Makes me think of the woman suing McD's because she spilled
hot coffee on herself, Seems it is getting so everyone wants to
screw someone for their mistakes.

That case has had a lot of press, but there's more to it than "coffee is
hot, deal with it".

The coffee was absorbed into the woman's sweatpants and held next to her
skin. McD's keeps their coffee at 185 degrees, while most other places
keep theirs at 140 or so. At 155 or less, the coffee would have been
cool enough to avoid causing a serious burn. At the higher temperature,
it caused third-degree burns over 6 percent of her body, bad enough that
she needed skin grafts. Initially she tried to settle out of court for
$20000, but McD's refused.
