Florida Man stories - Stories that made the saying


Last spring, a $5 million class-action lawsuit was filed in Fort Lauderdale federal court by Cynthia Kissner, of Broward County, and Leonard Werner, of Miami-Dade. The pair say they had to pay for cheese they didn’t want on their Quarter Pounder sandwiches. The fast food giant prevailed when U.S. District Judge William Dimitrouleas dismissed the case, saying the complaint was “absurd.” The U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform later ranked the Florida duo’s Quarter Pounder with Cheese filing No. 8 on its Top 10 Most Ridiculous Lawsuits of 2018.


And that is just one of many - some sad, some funny. The saddest thing is I live in Florida.
