Default Anybody else get annoyed with the Accident and claims adverts??

I was installing a fire alarm at work but they gave me the wrong ladder and it slipped and I fell hurting myself and got £5k.

Errr. you install alarms knew the ladder was wrong but still put it up and climbed it???

The law and claims systems seem more and more geared towards getting money for stupid people on technicalities.

Ok, that's my Good Friday rant over

What really pisses me off is people milking it just for gain.
If its legit, then fair play but some claims are just plain common sense failure s. Like the kid that was on the tv about stubbing his toe getting a couple of gran.

WTF His parents were just proper fuck sticks. I'd like to wipe the smiles of their smug faces by feeding them his foot!

Makes me angry? No, I'm fine about it

Don't talk to me about that one, it has the same effect on me as when Dizzee Rascal comes on the TV. I have to change the channel over or I'll put something through the screen

"Hi I'm an idiot, didn't look where I was going and twisted my knee, so I am going to sue my employer, be out of a job and potentially no one will hire me every again when they see the reference. BUT I got £4,000.00 (minus £3,000 in legal fees)"

Yeah, well good that is

However, I do agree, if an Employer doesn't treat you fairly because of an accident you sustained at work, ie sack you for being off too long, then thats a different story.

I hate all the charity adverts that are on in the day time, If I donated to everyone that was on I would have no wages

problem is being a retard is normal these days. nobody has common sense either! common sense has been outlawed by health and safety legislation because society has become too stupid and people are too thick to take responsibility for thier own actions.
