Fair. Though it still makes me doubt it a little bit. It is still an American woman we’re talking about. Suing is your national pastime, isn’t it?

I guess. What’s the point in having legal rights if you can’t wield them in court for profit?

Hahaha. Don’t worry, we can sue companies or people in my country just fine as well. We just tend not to do it when, say, the hotdog is missing the sauce you asked for. ;)

Hotdog with the wrong sauce is just asking for vigilante justice here.

That honestly explains American litigation culture a lot better than anything I’ve ever read or watched.
