10 million dollars of it.
Someone else sues Disney for 18 million dollars because he said that in "Alice In Wonderland" the caterpillar sitting on the mushroom smoking was a reference to smoking 'shrooms. He got most of the money.
A woman sued a store for 12 million dollars because she tripped over her son and she blamed them for not watching him. She got every penny.
Someone broke into a house in Pennsylvania while the family was on vacation but couldn't get out and was trapped for 8 days. When the family returned and let him out, he sued them for almost 1 million dollars and got half of it.
A lady sues McDonalds for several million dollars because she ordered a cup of coffee and gulped the whole thing down instantly causing burns in her throat. She actually said after the lawsuit, "Why do you have to serve coffee hot?" She got all the money she was after by the way.
A prisoner sued himself. He claimed that the defendant (him) violated the plaintiff's (his) civil rights when the defendant allowed the plaintiff to get drink. The alcohol instigated the criminal behavior.
He argued that since the defendant (himself) didn't have any money, the STATE should pay. He didn't get any money though.
A surfer sues another surfer for "stealing" his wave. He got a fraction of the million dollars he was after.
I cannot believe how stupid people are!
