"Yeah, the coffee is hot, and I expected it to be hot, because I would have complained if you gave me lukewarm coffee, but because I spilled it on myself, I should be able to get money from you because you didn't TELL me in 5 different ways that it was hot."

Some basic facts about this legal case can be found at the link below. McDonald's was warned many, many times and failed to act. When told to reduce the heat from 180-190 degrees to 130, they didn't. The jury punished them as they saw fit. and the judge reduced the damages.

I know it's not related to this discussion, hell (oops, I just got a T from David), it's not related to officiating at all. I just like for the facts to be reported correctly.

FWIW - I say no T for the incident in the OP
