@@lindarodman5014 Absolutely. My paternal grandfather had to leave school at age 11, when his father died. _Somebody_ had to work the farm in order to feed his mother and his 9 or 10 siblings (I can never remember). He was only in 3rd grade, as he could only attend school outside the growing season -- and in Tidewater VA, the growing season runs from March through October. Well, Granddaddy may have been short on formal education, but he never stopped educating himself. When he died, the entire community turned out. We heard so many stories of his secret generosity, and every story had the same ending: "He didn't wait around to be thanked, and we knew he didn't want to talk about it, so we kept quiet." He was an even more materially prosperous man than we knew. Only a third grade education, and I swear, he's one of the smartest people I've ever known. I'm a little proud of my Granddaddy. Can you tell?
I worked for a high powered divorce attorney, he handles mostly wealthy couples who had a lot of stuff to fight over. He agreed to represent a wife and as she was preparing to leave he repeatedly told her that.she was in no way to contact her ex, or sign anything, or answer any questions from her ex; that from now on the attorneys would do the talking. Imagine his surprise when she called the office a day or two later and asked if it was okay that she had signed over the house several cars and a boat to her husband because he asked her to.
Down Under (Australia) its impossible to put the wrong petrol (gas) nozzle in your car, cos they're different sizes. Odd that they dont have that in the US.
US gas nozzles are different sizes too. The diesel nozzle is larger than the gasoline nozzle. Of course, that won’t prevent someone from putting gas into a diesel vehicle.
This validates my deep conviction that people in general are both stupid and dangerous. What is most terrifying is that these people vote, and this latest election cycle bears out my worst fears.
Our firm represented the Hard Rock Cafe in our state. We got the job because they were expanding into our state. Some genius filed for the copyright, with our Secretary of State. He thought he could get HRC to buy him out. He hired a couple of guys who were obviously out of their depth. None of them knew that HRC has INTERNATIONAL copyrights, which has precedence over ALL OTHER COPYRIGHTS. Dreams were crushed in less than 15 minutes.
Well, eons ago ( late 80's or early 90's..) in Buffalo there was a restaurant/bar in my Allentown area called the Elmwood Outback. OK place , hangs on a few yrs then.. Aussies move into suburban Amherst ( 20+ miles ) & bullied them into a name change:(. Elmwood Cozumel did fairly well afterwards but I moved away in 2000. Go Bill$:)!
Don’t get involved with class action lawsuits. The only one that gets any real money out of them is the lawyer. In fact most class action lawsuits are started by lawyers. I was asked to join a class action lawsuit against a big company once because I used to subscribe to their service. I would have received a whopping $1.18 for my trouble. There were around a thousand people involved in the multi million dollar lawsuit. They only paid out just over a thousand dollars total to those involved.
There's a scene in the movie _The Jerk_ in which the title character loses a class action lawsuit and has to write a million personal cheques for $1.09 each. _Pay to the order of... Mrs. Wilbur Starks... one dollar AND NINE CENTS!... Pay to the order of... Iron Balls McGinty... one dollar AND NINE CENTS!..._
6:20 That's the kind of guy who collide with a lamp post in the middle of an empty parking lot and claim that the lamp post suddenly «jumped» in front of his car. 8:00 That restraining order INCLUDE not coming within a given distance from the house at any time. It even include coming to close to her car parked on the street, and her work place at any time. So, 10000% count.
I served on a jury for a DUI accident case (single vehicle, driver/defendant was the only injury, some property damage). The defendant's lawyer was GOOD. He managed to get all of the State's evidence thrown out on some of the strangest technicalities I had ever heard. As a result, due to lack of evidence, either the judge would've been required to dismiss the charges, or we the jury would've been required to find the defendant Not Guilty. The defendant (against legal advice) demanded to make a statement just before the defense's closing. The judge confirmed 3 times: A- The defendant was aware he was acting against the legal advice of his lawyer, and as such he was waiving his ability for a mistrial/retrial due to lack of proper legal representation. B- Anything the defendant said or did in the courtroom was being recorded, and could be used against him in this case as well as any future cases, both Civil and Criminal. C- The defense attorney would not be held accountable for anything the defendant said or did in the courtroom. The defendant agreed all 3 times and, during his almost 10 minute long statement, admitted he had been drinking just before the accident, but he could handle his alcohol, so he wasn't too drunk to drive, and as such he wanted the judge to rule that he shouldn't have to pay for the damages he caused because it was OBVIOUSLY not his fault. After informing the defendant that such a ruling was outside the judge's jurisdiction, the judge made sure there wasn't anything else either side wanted to add before we were sent to the jury room. It actually took us longer to decide on a jury fore-person (about 2 minutes) than to find the defendant Guilty by a unanimous vote. The lawyer was very professional. He kept his expression neutral, and he did not say or do anything negative to or about his client where we could observe it. Though I'm fairly sure he had a few things to say to his client in private.
I read about a prisoner who sued himself for using drugs and committing a crime, and he wanted the state to pay him what he would win, since he was broke. That got tossed out.
Well technically speaking, putting ice in any given container, will inevitably reduce the available volume for any liquid. So just order you drink without the ice. Problem solved!
A lot of fast food drive through now measure the amount of 8ce and beverage. So when you order a drink without ice, you still get the same amount of beverage, it just doesn't get watered down by melting ice.
If a person sues themselves how does the loser pay the victor without enriching the loser, or is that a question along the "Hold my beer and watch this" next to the river
Wait a minute. Putting ice in one's drink DOES reduce the amount of actual drink they serve you. I've proved this by filling cups myself (at fast food places where you get your own drink after they give you the cup). Whereas nobody eats a chicken wing TIP because it's just cartilage with skin on it. Not that you should sue over the drink, issue that's just dumb.
Yes, as a matter of fact they are. The diesel nozzle are larger in diameter than the gas ones, and won't fit into the gas filler tube on a car. Plus, they're color coded.
4:39 is real. My husband started smoking m. and we had the problem that skin-to-skin contact was raising my heart rate. 7:16 is the plot of an old Japanese movie, "The man in the mask."
1:50 As an European, I think the example the lawyer presented IS cause for a law suit. Two thirds of the cup are ice and the actual drink is only one third? WTF?
It really depends on where you live. In South Africa there are some super hot places. If someone gives you a drink that isn't packed to the rafters with ice you would probably give them an earful at minimum, but court cases for ridiculous shit like this aren't really a thing there.
The scary part is that these people can vote. “I love the uneducated “
That explains the result in the latest American elections...
Now you know why the orange one is in the WH…
Uneducated is one thing, stupid is another

