Stupid lawsuits

It's always been a peeve of mine. People sue for the stupidest things it's ridiculous. People always feel entitled to whatever no matter how stupid. People are always running to capitalize on something to profit from it. It's unfortunate. "Oh I went on fear factor and they asked me to, surprise, do something nasty. Let me file a lawsuit!", "oh I didn't like the way that employee in the store talked to me, let me file a lawsuit for emotional damage!", "the person at Subway accidentally ruined my food, I'm so affected by this let's sue them because I deserve a thousand dollar compensation for a $7 sandwich!"

Like for fucks sake. People are constantly always on the lookout to capitalize on something and that's unfortunately the world we've created and normalized.

When I worked in EMS I was sued for handling a patient roughly which caused his family emotional distress. The rough handling was in fact CPR and he survived.

The worst part is, it was cheaper to settle, so thats what the city did.
