Woman Arrested After Throwing Coffee Into Passing Car

How inventive – a mobile coffee shop. 

This actually happened to me. I was driving with my husband in Los Angeles. Some dumb ass couple in a boxster cut us off, then had been driving ridiculously for several blocks. I flipped them them off and at the next light the woman passenger got out, poured coffee on me (the passenger) through our sunroof. I wish I could say I behaved better than her, but I reached out with our car safety tool and tapped the drivers side window while she was going around to get back in their car. It shattered like a fine spider web. We drove off. Not one of my finest hours.

That sounds like a PARTY to me – drinks and a smashing good time   

if she’d only thrown a doughnut with the coffee all would be good. 

If you can find them, lawn darts work best in these situations.

 Jarts – what a great game. 

 Now that’s what a brother is for!

I’m just glad the tailgater got ticketed, too. It’s not speed that causes most “accidents” (I call them moron collisions), it’s not leaving enough following distance to be able to stop in time. And don’t give me that crap about trying to “push” that one lame-ass out of the left lane or to urge them to go faster… I’m talking about when it’s in city traffic and it’s not one car, but a whole city full of cars in front. Riding on each other’s ass is NOT going to make the line move any faster! So back off and relax. /endrant

Sure is, that is one of many reasons i try to stay NORTH of Albany (the REAL upstate NY) you get south of Albany, drivers lose their common sense.

You don’t have to speed. Just move the fuck over. Some of us just like driving faster than you.

Well damnit, if I drive any faster my Hound dog might fly out the back of the truck. Can’t well have that happen now can I ???

Agreed; unless you are the one clogging up the passing lane on the highway Chelsea warned us about.  God I hate when someone decides for everyone on the highway how fast you are allowed to go.  GTF out of my way already!!!

Why you driving in the passing lane with Buster if you’re not passing?

LOVE IT!!

I threw a half-eaten ice cream sundae through the (open) sunroof of this hateful Sonic car-hop’s Honda Civic…because I’m classy like that! 

Drive right, pass left  §545.051 – DRIVING ON RIGHT SIDE OF ROADWAY

Whore-wife was implicit to mean my ex-wife, not just any ol wife.

In the days of my youth me and my friend Thadius Daniels were driving  from Newport Beach (California) to Corona, where we lived.  Our friend Jimmy was being a dick in front of us and throwing pennies out his windows which were hitting Thad’s VW Rabbit.  So I took a piss in a Carl’s Jr. cup and filled it up all the way cuz we had been drinking beers all day on the beach.  We came to a kind of a traffic jam and we pretended everything was all cool like, and pulled up to Jimmy, motioned for him to roll down his window.  I had the cup in my hand but with a lid and straw so it looked like the real deal.  He rolled down his window with a big grin on his face.  As soon as he did, before he could even flinch he was covered and I mean covered in recycled beer.  It was pretty epic.  He was fucking pissed.  

I actually felt as though this was just a new Yorkers nice way of sharing can’t help if the other person can’t catch lol. My hubby drives a truck and I remember our first time driving in new York we had to go by time square buuuut the best part was first we only had a car GPS (wow we really had no idea) so we made a wrong turn and ended up in a tight spot blocking new York traffic at 630 am…..holy shit I thought I had road rage then ending up at the Holland tunnel where unbeknownst to us at thetime trucks cant go so we were escorted by cops back wow what a first time in NY

I think my husband has everyone beat. A few years ago, he was making the long drive to drill early on a Saturday morning. He passed some people on the interstate who were going below the speed limit and they, for whatever reason, decided to get a case of the ass about it. They sped up, acted like they were going to sideswipe him, got in front of him, hit the brakes, didn’t let him pass, etc.

He tried slowing down to let them get ahead of him figuring they’d keep going and after a while, wouldn’t be a problem. They slowed down too. After fifteen minutes of that crap, he was seriously pissed and it didn’t look like they were ever going to stop. He finally got alongside of them–they were still in the passing lane.

