Couple Sue McDonald's Over Tough Bagel
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. -- A couple is suing the franchisee of a McDonald's restaurant, claiming an improperly prepared bagel damaged the husband's teeth and their marriage.

John and Cecelia O'Hare sued Friday for unspecified damages more than $15,000. They alleged the McDonald's, owned by Johnstone Foods Inc., was negligent and violated an "implied warranty that the food sold was reasonably fit for human consumption."

They contend in the suit that John O'Hare broke teeth and bridgework on Feb. 1, 2002 when he bit into the bagel. The suit did not say what exactly was wrong with the bagel.

The suit alleges the wife "lost the care, comfort, consortium and society of her husband." The couple's attorney, Tim Warner, did not return telephone messages left at his office.

Tracey Johnstone, owner of Johnstone Foods, said she never before had a bagel complaint and had no idea how it could have been prepared in a way that would damage teeth.

"It's a bagel," she said.

Or how stupid some people can get? My goodness. Maybe I should have sued the cafeteria when I ate tacos and it popped the brackets off my braces when I had them? I'd be rich! :)

Lots of love,

It's not stupidity, it's people willing to make themselves look stupid to make a fast buck.

[CrazyDude]

Maybe I should sue the microwave pizza maker when their pizza burns the roof of my mouth. If only things worked that way.

[Trigear]

i'm going to sue mcdonalds because my grandmother spilled their coffee all over herself and got burned in the process!

(oh wait, that's been done...)

so she's suing mcdonalds for her husband being a self-centred, whiny shite when he broke a few teeth? i'm sure that's their fault. :hang:

[d0rk]

LOL....if they got a divorce because he lost teeth, I highly doubt it was a good and stable marriage to begin with. Morons...I should really sue paper mate for making a object I could accidentaly stabbed myself with, or paper companys when I get a paper cut...some people are just d0rks'.....*no pun intended...ok maybe it was*

[CrazyDude]

Remember the fat people that were gonna sue mcdonalds because they said it was Mcdonald's fault that they were fat? That has to be one of the most retarded lawsuits ever.

Also, what is beyond me here is how damaged teeth can effect a marriage, unless they protrude so far he stabs her with them when they try to kiss...

[ryan]

Bah d0rk :) I like that new quote in yer sig..

I wonder why I didn't think of this "get rich quick" scheme years before they did this stuff? I would've already had my dream car by now, and then some... :p

"Stupid" lawsuits will always happen, no matter how many warning messages there are.
There was one guy who, after buying a new RV with cruise control, was driving down the highway. Getting thirsty and tired, he wanted some coffee, but since the rest of his family was sleeping, he decided to turn on the cruise control and get up and make some for himself. Needless to say, the RV crashed. He then proceeded to sue the company that manufactured the RV because they didn't explicitly mention that he should not get up while driving the RV. He won.

ROFL. Thats just plain dumb. They also didnt say that it could drive itself did they? Come one. Some people just dont have brains. :rolleyes:

[anubis2003]

Yeah, I am pretty sure it happened in the US too. Try and figure that one out. I am constantly surrounded by idiots. Its really kinda depressing.

you should sue the makers of the car for not making a car that can't be hit by you.

What if someone was in that car and the airbags didn't go off? There's another hazzard that the company will need to fix. I don't want people's lives in danger when I'm running from the cops after a murder...They're just as important as me...

[duet maxwell]

what scary is ... alot of thees cases taht are obviously stupid and laughable get taken seriously enough to WIN...

[Obedo]

So I might win against my mom?

[duet maxwell]

i wouldnt be surprised...:igor:

[MrMagick]

In my home town, there was an old couple who tried to sue the local McDonald's for finding brown glass in their fries. Claiming that the heat lamp must have shattered over their fries and no one tried to clean it up. The case was laughed out of court when the judge was shown that the heat lamps used were made of clear glass.

[duet maxwell]

um then where did that brown glass come from?
:confused:

[anubis2003]

They probably brought it in and claimed that it came from the heat lamps, but when they actually got it from their house. Many people have tryed to stage something to get money. I know someone who tried to break his leg on a trampoline because the warning label didn't say to not jump from an elevated platform(his house) onto the trampoline. Fortunately, he didn't break his leg, just made himself look like an idiot.

of course... we have good ground. :up:

[Shenlong]

Since when did McD's sell bagels? :weird:

[anubis2003]

They've had mc-bagels for a while. They aren't that great, and I'm not sure if they carry them at all mcdonalds or not.

He WON? That's just fucking sad. If that's the state our legal system is in these days, I seriously have no faith in it anymore. :eek:

At least there are SOME lawsuits that are stupid enough to be laughed at, even by the higher ups.

[anubis2003]

Yeah, there are many more stupid cases like the RV one. Just run a google search and I'm sure you are bound to find many.

[henry3k56]

I was at a Mc Donald's...during the time the shuttle burned up in the Earth's Atmosphere. And I was eating a Sausage Biscuit Sandwich.

Also the thing, bagels are hard. DUH! Instead why not fix the teeth, and bite into an Einstein's Bagel..same damn thing. People can't be dumb, or at least he should brush his teeth if they fell out while eating food. Damn fool..get braces or dentures. :D Also whats with a marriage in a Mc Donalds? Cheap as heck people. :p

[Mrs_Mia_Wallace]

A frind of mine (who's really tall and strong) used to buy a BigMac, take a huge bite and them smash it with one hit from his fist, walk back up to the counter and claimed that he got it like that...the clerk didn't wan tot got into trouble with him and just gave him a new one so he got 1 1/2 bicmac for the price of 1 (works one time at one McDo or you have to wait until the workers change)

....didn't want to give you bad ideas just wanted to tell you that when being impudent enough (and having some king of authority) yo can get a lot of stuff like that, why not win a lawsuit that nobody has ever thought of? If the judge is really that stupid to let them win...nice extra spending money!

Mia:)

[MrMagick]

speaking of pulling scams at McD's, I once ordered a plain hamburger with no salt. Everytime I got the burger back, I could see that they sprinkled salt on the burger. I had to go back 4 times before I got one without salt! (Low sodiom diet)

[Raz]

i dont go to mcdonalds anymore
reason #1: 36% of the employees at mcdonalds in ontario canada admitted to putting some type of bodily fluid in the food
reason#2: the burgers are grey and 3 mm thick
