Woman sues Match.com for $10 million

231. I add my voice to those pointing out that the coffee thing is RW propaganda

A cup of coffee can be 150 degrees or 200 degrees. Both are hot, in that you wouldn't want to pour them on yourself.

They are not, however, medically equivalent. The 200 degree coffee is functionally similar pouring boiling water on yourself.

Serving someone coffee heated to a temperature no beverage is ever served at is a truly dangerous practice.

And the woman in the case suffered horrific injuries of a sort that are amazing for mere spilled coffee at the temperature range any of us associate with coffee someone would hand you.

It was a legitimate suit that was NOT about hot coffee, but rather about unusually and dangerously hot coffee.

I am reminded of a lawsuit that could have been reduced to, "This woman didn't know that hot water comes out of the hot water tap." It was a hotel that met the demands of a hotel of people wanting to shower at the same time by turning up the temperature on the boiler to a point where the unadulterated hot water was genuinely dangerous, rather than uncomfortable.

Someone was very seriously injured in a way they could not have been from what we expect of "hot' water. There is hot, and then there is dangerously hot, even though the two look the same.
