Today, working at a fast food restaurant, I saw a woman in her late thirties pull out some hair and put it in her food, then threaten to sue me and the restaurant. She also told me no one would believe me, a teenager, when I told her I saw her put it there. FML

Today, I was sitting in McDonald's. A lady came up to me and started complaining about the bad service, and asked for the manager. I told her that I didn't work there. "But you must, someone that fat has to work here!" FML

Today, while working at McDonald's, a woman returned to the drive thru because her fries weren't hot enough. She was so angry about coming back that she threw her cold fries at me through the window and told me to "choke on them." FML

Today, I went to a restaurant for lunch. I began to eat when I noticed a blond hair in my food. When that happened, I went up to the counter and began complaining about their hygiene. When the manager insisted no one that works there had long blond hair, I realized that it was my hair. FML

Today, my 45-year-old child of a mother made such a dramatic scene over finding a hair in her food that the initially apologetic owners ended up kicking my family out. FML

Today, I placed an order at a fast food joint, when the elderly lady behind me cussed me out for ordering the same thing she wanted. She ranted that I was a "dirty thief", while everyone else glared at me as if I was holding up the line. What the fuck? FML

Today, while working the drive-thru at work, an older woman asked for my phone number to give to her single son. After I politely declined, she called me a slut and threw her food at me through the window before promptly speeding off. FML

Today, I asked a girl at the restaurant I work at if she'd had enough to eat. When she said yes, I said, "Are you sure?" I didn't realize how insulting it sounded until her equally overweight mom was up in my face, demanding to see my manager. FML

Try to get a DNA test to prove it. your witnessing would be probable cause.

Let her waste her time filing a lawsuit. There are no damages for her to seek so it would be frivolous.

Call a lawyer, get a DNA extract and sue back

Take the plate with the hair from her, along with the glass. Tell her you'll have them DNA tested if she sues.

Just to clear this up, the only thing she can sue for is negligence. Negligence has four elements: (1) duty, (2) breach of that duty, (3) causation - both actual and proximate, and (4) damages. Causation is suspect here as well because it's clear she was the cause of the issue but it's still a he-said-she-said situation (the court wouldn't care that you're young btw). Regardless, there are likely no damages from simply finding a hair in your food unless she can prove it caused some sort of psycological problem that manifested into physical symptoms.

Not to mention there's likely security footage in the restaurant of her plucking her own hair and then putting it in her food.

I don't know which Slytherins you're speaking for but, the majority of us do not approve of this behavior. You sure you're not speaking for Peeves?

Let her sue your work place. A dna test will solve it

Hair in food is so common it's just not something that can be sued for

Why would she be suing you in the first place?

I had this happen too. Except it was a man who finished the entire plate and then wound his hair around his fork. He really won my manager over when he got up and was screaming and swearing in the face of a 17yr old girl.
