Actually you can't contact your lawyer because chances are you waived your right to sue in most situations in exchange for various types of insurance offered at the company you work for (health, life, disability).

Anyway, back onto topic the fact that the woman is a recluse, loves stirring up trouble, and actually believes you rigged your test proves she's crazy. Sounds like you live below a schizo. I'd have called some guys in white outfits with butterfly nets to catch a long time ago. I admire your patience.

Last time I checked, coffee is hot. Pretty sure McDonald's has always labeled coffee on their menu as "Hot Coffee"

If I make coffee using whatever coffee maker you can buy from Target, Wal-Mart, etc, I'm willing to bet it comes out of the pot at 180-190 degrees no problem. If I spill that shit on me and burn myself, who is to blame?

Regardless of what McDonald's past history is with their product, at some point we all have to accept a fair amount of responsibility for our actions. Lest us not forget this dumb bitch REMOVED the fucking lid that comes with the coffee, then drove off in her car.

Reading comprehension is apparently not your forte. I wager you havent even bothered to read the article stating the facts about the case? Mmmkay here are the facts.

Other establishments sell coffee at substantially lower temperatures, and coffee served at home is generally 135 to 140 degrees.

Critics of civil justice, who have pounced on this case, often charge that Liebeck was driving the car or that the vehicle was in motion when she spilled the coffee; neither is true.

1) The lady was clumsy and did something stupid, spilling coffee on herself, ruining her sweatpants and making a mess. McDonald's has no liability for this.

2) The coffee from McDonald's was served to her at an extreme temperature that was unsafe for consumption and presented a health risk of third-degree burning. Mcdonald's DOES has liability for this.

If the coffee was at the typical barely dangerous temperature, the lady would have been swearing up a storm and pissed after the spill, but she wouldn't have gotten third-degree burns or required hospitalization. Either she'd go back and actually order another cup of coffee, or say screw it, drive off and have a rotten day, but that would be the end of it.

Regardless, the McDonald's case actually had evidence of a health risk to customers, while the OP's crazy neighbor is either a nutcase or seeking frivilous litigation.

Enough coffee, more crazy neighbors.

Your neighbor needs to come and live at my flat, I broke my hand a week ago because the asshole downstairs finally pushed me over the edge playing his tunes at 2am with the bass on full blast, I freaked out, flew down the stairs screaming obscenities and threatening murder and foolishly smacked my fist full force into his solid wood door, music did go off immediately and I actually haven't seen him since, I think he went to live with his parents.

Few days later went to the hospital and they confirmed I'd broken my hand, better than being in prison though I suppose.

PC's make no noise whatsoever, vibrations my ass.

You need to get some more calcium in your diet, obviously.

Devlin · 04-02-2007, 03:11 PM

No doubt.

I know all about the crazy neighbor syndrome....

Back in 93 I was attending U-Mich Flint, and working pretty much full time. Granted the walls between our places wasnt very well insulated, but she would basically pound on a wall screaming for listening to TV past 8 PM. I am not talking cranked either...just loud enough to hear. Was embarresed when working on a grp project with another student at my place, and she started in because we were talking.

Few months later her kid had come home while I was talking to my neighbors up front....used to smoke a little weed together once in a while since really didnt have much time for a "true" social life. So the kid easdropped on our conversation, and went back telling his mother we were basically dissing them(which we werent even discussing them) Woman comes out basically in a see thru top with no bra....nipples blarring about as loud as she was. Luckily a cop lived in the house next door. Heard her screaming, and basically shouted at her till she went back inside.

Short time later I started getting on a lucky streak of a few women. I noticed the complaints from her basically stopped once she started having live sex to listen in on.

Cliff notes....yeah the woman wants him to lay some pipe :P

It's an interesting story; I need to know how it ends!

Just some random input: I can't fall asleep with my computer on, unless I have a fan on to mask the noise it makes (it's not loud, either). In which case, it's easier to just turn it off. I've no idea why this is, other than I'm possibly tempted to go to my desk and start surfing/playing something/etc. and can't just relax and sleep.

Also, I have a Linksys router that makes a very high-pitch noise, that can get very annoying; for some reason, I no longer hear it though, so...

Usually you can acclimate yourself to anything. After moving to the country from the city I couldn't get to sleep. It was too fucking quiet. I needed a fire truck, honking cabs, and an arguing puerto rican couple outside my apartment before I could fall asleep. But now silence and a few crickets do the trick.

This woman needs a punch to the face.
