A 19-year-old Texas woman who sued Bill Miller Bar-B-Q for injury after sustaining a second-degree burn from barbeque sauce was awarded $2.8 million by a jury.

Girl got a breakfast taco at Bill Miller (it's a TX BBQ chain), dropped it on her leg and got a burn from the sauce being hot. They gave her $2.8 MILLION for her "pain and suffering".



If you can become a millionaire because hot food burned you, the Totino's pizza people owe me about a billion dollars.

Most people would just go "Ouch! Sh*t!" and blow on the food to cool it off. But this chick sued because she's a ****ing idiot. And the even bigger idiot jury awarded her millions.

I get tired of these people. Lawyers who take these cases should be disbarred.

Once at the wawa in LP I hot a cup of coffee. I know coffee is supposed to be hot so I had let it cool for several minutes before taking a test sip. It burned enough to immediately put a blister on my tongue and the roof of my mouth. Luckily, I didn't spill it when I took a sip because it probably would have left more than a red mark. I went back to the store and very politely told the manager what happened. He immediately went and checked the vat I had used. Sure enough, there was some type of malfunction and the coffee was at a low boil inside. I didn't yell, scream, or threaten to sue. I didn't need medical attention (which the manager asked) but it did hurt like hell. Manager thanked me profusely for bringing it to his attention and gave me a $50 gift card for my trouble. I wasn't expecting anything other than my coffee refunded and to prevent it from happening to someone else. Guess I should've sued for a million instead of accepting $50 for a blister Damn!!