Most of these "clients" sound like their parents are cousins .......
I was thinking siblings
…. Or siblings…
I once successfully sued myself for incompetency and won, the evidence was overwhelming.🤪
I dont know. Seeing you could actually put a sentence together, I dont believe you!
Down Under (Australia) its impossible to put the wrong petrol (gas) nozzle in your car, cos they're different sizes. Odd that they dont have that in the US.
US gas nozzles are different sizes too. The diesel nozzle is larger than the gasoline nozzle. Of course, that won’t prevent someone from putting gas into a diesel vehicle.
American here, and yeah I agree. Way too many people can’t figure how a gas pump works. It’s a bit embarrassing.
The pumps are clearly marked as DIESEL, and, are usually not next to the gas pumps.
Canada too. You can't fit a diesel hose in a regular gas tank. Story sounds fishy.
They’re different here in the US, too. That dude must have been determined.

There are no signs of political affiliation anywhere in the video.

4:23 - in the US, aren't the nozzles on the pumps and the filler pipes on the cars sized so you can't put diesel in by mistake? They are in the UK.
Yes they are. It would have to be a pretty old car to make a mistake like that.
Yep…dude was very determined to get that cheap gas!
Yes, as a matter of fact they are. The diesel nozzle are larger in diameter than the gas ones, and won't fit into the gas filler tube on a car. Plus, they're color coded.
They do have different sized pump nozzles in the U.S. I live in the Midwest.
@0:07 i Yes, you *can* sue Burger King for not serving pancakes you case will most likely be thrown out by the judge as frivolous.

The actual drink is mostly water.
@@thomasw.eggers4303 And that water is pretty stingy on the hydrogen.
You know you can ask for "no ice", right?
It really depends on where you live. In South Africa there are some super hot places. If someone gives you a drink that isn't packed to the rafters with ice you would probably give them an earful at minimum, but court cases for ridiculous shit like this aren't really a thing there.
