Today, I was at the McDonalds drive-thru getting my morning coffee, when some guy slammed into the back of my car. I'm so happy I was holding the cup between my legs at that very moment, because now I have 2nd degree burns on my lady parts. FML

This violates the laws of physics and inertia... fake, unless you can explain how it tipped backwards

liquid tends to move in many directions when the shock of a car crash comes around:)

Actually, most cars in germany do not come with cup holders (seriously). It is something about driving being the main priority (because there is no speed limit on the Autobahn) and not drinking or being distracted. Also, you can get beer at some rest areas--which I thought was kind of weird considering the "be responsible and pay attention" rule that dissalows cup holders.
Actually, depending on the force of the impact, inertia would be the cause of it spilling on her, as her and her coffee cup would move forward while the coffee would want to stay in place, causing it to splash backwards from her point of view.

I clicked YDI because I just didn't like how you worded it. But I'm happy that I have that option!
#101 - On 11/05/2009 at 1:47am by mystomachurts
Okay. No cupholders in Germany. Man slams into the back of her. She is not from America. And liquid tends to have a mind of its own. Also, ouch.
Actually, it does NOT contradict the laws of inertia. Were not talking about a sudden DEceleration here, we're talking about a sudden ACceleration. Particle was initially at rest and suddenly experienced a forwards kinetic energy. The cup travels forward forcefully but the liquid is still momentarily 'rest' at that point of place, which is quickly replaced by the 'lady's parts'. So in retrospect, the coffee did not spash onto the lady's parts. The lady's parts slammed into the unsuspected coffee =P
Poor innocent coffee...
which begs the question: why the lack of a lid? YDI for not having one!
#64: good job. you beat me to it.
#73: don't tell people to shut the fuck up just because they are more intelligent than you.. cuz what you said basically give people the impression that 'shut up' is about the only worthless fucking comeback your tiny little grey-mattered brain of yours can produce. Which, by the way, appears to be less than a 5 year old's.
Everything inside the car that can move will move backwards when you are hit in the back. It's basic physics. Maybe you should study some classical physics before making such statements.

Considering most luxury cars are German, and do have cup holders... i'd say you just made a bs comment.
#126 - On 11/05/2009 at 9:35pm by seetherage
I've had 4 cars. A Porsche- No cup holders, A Ford- No cup holders, A Chevy S-10- no cup holders, and an MGZT- no cup holders. One German car, two American cars, and one British car and None of them had cup holders. Not to mention that just because the OP is in Germany means she has a German car, nor a luxury car for that matter. My friends Corvette does not have cup holders, I could go on and on...

