Idiot Eats Cheese & Sues McDonalds

J.J. Jackson* | August 20, 2007

Ever get the wrong thing from a McDonalds drive-thru? We all have. For me, usually 1 in every 3 orders I get from a fast food restaurant drive-thru is botched and anyone with an IQ over 30 knows that you check your food to make sure it is right. But not Jeromy Jackson (no relation) apparently!

Another cheesy lawsuit has been sprung on McDonalds, this time over a botched hold the cheese order from 2005.A West Virginia man ate his cheese topped burger in the dark, unaware they had mixed up his order and put cheese on his burger.

Now the cheese allergic man wants $10 million

Not just him, but his mother and his friend too. Did we mention it all happened back in 2005?

Jeromy Jackson, who is in his early 20s, says he “clearly” ordered two Quarter Pounders without cheese at the McDonald’s restaurant in Star City before heading to Clarksburg, West Virginia.

According to the Charleston Daily Mail, “His mother Trela Jackson and friend Andrew Ellifritz are parties to the lawsuit because they say they risked their lives rushing Jeromy to United Hospital Center in Clarksburg.”

The lawyers who drafted the lawsuit claimed he “was only moments from death” or serious injury by the time he reached the hospital.

So, McDonalds messes up your order and you are too stupid to watch what you are eating knowing that you are allergic to cheese and that you have just ordered a hamburger from a restaurant that often puts cheese on it’s food? Call me crazy, but if I were that deathly allergic to cheese I would probably NOT be ordering food from a restaurant that has cheese all over the place and where I might be exposed to a bun that might have just glanced a slice at some point!

But then again I have an intelligence above that of a ripe tomato too!

This lawsuit is frivolous. Mr. Jackson accepted the risk that his order might not be right when he ordered it and neglected to check his meal for something that only he (not McDonalds) knew he was allergic to. As for his mother and friend they are equally idiotic.

His lawyer, a crackpot named Timothy Houston, said of the incident

“By my count, he took at least five independent steps to make sure that thing had no cheese on it,” Houston said to the Charleston Daily Mail. “And it did and almost cost him his life.”

He did? Apparently not one of them was the OBVIOUS step of actually checking the burger!

What ever happened to personally responsibility? If this is worth $10 million, I think that every time I get a wrong order from McDonalds and am “harmed” because they put Catsup and Mustard on my hamburger when I clearly tell them not to, that should be worth $500 a pop!

My ruling? Jeromy, his mom and his friend should be thrown in jail for filing a frivolous lawsuit and the lawyers who drafted the suit should be disbarred for gross incompetence. And next time CHECK YOUR DAMN FOOD if you might die from a common ingredient found in it!

The cheese that McDonald’s puts on their burgers is bright orange, it should be visible if you look. It doesn’t take long to do that. Is Jeromy possibly related to the teenagers who sued McDonald’s because they ate there constantly (ordering super-sized fries and ice cream) and got fat?
