This is what bugs me about people and society.

Read this story about Jimmy John's. (For the record, I love JJ--fantastic sandwiches and fantastic service).

To sum it up, a guy goes into his local JJ store. Orders a turkey sub with no mayo and no cheese. Evidently, this guy has SEVERE food allergies. Then, he gets the sandwich, which is somehow a TUNA sub, WITH cheese and WITH mayo. He doesn't look at it, just picks it up and takes a bite. One bite. Then spits it out but it was too late and he goes into anaphylactic shock and ends up in the hospital for three days.

So now, he is suing Jimmy Johns.

My problem is this. I do not think that people should be allowed to sue each other over every little thing. This guy is a moron. If your allergies are so severe that you will go into shock and have to be in the hospital for three days just by having food in your mouth for a few seconds (remember he didn't eat it, he spit it out after tasting it) there is no way that you don't check your food before eating it. And if you do make a habit out of blindly putting food in your mouth that could theoretically kill you, then, I repeat, you are a moron. And thusly, deserve what you get.

But, allergy guy aside, I don't think that this is JJ's fault. They are a company who, more than likely, does not have a policy of making people the wrong sandwich. This seems to be a case of someone making a mistake. No matter how good a company or its policies are, they have to be run by people. And people are prone to mistakes (not me, of course, but other people). So one guy is having a bad day and screws up a sandwich order (he makes sandwiches people, he doesn't do brain surgery!) and now his company is getting sued?

It is absurd. Totally ridiculous.

One little mistake. It is, of course, unfortunate that moron guy got the wrong sandwich and that it made him ill. No one was looking for that outcome, I assume; it is just one of those things that sometimes happen-a part of life.

And now this guy is suing. I hope that whoever hears this case agrees with me and tells the moron to stick it where the sun don't shine.

Meanwhile, I think I might have Jimmy John's for lunch tomorrow....as a silent show of support.