Unfortunately it's too late to sue, that old lady beat ya to it.
#2 - On 11/04/2009 at 4:49pm by ihatestupidppl
She lives in Germany, so she doesn't have access to a sufficiently insane legal system and thus MacDonalds will not be sued.
Unlike that famous old lady, she didn't drop the coffee on herself, though - another driver took care of that. Probably would have created a similar result if she had held the coffee in her hands. (Or indeed in a cup-holder - these things are not designed to hold coffee safe in the event you are hit by another car.)
So she still has someone to sue: the driver of the other car. If everything happened as described she will receive some monetary compensation for her pain (and the damage to her car, obviously). She won't become a millionaire though.
Actually, the woman in the famous suit did not get $1 million. It was between $600-700 thousand.
#83 - On 11/04/2009 at 11:20pm by ScaryyMary
Also, she only asked McDonald's for $20,000 to pay her medical expense. She had 3rd-degree burns and needed skin grafts. McDonald's were such dicks about it that the jury awarded $2.7M but the judge reduced it to $640K.
Ydi for trying to drink coffee with the wrong set of lips
#4 - On 11/04/2009 at 4:57pm by Fresh2death2021
I may have to read this in it's entirety, as I just skimmed the posting. But, if you got slammed from behind, how did your lips get burned?
HAHAHA! No kidding, its not an Arby's franchise, it was McDonalds
#33 - On 11/04/2009 at 5:55pm by donkey_hang_down
The liquid is free-standing, retard. When the car gets hit, it, along with her and the cup, go forward. The liquid - in this case coffee - remains where it is, and either goes up and over the rim of the cup, or out the mouthpiece, assuming there is one. It would defy the laws of physics and inertia if the coffee has all gone forward. YDI, for not using a cupholder. X3
#123 - On 11/05/2009 at 7:25pm by schmashbox
That sucks... I hope you got that idiot back by making a turn and coming back to the drive-thru, then slamming his car right when the lady was giving him the meal... Yea that would've been nice.
#7 - On 11/04/2009 at 4:59pm by chellinha93
Ya know, horrible tragedies like this could be avoided if only someone in the automotive industry would invent some sort of special receptacle in the car in which a person could safely stow their beverage while driving. Some sort of holder for your cup. Well... maybe if it were a perfect world.....
way to read the comments before yours. they already explained cars in germany don't have cupholders, genius.
to the op tho, there's a reason they don't have cupholders. you're not supposed to be drinking while you drive. i still don't wanna say ydi tho, that just sucks so bad.
Maybe instead of the "Caution: contents will be hot" on the lid they should put the much more useful recommendation of not holding it between your legs... since apparently no one can figure this out by themselves.
Seriously, you would think keeping extremely hot things away from your genitalia would be some sort of instinct...but yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if that little warning label popped up soon too.
#17 - On 11/04/2009 at 5:15pm by ihatestupidppl
Hehe I could make a pun about hot coffe and San andreas :P...but I hope it didn't mess your car up too badly :(" apply ice where needed".
#14 - On 11/04/2009 at 5:10pm by CH33RL34D3R
McDonald's has the hottest mother fucking coffee too. You should have thrown that Hot Son of a Bitch Coffee on the asshole that hit you! Sounds like you need some tender loving care for that snatch of yours...
Wow. You're an idiot. FYL because you don't have enough common sense to realize scalding cups of coffee should never sit idle in your lap.
#22 - On 11/04/2009 at 5:22pm by Hannah_Brooke
Don't hold a cup of coffee between your legs! Hold my head, instead! ;)
Mmmm. I smell hot, roast beef!
@any idiots who thought people were telling her to sue mcdonalds: They were telling her to sue the man, retards.
#24 - On 11/04/2009 at 5:24pm by st4rbucksisevil
YDI for being stupid enough to put coffee between your legs. It's stupid moves like that that lead to BS lawsuits from people boohooing because they burned themselves. FYL for the asshat hitting you, but geez, common sense. Lastly, McDonalds coffee? Drinking your own vomit would surely taste better.
YDI For going to McDonalds for coffee. You could have atleast gone to a fucking starbucks.
#29 - On 11/04/2009 at 5:48pm by ohmygoodnex
Right on man, Starbucks fucking sucks. Like seriously it's not even that it's so expensive, it really just does not taste good in any way...
#94 - On 11/05/2009 at 1:04am by Dixie_Normous
YDI for using the drivethru to get coffee. Park your car and get your ass out of your car to go get coffee. Its idiots like yourself who are responsible for global warming by leaving their cars idling while waiting in a drive thru line for coffee.
Actually it's probably a good thing. Now you can sue the driver and get even more money out of him/her.
next time go with the iced coffee. also, don't hold it between your legs instead use a cup holder.
#41 - On 11/04/2009 at 6:24pm by hercules268
STFU, yanks. Sure, in the US you can sue someone for looking at you the wrong way. In sane places, the other guy would be responsible for damages to her car, but not for damages resulting from storing hot coffee in your crotch. Maybe if the damage done was purely his fault, like whiplash, but not something like this.
FYL to the OP, though. Not your best idea, but then again, you don't really expect this kinda shit to happen in the minute you have the coffee there. Shit happens, at least you got an interesting story (sort of) out of this one.
Oh my. You sure have a problems with Americans, huh? I've seen you slam us in so many posts! :p

why r u happy about that? Internet sarcasm doesn't work you know...
#46 - On 11/04/2009 at 6:40pm by IceCream53423
@Jotne
If it wasn't for us "Yanks"...you wouldn't be posting posting your comment on the INTERNET right now and you would be speaking GERMAN.
#49 - On 11/04/2009 at 7:03pm by I_Call_Fake
Um, no, I'm pretty sure Norwegians speak a little language known as Norwegian. Dumbasses.
#79 - On 11/04/2009 at 11:08pm by sephirothyeti
The first guy said the person would be speaking German, he was referencing the US and WWII. I assumed the first guy to post wasnt talking about the language being written on the website, as you are correct, it does look like english to me.
Yes Norwegian is a North Germanic Language. That does not mean it is a dialect of German. That means it is a Scandinavian language that has roots in Proto-Germanic. It is related to German, but not a dialect of German.
#117 - On 11/05/2009 at 1:18pm by sephirothyeti
According to your logic, English is a dialect of German.
#128 - On 11/05/2009 at 11:25pm by sephirothyeti
Oh, that's right, because Americans invented English, I forgot that they taught us this in school, and that they actually traveled to England to start a new colony. Not to mention that it is mandatory in European schools to learn MORE than just one language, and it has been this way for quite sometime. So you're a fucking dumb ass for thinking that 87 percent of the countries in the world are owned by America.
#141 - On 11/08/2009 at 6:23pm by Muchomastrbation
OWWWWWW :(
That's painful, OP. Sorry. FYL.
Had that happen to me before. Hurts like nothing else.
Try getting coffee from someplace else, without a drive-thru.
You should sue the man who rear-ended you. People like that scream "STUPIDITY" on every level.
#51 - On 11/04/2009 at 7:14pm by MermaidSongXOXO
well how the hell is he suppose to know that she had coffee between her legs? k hes dumb for rear-ending her car but she should've used this new device thats been invented not a long time ago, its called COP-HOLDER!!
Cop-holder? Never heard of one of those before. Next time try making sure you don't look like an absolute fool before trying to call someone else a fool.
OP: Ouch.
#115 - On 11/05/2009 at 12:27pm by drummer_dude
That's a stupid thing to be happy about. I'd be miserable : /
#53 - On 11/04/2009 at 7:21pm by LEPOfficer
Yes but he still be speaking english reagardless of whether the US was involved in WWII. You see, Norwegian is his first language, English his second. So even if he did speak German as a result of us not defeating Germany, he would still have to learn English as a second language to use it on this website.
Regardless of the outcome of the war, he would need to learn his second,language (English) for him to communicate with us as he did.
But he wouldn't be using the internet if it wasn't for the US anyway.
#60 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:32pm by I_Call_Fake
It's hard to say who invented the Internet, but according to the first homepage ever, it was invented in Europe. Sorry.

