What's the most silliest lawsuit have you ever heard of?

Answer 1

The pants...defenitley the pants...and by a Judge no less! I think that is the topper in this case.

Plus pretty much every ridiculous warning on consumer products. For everyone of those warnings you know some idoit sued and won causing the manufacturer to put a warning on to avoid future cases. One of the warnings I have seen that I would really like to know the details of the case is a warning I saw on a stroller:

Remove child prior to folding stroller into compact position.

Seriosly, after that case I hope social services took that child away from the idiot that did that.

Answer 2

A guy broke into a garage door which auto locked behind him so he couldn't get out. The family was on vacation. The guy had to live on a case of coke and bag of dog food for a week. He sued because he said there should be a way to get out of the garage in such cases and won.

A guy shot a BB gun at a dog which was tied and behind a fence. Then crawled over the fence and threw rocks at the dog. The dog broke loose and bite the guy. The guy sued and won.

A guy bought a big RV camper. He put it on cruise control which he thought was "auto pilot" so he could go in the back and get a cup of coffee. Naturally, he crashed. He sued since the directions weren't more exact and won.

Answer 3

Has to be that idiot judge in DC that wanted 60 million from the cleaners for losing a pair of pants.

** To clear up the McD's coffee case:

McDonald's used to serve cheap coffee. Really cheap. Nasty stuff. To hide the taste, they served it hot. Really hot. 40 degrees hotter than the rest of the world serves coffee. Within that forty degree range is the difference between a second degree burn and a third degree burn. They knew this. They knew their coffee would seriously injure anyone that spilled it on themselves, and those people probably had spilled other coffee on themselves without serious injury.

McD's deserved to lose that lawsuit. It doesn't qualify as "silly".

Answer 4

I studied a case in law school about the man who had his butt glued to a toilet TWICE. The second time was in Home Depot, and he sued because no one would come in a help him while he yelled.

Another was a grocery store in Virginia where apparently you must have serioud anger issues before they'll hire you. In one instance they accused a woman of shoplifting (she was innocent), and the manager and another employee dragged her to the back. Then they rubbed her face in a pile of dirt, called her derogatory names and held her for 2 or 3 hours before letting her go.

Another involving the same chain of stores an employee was told to pick up some celery, and he told his manager "You don't know who I am, I'm going to burn you.", then stormed off. A customer heard this, and began chasing the employee asking his name. He then turned around and "kung-fu-ed"(their term, not mine) her in the chest, which knocked her down.

Answer 5

The most recent one about the lawyer suing the cleaners for alledgedly losing his pants, which were found. What a bunch of BS!!!! NOW that is a BULLY, if I ever heard of one. I think our entire judicial system needs to be overhauled and there needs to be a system put into place to keep this type of crap from clogging up our court system.

Answer 6

A local case in Lancaster County. A restaurant had a small step to get in, so, in order to be handicap accessible, they put some handicap parking in the rear, and put in an elevator. When you needed to get in, you had to ring a bell, and the staff would let you in, and you could ride the elevator up. A handicapped person sued, because he didn't like going in the back way, and demanded that the restaurant spend anotehr 10,000 dollars to put in a ramp. Plus, she wanted pain and suffering for the "mental anguish and embarrassment", for having to come in on the elevator.

Answer 7

I know of an inmate lawsuit who sued the prison he was in when guards had a party for a retiring guard. The inmate sued because he wasn't invited to the party and he didn't get any cake.

Answer 8

I don't know between which to choose, but I have two:

A guy suing his mother for bringing him to life. He says he is miserable.

Another silly one is against electric stairway company by a lady. She says I felt down from it because of bad design. I was using condoms and when I fell down I lost the condoms or something like this. now I am pregnant and I want the company to take care of my child until he is 18 :)

Answer 9

Toss up between the MC's coffee and the pants

Answer 10

That air head judge in DC most definitely.
