Was it his thumb that got cut off, or some other protuberance(s)?
Sounds like a Land Shark’s description of a cop.
Sure enough, from the linked article:
a lawsuit filed by plaintiff Richard J. Kastigar, Jr., who is chief deputy of the Pima County Sheriff Department in Arizona
Hmmm. Didn’t know his arm got chopped off… even so, he still has a spare. /s
A couple of years ago, I broke my left wrist. Didn’t ‘need assistance’ doing any of those activites listed by the Land Shark. As far as ‘great difficulties’ are concerned, the only one that would seem to apply would be tying shoes.
Those other activities didn’t give me ‘great difficulties’. Couldn’t do 'em as quickly, but one finds work-arounds to the usual methods of Doing Things.
I noticed that ‘cooking’ wasn’t listed anywhere. Make of that what you will…
I am left-handed, & essentially had to learn to write with the Wrong Hand; it’s actually more legible.
As is noted in the article, similar suits have been thrown out before:
Mercedes-Benz isn’t the only automaker to be sued over soft-close doors, as Jaguar and BMW have also faced similar claims about a lack of sensors.
In the case against BMW, the judge dismissed the lawsuit by saying humans have been slamming their fingers in car doors since doors were invented and BMW’s doors are no exception.
Too bad about his thumb; delusions of grandeur sometimes come with a price.