He grabbed the first thing–a coffee cup he’d been using as a spitter. It exploded all over their windshield.

I AM!

Pretty sure this is the guy who spent ten day in the outhouse after camping season was over. His wallet fell down into the muck and was floating on top. He lowered himself down and tried to grab it with his feet. He slipped and spent 10 days waist deep in shit until someone found him. His 10 gallon Cowboy hat was perfectly covering the seat

He was fucking pissed.  

In more ways than one, I’m sure!

why do u feel u have to break the law to get somewhere quicker? just leave earlier people like u are the problem on our roads.

She deserved more.

I have been in HR for what seems like a lifetime and but one thing I always tell employees – know your audience.  You may be trying to play with the wrong person this time. 

Douchenozzle lol

I was in the car with my 75 yr old grandma once she was driving, there was some “douchnozzle” ;0) up her pooper ;0) lol they got to a light she opened the trunk got out went up to the guys car and said “why dont you just hop in i’ll drive you wherever you gotta go” lol

Btw totally stole tim bates words douchenozzle and pooper lol

i’m not playing with morbid just telling him how i feel.he  knows everybody don’t agree with him all the time.

To drive successfully in ny you must have no fear lol and dont ever hesitate just go lol i wouldnt drive there for yrs and my sons dad lived there so finally i did, defensive driving is the only way, once this huge chick was trying to pull into my lane from a parking space but i was already a bit past her in bumper to bumper traffic i opened my window and said where u want mento go this bitch took off her stanky shoe and threatened to beat my son in the passenger seat with it

My sons friends were telling stories at one of their buddies funerals last yr about time they spent with me and jeremy on vacations trips to the music store or the mall and one boy/guy said “oh damn i remember almost everytime we went in your moms car it was like roadrage every time” lol when my kids and other kids are in the car my leo comes out momma lion gets very upset, i am much better these days :0) could be the meds

How could u half eat a sundae damn waste

Apparently in Puerto Rico NO ONE HAS DECIDED TO BRING THIS LAW nor there is the smidge or trace of this law.

We are about 20,000 bicycles and Vespa bikes away from driving like a 3rd world country.

There IS no passing lane, the shoulder of the road on the right you know, after that solid white line: that road is not for emergencies but for passing other people too unless the cops are ahead, parked on that same road to catch people & they’re not on their break/cellphones.

All driving lanes are for passing people. Vehicle turning/lane switching lights are (apparently) optional in vehicles and if you DID purchase one with the lights *hits SARCASM button*, you can only use them with the cops around.

Road signs only apply if cops are looking your way, and this also includes road lights. No need to watch out for railways, moose, deer, bears wild animal crossings or icy road conditions. MUST watch out for ARMED ASSHOLES on the road conditions & assume everyone is.

Dominican Republic is EVEN WORSE than this.

Like a toddler throwing a potentially deadly tantrum!  Damn, why can’t people get a grip these days?

You mean every woman, but you. And by you, you mean me. Because I drive perfectly.

While I do understand your frustration since I drive offensively not defensively and leave early, I can assure you that the “fast” drivers will never get it. This will be a mute point so you should just give up.

Plus, my husband likes driving fast. So what does he do? He has a hot rod to drive competively, he gets to drive it fucking fast & get it out of his system.

so how is driving 70 my fault 70 is not driving slow

Yea, whore is kinda my pet name at home. 

Dammit! We’re not all terrible drivers. I’ll give you the majority are, but I promise you I can drive like a champ. Otherwise I don’t think the boys would approve my vehicle choices. 

true next time i will

This is a fairly common term – can’t believe you guys haven’t seen it before.

I have but it cracks me up lol

Yea,better “Buster”,than Busted,or Smashed on the pavement.

Exactly where do you live ? Because in most places the left lane is the passing lane,and I know this applies in Texas.

