Another win for idiocracy

Only in Trumpland. It's been tried over here once when somebody spilled their coffee in McDonald's. The judge threw the case out and said coffee's supposed to be hot. :)

How anyone manages to burn themselves with McDonald's food beats the hell out of me. Mine's usually lukewarm when I get it!

It teaches the kid that it's always someone else's fault, very bad parenting but they love a lawsuit in the US don't they

Early red card in the next Brazilian Serie B match and the OU prices barely change. :lol:

They could be down to 3 men and the final score will still be 0-0.

I just wanted one carrot for my Bolognese but ASDA expects me to purchase a flipping bag. Do they expect me to throw the rest away, spend the next day eating carrots or assume I have a rabbit?

And then people complain that too much food is wasted, hardly surprising!

If he paid into a health plan he may have a case, but I don't know why it's taken him 15 years to realize his salary is going down in real terms.

This one is right out of the top drawer, in case you've missed it. Absolutely no shame telling their story on breakfast TV. :lol:

I doubt anyone really cares how many matched bets they've got on a market, but with the amount of space available on the Betfair page you'd think they could go into 3 figures. :lol:

Whatever happened to taking responsibility for your own actions? I would be a multi millionaire if I sued every time I did something "stupid" when I was pissed,

It is always someone else's fault these day

In the interest of balance ;) this is just Daily Mail clickbate. Pointing the finger at a handful of undesirable immigrants, benefit fraudsters or lead swingers is lazy journalists picking easy targets. Big business holding the moral high ground, yeah right.

Like you said, it's always someone else's fault and this week it's this guy.

Fraud & error costs the DWP billions a year. It's quite clever of them to categorise the two together as people only look at the word fraud. Every time they blow tens of millions on overpayments it gets added to the fraud statistics. :)

When you break into a facility you lose your right to any statutory protections. Professional criminals would not be be so thick. To that couple I would say instead of suing with no legal basis, get some counselling for your aberrant behaviour.
