Next Lawsuit? (teasing)

Heh. Was going to the store to buy cigarettes (yes, folks, cigarettes,
but this isn't about that). The man at the store could be a twin to
Chatty Cathy. So there's a man backed up against the door, trying to
get away from this guy without being rude. I tapped on the door and he
practically fell through it getting it open. The door scraped my foot
and now I have a scrape and a bruise.

Questions:
Do I sue the customer for leaning against the door?
Do I sue the shop employee for chatting the man up to the point he was
desperate to escape?
Do I sue the owner of the store for hiring this guy who won't shut up?
Do I sue the tobacco company for making the cigarettes because now my
foot is bruised when I went to the store?
Do I sue the company that made the door that opened on my foot and
scraped and bruised it?

Or, should I just go make some steaming hot mashed potatoes and have a
cup of 180 degree coffee to go with? <G>

Jill

Smear the mashed potatoes on the scrape and bruise, then drink the coffee.
Go back to bed...it's Saturday!

Mashed spuds sound sooooooo GOOD!

Let's change the scenario a little. You tap on the door, the guy
trips and falls through the glass. A shard of glass slices 1/2" off
your nose. You get skin grafts to cover up the wound and endure a
week of pain and weeks of swollen nose. Then the bandages come off.
Your nose works fine, air goes in, air goes out, no medical problem
there. But you don't like the way it looks, kind of short and flat at
the end with red scar tissue, or the stares.

Oh well, it's nobody's fault, after all you were impatient and tapped
on the glass, so you accept responsibilty and spring for $50k medical
expenses and cosmetic surgery yourself.

Yes indeed. Let the spuds dry, then sand smooth then paint the
appropriate color. Good as new.

Isn't it obvious? You sue whoever has the deepest pockets. (that would
be the tobacco company)

LOL! I do not trust you. :-) I cannot even imagine pureed water

I tried it one day as an experiment.
My housemate nearly inhaled them! I pureed them (with some of the can
water) in the blender, then nuked with butter and shredded cheese.

The flavor was nearly identical to potatoes and the texture was smooth
and creamy, like whipped spuds. There was not that "sweet cauliflower"
overtone that whipped mashed cauliflower has...

I dare you to try it, just on one small can!

Cheers!

In that case, you file a claim with the store's insurance policy (BTW,
it should have been safety glass in the door.) I don't know that you'd
get the $50k.

What if the store is self-insured, like McDonald's? In any case, it
wasn't the store's fault so the insurance company shouldn't have to
pay!

Unless you found a syringe or part of a finger in your cigarette pack, I
don't see a case here.
