A Connecticut man traveling from London to New York recently suffered third-degree burns to his right hand and first- and second-degree burns to his left hand when his electronic cigarette overheated. It was charging in the outlet and began smoldering in the seat-back pocket in front of him after he fell asleep.
Naturally, being a member of the most litigious society in the world, the man has decided to file suit.
Yep, the man, Eric T. Wiberg, says it’s Norwegian Air Shuttle’s fault in the first place for even letting him charge his device. The suit was filed in Brooklyn federal court.
Presumably, he is suing over a faulty outlet, but in court papers he said the incident would never have happened if Norwegian Air had not allowed him to charge the device in the first place.
When the e-cigarette began to overheat and smolder, Wiberg awoke from the smell and the “panicked crew,” as described in the suit, quickly ran over with a bucket of water.
Wiberg said he sustained the burns to his hands when he grabbed the device and plunged it into the bucket.
Yes, You read that right this total moron is blaming someone else's electrical socket for his shitty device and choices.
This is as frivolous as frivolous gets.
It's up there with the guy who tried to sue red bull when he didn't grow wings
Welcome to a place where people have become so pussified that if they are in a room full of people and as little as a single person uses a word they don't like they demand to be placed in a safe space.
A place where YOU can be a total fuck up and sue somebody else for it.
If our forefathers could have somehow seen into the future they all would have either committed mass suicide or just went back to england - 5150
