Lol I did exactly the same thing last christmas. Just walked out the store, forgetting I'd tucked a £20 (around $38) item under my arm. Got half a mile down the road before I noticed, walked back into the store and paid without being questioned by any of the store staff once.

In 1999, Daniel Dukes, a 27 year old from Florida hatched a clever plot so that he could have his life long dream of swimming with a whale fulfilled. He hid from the security guards at Sea World and managed to stay in the park after closing. Shortly after, he dived into the tank containing a killer whale – fulfilling his dream. Daniel was killed by the whale. His parents proceeded to sue Sea World because they did not display public warnings that the whale (Tillikum) could kill people. They also claim that the whale is wrongly portrayed as friendly because of the stuffed toys sold there.

This year's favorite could easily be Mr. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mr. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On his first trip home, having driven onto the freeway, he set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the drivers seat to go into the back and make himself a cup of coffee. Not surprisingly, the R.V. left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mr. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising him in the owner's manual that he couldn't actually do this. The jury awarded him $1,750,000 plus a new motor home. The company actually changed their manuals on the basis of this suit, just in case there were any other complete morons buying their recreation vehicles.

The classic case was about 30 years ago when a woman bathed her dog and tried to dry it in her microwave. The unfortunate animal was cooked alive, and the woman successfully sued the microwave manufacturers for not saying "do not put your dog in it".

Mr Just-A-Guy, do you have any similar experiences of your own, as a lawyer?

Mahone, I try to avoid litigation (other than family law litigation, which provides me with my quota of daily headaches!).
I did get a call the other day from a guy who wanted me to sue a hospital because he had been in a "self-induced coma" (his words), and the hospital told his wife exactly what put him in a coma. She subsequently left him, and he thought he had himself a HIPAA violation (he didn't).
