I think it is time for the Supreme Court to pass judgement on stupidity.
We need a major court to say it is our fault when we hurt ourselves like this and we just need to accept blame and move along.
Another (alleged) dufus is suing because the water was too hot.
Zeynep Inanli claims that Starbucks sold tea that was hot enough to cause "great physical pain and mental anguish" because the beverage was served "unreasonably hot, in containers which were not safe".
Anyone who makes tea the right way understands that the water should be between 180 to 210 degrees (unless you are making a delicate green tea).
If that is too hot for you and you are too lame to handle an environmentally friendly container, it's your fault you got burned.
And anguish; really?
When I spill something hot on myself, my 'anguish' is actually guilt felt for being clumsy.
