Help! Stupid people!

We hear the jokes about the attorneys... I get it. Really I do, but the only reason why we have so many attorneys is because of all the crazy things going on out there in the world... If you've ever taken the time to surf the net for inane lawsuits or stupid cases, you'd understand... It's no wonder Mitchie's a little unhinged some times...

A Canadian man is suing a New York coffee shop after suffering what he calls "damage to his manhood". He got his cock pinched  between the toilet seat and bowl when he reached for the toilet paper. He's asking for $1 million to compensate for his "dire and permanent" injuries. His wife is also suing for $500,000, claiming her husband cannot perform his "marital duties".

A man sued the city of San Diego for $5.4 million after he suffered emotional trauma at an Elton John concert in Municipal Stadium. The man says that a woman was using the men's urinal, a sight that he claims he found extremely upsetting. Then again, there are people who would pay extra for that...

Two surfers went to court after one allegedly stole the other surfer's wave. The case was dismissed after court officials found it impossible to put a monetary value on the wave.

How about the woman who sued the local network for making wrong weather-predictions, causing her to catch a cold...

A jury awarded $178,000 in damages to a woman who sued her former fiance' for breaking their seven-week engagement. The breakdown: $93,000 for pain & suffering; $60,000 for loss of income from her legal practice, and $25,000 for psychiatric counseling expenses.
An inmate filed a $5 million lawsuit against himself (he claimed that he violated his own civil rights by getting arrested) -- then asked the state to pay because he has no income in jail. He said, "I want to pay myself $5 million dollars, but ask the state to pay it on my behalf since I can't work and am a ward of the state." The judge was not impressed by his ingenuity, and dismissed the suit as frivolous.

Sometimes, being frugal can cost you more than anticipated. While apparently trying to steal a soft drink from a vending machine in 1998, 19-year-old Kevin Mackle was rocking it dangerously. Suddenly, the weight shift was too hot to handle and the contraption fell on him. The man died following the accident. His relatives sued Coca-Cola Co., two other companies, and Bishop’s University in Lennoxville, Quebec (for about $660,000 US in damages and funeral costs) alleging that the machine was not secured and bore no warning signs.
 
There's a whole bunch more just like these all over the internet... 'S scary because some of these people won their cases...
