A Guy Tried To Sue Applebee's For Getting Burned While Praying

Time reports that Hiram Jimenez of New Jersey attempted to sue Applebee's for burning his face. Jimenez ordered the steak fajitas on a sizzling skillet, then decided to bow his head and pray over the hot plate of fajitas. He felt a burning sensation on his face, so he panicked and knocked the plate onto his lap. Smooth move, ace. The court ruled that Jimenez is an idiot, and therefore cannot sue the restaurant chain.

  1. One of the rare times the courts get it right. Should have punished him for wasting the court's time.

    1. Pink, courts actually have alot of leeway in how they talk to you. Alot. The thinking is, you cldnt solve this on your own, now I will tell u what i think and decide whats what, and u will take a seat!

    1. That only works if you are praying to the right god. So we have been told lately.

  6. Yes the Lord did work in a mysterious way. Love how he was religious enough to pray but not enough to forgive.

    I so wish courts would rule like this all the time. That would put an end to the "me" era where no one is responsible for their own actions.

  10. Maybe Applebee's shitty food ~isn't~ something to give thanks for. You hear that sizzling sound? That isn't the love of Jesus filling your heart. It's the sound of meat that has been cooked at hundreds of degrees in hot oil. Try to not put your face on it.

  11. I think he did it on purpose expecting a big payday. Fajitas always come sizzling, you can even hear it! Nobody with a brain would stick their face right into it. He's probably been watching Better Call Saul and thought he could handle a burn better than a broken leg. He was praying for $$$, not for God's gift of Applebee's.

  13. Mr. Min Pin has a deep personal hatred of "Crapplebees". If he was the judge he would have told that dope that getting burned was - God's way of punishing you (for eating there).

  14. You know, there's time after you order before the food comes. You can pray for 20 minutes sometimes, and you have the advantage of getting to eat the food when it comes. I'm pretty sure God will figure out which food to bless; God doesn't need it in front of you at the moment.

    But Christ specifically warned about those who make a public display of prayer, and advised those seeking God to do it in privacy.
