Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 There's an old saying, that God looks after fools, little children, and dogs. I've often reflected on how fortunate my buddies and I were to usually have a good dog or two along.... (But no one I know would have ever sprayed their hair with Go-Rilla Glue!)

It says one should rinse and repeat until issue is resolved. Seems like she is in a world of it. I wonder if she uses wd40 for a facial moisturizer?

It's not the fact she did something stupid that's an issue. It's the fact that she's trying to hold others accountable for not doing enough to protect her from her own stupidity. I really hope the makers of Gorilla Glue refuse to accept a settlement and take this all the way. Unfortunately though settlements are often cheaper than going to trial, even if you win.

I wish it were so. In our experience NOT. Every street from the Sacramento State Capitol to past our house. Had stop signs and stop in big letters painted on the street. A woman ran the stop sign in front of our house, got hit by traffic on the others and said that Hubby's truck hid the sign. (No mention of the "stop" in big letters painted on the street.) State Farm just paid her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozark Huckleberry Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I seem to remember a time when people who did something utterly STOOPID kept their mouths shut about it instead of trying to lay the blame off on someone else because being stupid was a bad thing. Or at least, it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some companies are learning that taking the easy way out just encourages more attempts to extort money from them. They earn a place on the sucker list that is exchanged/sold to other unscrupulous entities. At one time, my employer made it policy to fight all claims and prosecute all thefts. After I left, somehow a different attitude evolved until the firm became the target of a lot of a lot more scams (easier to pay than dispute or fight.) and a lot more dubious claims came in and the number of scams has grown. One notable scam took the firm for over $100,000.00 in a single transaction and it wasn't even discovered until the same scam was tried again and someone mentioned the proposed payment to the supposed request for payment initiator, over a coffee and got a "HUH? WHAT?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced this Gorilla Glue thing is a planned set up between her and an unscrupulous attorney. Yeah, she experiences some discomfort, but a potential 6 or 7 figure payout motivates some people to do bizarre things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the invention of Facebook, Twitter and other "social" media people have not gotten any smarter. "Do Not" is a problem. If you do not think of every possible "Do Not," then it becomes a possible "do" without to regard for any instructions for what a product is for. This lady did not understand it is a glue? What does glue do? Is your hair something you might want to glue? I'm not even bothering to read the story or her claims, maybe if she gets the runs, she could use the tip of the applicator to apply some glue because it looks like it would fit? Possible if there are other "do not" instructions and this was not one of the "do not" instructions. "Do not use Gorilla Glue to cure a case of the runs." Hope the judge laughs her out of court.

watab kid Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 my take on this is ; there are those that are so "smart' they can think up new uses for everyday household products , if it works they want royalties , if not they sue - there is a common thread here , she lost the first , there are those that love to live on the edge and cant stand the loneliness so need to take others along , tidepods and other dumb challenges there are those that really are stupid and reach into a running lawnmower - natural selection used to give them a lesson then if they didnt learn just eliminate them from the gene pool , then there are those we have "educated" into the new intelligencia , we are getting back exactly what we put in , sit back and enjoy it its real reality TV right here in your front yard , oh i got some carbon tet in the garage ill scrub her head if she thinks it might help - but im inclined to agree with shaving her head and waxing it - then she can set up a go fund me account to help her out , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You underestimated the capacity for stupidity in the human brain. That is often quoted as the ultimate in stupidity...EXCEPT that the McDonalds was serving the coffee at around 190 degrees... (most people would find anything over 175 too hot to drink!) When the coffee spilt in her lap she didn't get a bit of a burn......she received third degree burns to 6% of her body (and lesser burns to a total of 16%) She was in hospital for 8 days and required skin grafts... She asked McDonalds for $20,000 to cover current and anticipated medical/carer expenses....(medical expenses at that point were already over $10,000) they offered $800. She sued..asking for $90,000... they refused any settlement, even that suggested by a mediator. The woman in question did not immediately sue....she sought a simple compensatory settlement... then she went to mediation... Turns out the prior to that incident McDonalds had already paid out $500,000 in compensation to coffee scald victims. McDonalds argued that people at a drive through want the coffee hot because they will not be drinking it immediately... yet they also admitted their OWN research shows most people drink it immediately.... It was not the simple story it seemed..... NOT like this Glue farce!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
