if you don't get sued at least onace in your life here, you're doing something wrong.

who would do that?

americans, duh

actually in the US the case would be thrown out because of good samaritan laws. The only way they would have a case is if you were a professional rescuer and you acted negligently/counter to your training.

I think a paramedic counts as a professional rescuer?

Maybe it's a case of lack of details, like Miles was talking about. Maybe he helped her, but was unnecessarily violent or abusive or something.

usually when you give someone CPR you crack a rib or two. The heimlich is pretty violent too. so sometimes people try to sue, but they can't.

That's what I learned in lifeguard class.
it's possible the case is going to be thrown out and the guy has nothing to worry about. it's also possible the guy is lying.

also some people are horrible liars

Today, I was talked into having sex with my boyfriend of 4 years. I had always wanted to wait till marriage but my boyfriend convinced me otherwise. Once we were done, he said he could never marry me because I was no longer pure. FML

Today, me and my boyfriend came back to my house after a night on the town. Thinking the house was empty, we proceeded to have sex. Just as it was getting good my phone rings. It was a text from my mom, "Quiet down. Even your father can tell your faking." FML

The fact that so many of them are like "Today, it's hard to have sex with my boyfriend because we are 15 and still live with our parents. FML." also gets kind of boring.

I heard on a legitimate news station about a guy who pushed some people out of the way of an oncoming truck and then got a ticket for jaywalking (the story was about the ridiculousness of it) so maybe some of the ticket ones could be true...

Today, my son looked out of the window and said "what's that piece of shit doing on our driveway?" It was the new car we were trying to surprise him with on his 16th birthday. FML

I kind of like how the "Today" thing sounds on this one:

Today, my teenage stepdaughters, as a punishment for refusing to buy them iphones, told my wife they saw me in town kissing an attractive blonde and grabbing her ass (all invented). She believed it and i'm single. I've been faithful and feeding the whole family for 10 years. FML

Today, I was at lunch with my grandpa and my sister. My grandpa looks over at my sister and says, "Wow. You're so beautiful." Right after, he turns to me and says, "And you have a nice coat." FML

I believe the first draft of this one read:

Today, my son was a total asshole. FML