 Keep’n it real usually goes wrong 

LOL … I don’t think steelpin is going to learn quite that fast … he hasn’t been around long enough to know which peeps will give him passes,and which are going to drop the anvil on his head yet.

I still have mine as an old backup in case my phone goes down. Those things never die!

Speed Demon    

I refuse to let Morbid’s “women driver” comment irritate me since it doesn’t apply to me. Like when TR said “whore wife”. LOL

My personality is to do things well or not do them at all so I made it a point to become a good driver. 

I like cars and I like driving. It’s one of my hobbies. My bf’s have yet to let me get a motorcycle because it’s too dangerous here, if they thought I’d kill myself driving like a fucknut they certainly would curtail my vehicle choices. 
Happily if we move to Seattle and the quiet roads of desert Cali are near I’m getting a motorcycle! 

Yeah, it sounds gross as all hell, but I bet those people will think again about driving like asshats.From what the hubs said, it was a well-deserved punishment.

Only thing that would’ve made this story better is if their windows had been open.

What kind do you want? I desperately want a bike as well but with the children being young that concerns me. I am seriously considering purchasing one with the next 2 years though.

You ? Depends on who you’re dealing with and what day it is. I usually toss a coin on you.

He said the passenger did indeed have her window down, so it was very likely she got some splatter. I did not mention it because I was thinking some readers might not make it to a trashcan in time lol.

Those quiet desert roads you mention could in fact be the death of you on a bike;that sand has been known to blow onto those quiet roads and  it can be very treacherous to a biker.I used to live in Yuma,Az.

Live where we have more blacktop roads than paved roads.

well i never gave a fellow trooper a ticket thats what made me a dick because i let a trooper go one day when he was drunk about 25 years ago and he could have killed someone.i was new on the force and trying to get along with everyone and from that day on i said i would never do that again and i didn’t.i gave two troopers over the years a dwi.

like i said i wish i would have arrested him back then i was wrong i know that.

Well, we all have to go sometime I suppose. All things considered I’d rather take my chances with the sand than geriatric drivers who should have turned in their licenses 20 years ago which is the majority of drivers on the road in Florida. 

You are evil.

Ok and thank you for bestowing that title to me, I reluctantly accept.

  If being someone who understands that traffic models and light timing (yes even ones with magnetic sensors are still timed) are based of the IDEAL* you are traveling at a constant given speed, like i dunno lets say THE POSTED LIMIT. Not only are these models based on a constant speed, but on the assumption you wont take 4 blocks to get your Prius back to  the posted limit after having to stop. Then Guilty. You have never wondered why YOU seem to  hit every light red ? Because your driving to damn slow. 

And for the record, have many speeding tickets, not a single accident. My fault or not, because  I realize Im controlling a 5 ton death hammer when I start my truck, and pay the fuck attention to what im doing, and what every other retard on a phone or ass clown in a Prius is doing. Almost like it could kill me or someone else if I dont.

Dang it Zazen! Stop being so considerate. Just tell the story!

Holy fucking dog shit,

Your reply just made me LOL @ wor k….. Nice and thanks!

 Sorry, I don’t know who that is and it’s my bedtime now.

I am not even going to ask…

I prefer imaginative.

Vinnie Jones from Lock, Stock dude. See above.

That’s funny! 

Yea it’s the same guy from Snatch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K77ehXQqLg

You should. But even though you didn’t, I try and give you the short of it using a bit of Wiki. Excuse any misspellings.

Stella Liebeck,79, ordered a 49-cent cup of coffee from the drive-through window of a McDonald’s. Liebeck was in the passenger’s seat of her grandson’s Ford Probe. Her grandson parked so that Liebeck could add cream and sugar to her coffee. When Liebeck tried to remove the lid from the coffee she was holding between her knees (Probe didn’t have anywhere to set coffee), she accidentally spilled the entire cup of coffee in her lap.

