A customer has filed a negligence lawsuit against Dunkin’, claiming he was injured by an exploding toilet at one of the coffee chain’s locations in central Florida.
Paul Kerouac is seeking more than $100,000 in a lawsuit filed Wednesday in state court in Orlando, claiming he suffered “severe and long term injuries” following the explosion of a toilet in the men’s room of a Dunkin’ location in Winter Park, Florida, a year ago.
After the explosion left Kerouac covered in human feces, urine and debris, he walked out of the men’s room seeking help from workers and the store’s manager, according to the lawsuit. An employee told him that they were aware of the “problem with the toilet” since there had been previous incidents, the lawsuit says, without diving into further details about the explosion.
Here’s the lawsuit for those interested; not a lot to it, barely 4 pages, and most of it was in the article. They don’t really go into more detail. This part was funny though…I would not want to be the victim of the exploding toilet.
c. Negligently failing to warn or adequately warn Plaintiff of the gander of the mens’ room toilet, when Defendant knew or should have known that the toilet was unreasonably dangerous, leaving Plaintiff unaware of the danger.
- As a direct result of Defendant’s breach and/or multiple breaches of its duties and obligations to Plaintiff, who was lawfully on Defendant’s premises, Plaintiff unwittingly became the victim of the exploding toilet and of the aftermath which followed, and sustained damages, including injuries and emotional and mental distress.

Well, there you go: summary judgment to the Plaintiff. If you don’t tell your customers that there’s a fucking HATEFUL COBRA TURKEY keeping jealous possession of the Mens’ loo, like some latter-day dragon guarding its hoard, you deserve to be sued at the very least, and just for starters until greater commensurate punitive action can be determined.
@PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works , this was initially to be a playful ribbing of what I’d thought was a typo oversight, on your part, of transcribing text from the court document.
But seeing that it’s the actual text of the filing absolves you, and makes the typo oversight that much funnier.
Florida never fails to entertain and disappoint.
