...the world today...
everybody complains about the people you either work with or meet at work. i'm not exception - and then i find out about people like these:
"This year's runaway winner ("Stella Awards" named after Stella Liebeck who sued McDonalds for spilling hot coffee on herself) was Mrs. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mrs. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, (from an OU football game), having driven onto the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the drivers seat to go into the back & make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the RV left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mrs. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising her in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually do this. The jury awarded her $1,750,000. plus a new motor home. The company actually changed their manuals on the basis of this suit, just in case there were any other complete morons around"
maybe the people that i meet at work aren't so bad...

Oh my god - how random is that?!? I can't believe that she would willingly risk her life, to pull this stunt and take them to court.
It's sad seeing moronic people being awarded millions of dollars.