I get the feeling you'd be just as surprised to find McDonald's in another state.
While we're blowing your mind, did you know people play video games in third world countries? And they have cars and buildings and electricity and and and
#68 - On 11/04/2009 at 9:24pm by Nakedsquirrel
It could have been worse, you could have been a guy and gotten 2nd degree burns on your man parts.
#61 - On 11/04/2009 at 8:47pm by RuralNinja
For everyone saying that at least she isn't a guy, the skin on "lady parts" is mostly mucous membranes... they are MUCH more sensitive. You are essentially comparing getting a burn on your hand versus getting one on the inside of your nose.
FAKE. this is a classic mcdonalds lawsuit that everybody knows about.
#75 - On 11/04/2009 at 10:16pm by embarrassedsis
Oh yes, because if it happens once it cannot happen again.
#140 - On 11/08/2009 at 6:14pm by Muchomastrbation
For all the idiots who say YDI becuase she put it between her legs. what the hell do you expect her to do she's in a drive through with no cup holders, where the hell was she suppose to put it lol it would've fell either way! Anyways OP that really sucks! My heart goes out to you that would be so painful! I can't dare say YDI becuase I don't think you did! Good luck healing and I hope your okay.
You ever think maybe she was on her way to work? Maybe she didn't have time to go inside. Not to mention, I find it VERY hard to believe that you have never been through a fast food drive through before.
Yeah, I dabbled with the idea that maybe she was on her way to work. But if your a responsible person, you would leave yourself enough time to stop for breakfast and then head to work. If she was running late, then she's irresponsible.
I have to be at work at 6:00am. It takes me a 30 minutes to get to work. I leave an hour early to stop for breakfast, and still get to work either be on time (depending on traffic) or earlier.
And yes, I've been through a drive-thru before. That is before I was able to drive though. I never go through the drive-thru because Im not lazy. I can walk the 25 feet from my car to the counter and back, and majority of the time, I get my food faster and leave before the lazy people who opt to use the drive thru.
Anyone else?
Ydi for being a dumbass and going to mcdonalds fatass

Tell the guy to come over coz your pussy is hot and wet. then throw a coffee on his nuts.

I'll rub some aloe vera on it for you if you'd like. :-D

Serves you right for drinking mcdonalds coffee. That stuff is awful.
#100 - On 11/05/2009 at 1:44am by smackieonassis
Well, I don't like any coffee, so yeah, coffee is awful! You deserve ANYTHING that happens to you while in the vicinity of any coffee! Gods, man, do you have any idea how stupid you sound?
OP: Might wanna get a cup holder installed. But gripes, FYL. Hope the idiot at least isn't trying to get out of fixing things.
Well, seeing as you would've probably gotten burned anyway, this is definitely FYL material, although holding the cup between your legs was a pretty stupid thing to do. I hope you plan on filing charges against the ass.
#103 - On 11/05/2009 at 4:36am by blastvortex
That seriously sucks... that happened to me with hot tea. i have scars =[
#111 - On 11/05/2009 at 11:12am by nikkidoodle
A lot of cars DON'T have cup holders. My boyfriend collects Nizzan "Z"'s and his 1993 300zx z32 doesn't have any and neither does his '87 z31. So she's not an idiot for having it in her lap because she may not have had any holders. OR she may have had a cigarette holder in her ONE cup holder.
#118 - On 11/05/2009 at 1:30pm by kissthesky
ok we get the point you don't need to brag about all your cars. seriously i gets annoying. idk if you were trying to annoy people but it really does get annoying
#143 - On 11/09/2009 at 8:50pm by xclegend613
WTF are you doing drinking coffee while driving? FFS, you're a loser for doing that, despite what a bozo the other driver was rear-ending you.
#130 - On 11/06/2009 at 3:36am by cartoonelvis
1. she was in the drive though (you know mcdonald's makes coffee right?)
2. she had coffee BETWEEN HER LEGS how the fuck do you drink coffee like that?
3. shut up
OP: that's what cup holders are for. sucks if your car doesn't have them.
#134 - On 11/06/2009 at 3:55pm by 42billybob
I can't wait to see this case in court. Can the plaintiff present evidence of these second degree burns?
#136 - On 11/06/2009 at 9:21pm by RHOPKINS13
you clearly didn't hear about the McDonalds case a few years ago where the lady spilled the coffee all over her "lady parts". not only have they been required to lower the temperature of their coffee, but most fucktards learned to not keep hot liquid there! my bmw doesn't have cup holders either, but im smart enough to rig something with my purse and the passenger seat so i don't end up like you.... YDI
