No.  She had no reason to "squeeze", you stupid prickcheese.  She
placed the flimsy, unsafe cup there and was attempting to open the lid
to add cream and sugar.  The cup was defective and the contents were a
hazard.

You're an ignorant fat fuck who doesn't know what she's talking
about.  You don't know a damned thing about any "squeezing".

You ignorant fuck:  read Dan Mercer's post in reply to Melody in which
he addresses "assumption of risk" and "easily foreseeable
circumstances".  McDonald's assumed the risk of deviating from
industry practice in serving their coffee so fucking hot, and they
failed to warn customers of easily foreseeable circumstances.