Her cotton sweatpants absorbed the 180–190 °F coffee, scalding her thighs, buttocks, and groin. She was rushed to the hospital where it was determined that she had suffered third-degree burns on six percent of her skin and lesser burns over sixteen percent. She remained in the hospital for eight days while she underwent skin grafting. You can see photos of her injuries from the documentary HOT COFFEE, and they are absolutely horrendous. Two years of medical treatment followed.

She did not try to sue McDonald’s for millions of dollars, she tried to get them to pay for her medical bills. Her past medical expenses were $10,500, her future medical expenses were approximately $2,500, and her loss of income was approximately $5,000. She asked McDonald’s for $20,000 and they refused. She then hired an attorney.

Her suit accused McDonald’s of “gross negligence” for selling coffee that was “unreasonably dangerous” and “defectively manufactured”. McDonald’s refused to settle for $90,000, then $300,000, and finally – per a mediator’s suggestion — $225,000. So off to trial they went. 

A twelve-person jury found that McDonald’s was 80% responsible for the incident and Liebeck was 20% at fault. They awarded Liebeck $200,000 in compensatory damages, which was reduced to $160,000.

They awarded her $2.7 million in punitive damages, arriving at this figure by using McDonald’s coffee revenues for one or two days, which were about $1.35 million per day. They stated the only way to get a corporation to change a policy was to hit them in the pocketbook. The judge reduced this to $480,000, for a total of $640,000. The decision was appealed; Liebeck and McDonald’s settling out of court for an undisclosed amount less than $600,000. Not the MILLIONS people like to parrot whenever this case comes up. 

Most people, when bringing up this case, are completely unaware of the actual details of this case; usually stating an old woman spilled hot coffee on herself while driving then sued McDonald’s for two million dollars.

Aside from the details I just posted, what most do not know was that McDonald’s knew their coffee was being served at a temperature that could cause severe burns. From 1982 to 1992 the company had received more than 700 reports of people burned by McDonald’s coffee to varying degrees of severity, and had settled claims arising from scalding injuries for more than $500,000.

McDonald’s quality control manager, Christopher Appleton, testified that this number of injuries, and the money they had paid out as a result, was insufficient to cause the company to evaluate its practices even though he agreed McDonald’s coffee would burn the mouth and throat if consumed when served.

But corporations didn’t let a successful lawsuit stop them and they turned lemons into lemonade by tricking the public into thinking that this was a frivolous lawsuit that was helping to raise insurance rates.

The average public got behind the corporations and helped vote in tort reforms that negated their own abilities to sue a corporation for negligence, or by giving a judge, who sucks on corporate teat, the ability to severely reduce the amount of damages a jury of someone’s peers may award someone suing a corporation after hearing the evidence.

In other words, our government will trust a 12 person jury to recommend someone be put to death, but not decide how much a corporation found guilty of negligence should pay in damages.

Funny thing is that the truth to this McDonald’s coffee lawsuit has always been out there for anyone to find, but most just choose to keep stating regurgitating the false facts they may have.

The HOT COFFEE documentary was released last year that I recommend everyone watch and then afterwards go check with your state to see exactly how hobbled you are in what you can do legally if a doctor kills you or a loved one, or your vehicle’s brakes fail leaving you severely injured and your kid dead from burning to death.

You may be surprised to find out that you actively voted to fuck yourself because of the bullshit that was falsely reported in the hot coffee case.

And this is all coming from me, a known PRO corporation whore.

Hey, I was fooled as well. Most everyone was. It wasn’t until I was doing some research on something else that I found the actual facts of the case and was blown away.

But I gotta give credit to those corporate leaders. Despite any if the negative adjectives that can be attributed to them, they truly are the smartest guys in the room. With the right checks and balances in place, I’d take them running this country over a politician any day of the week,

It’s a story by itself.  Hand it to Pete

 Interesting. She is white.  My impression from heresay was that she was black.  I always thought it had a racist vibe to it. Again, I never researched it.
