A man who left his phone in a McDonald's restaurant is suing the company after nude pictures of his wife leaked on to the internet.

Phillip Sherman forgot to take the device with him when he left the Fayetteville, Arizona store in July. According to the lawsuit, employees found the phone and promised to secure it until his return.

Sherman and his wife Tina are now suing McDonald's Corporation, the store manager and the franchise owner after pictures on the phone were posted online.

The couple are seeking $3 million (£2 million) in damages they claim were incurred by embarrassment, suffering and the cost of having to move house.

those mcdonalds folks sure as hell must have been 'lovin' it'. sorry i couldn't refuse

First of all if you have nude pics of your wife on your phone you should use the security phone lock feature. So that if you are an idiot like this guy and leave your phone behind no one will be able to look into the phone cause it will be locked. :rolleyes: What a moron.

Well, I think that both parties are to blame here, 50/50...him for leaving his phone in the restaurant, and the employees for posting the pics; whatever he might win in the suit (assuming that he wins), he should only receive half of the money

He should get a lifetime supply of McDonald's Burgers.

I still think this should be a McDonald's commercial....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3RJixZ2T04

they should probably just be suing the individuals responsible for the leak, rather than the whole corporation. the employees offering to keep the phone secure for him wasn't part of business. posting the pictures was definitely illegal.

also, i wouldn't say that this is the guy's fault. leaving the phone behind didn't give anyone the right to open it up and go through everything saved on there. you don't exactly see all the pictures just by glancing at the outside of it.

Oh brother!! :crazy:

Exactly! Who takes nude pics of their WIFE and leaves them on their phone??? He's probably freaking out because it ISN'T the wife and knows she's going to find out! :lol:

And yes - I have mine password protected at ALL times. Don't need a $40,000 phone bill if I lose it - and this clown had even more to lose.

In this day and age, it's his own fault and I hope the court throws this right out, laughing at him. :p

Dude, you are my go-to person. :lol: Another hilarious pic. As far as the situation goes, If that man wants to have naked pics of his wife on camera, then that is his business. Whoever was at McDonalds, took his cam. phone and posted those pics, should be dealt with accordingly. The hubby should have locked the phone or kept his eye on it. The culprit that exposed those pic should be knocked upside the head for what they did and for not having a V8! :rolleyes: :lol:

LOL

When I started to read this, I had no sympathy for the guy because I figured that maybe it was a fellow customer who posted the pics, but considering the fact that it was an employee of the chain, I think he has every right to sue. As Sarah said though, I also don't agree with him suuing the whole chain. I don't think an entire corporation should be held responsible for something that a couple idiots did. I could understand him suuing the particular McDonalds where it happened, but definitely not McDonalds as a whole.

Generally speaking, a place of employment is responsible for its employees actions on the job, so, the suit is valid...but, he should share responsibility 50/50

Oh, I'm aware that the suit is valid, which is an absolute obsurdity in my opinion. It's like when some mentally ill guy who never showed any signs of a problem goes crazy, and shoots up his place of employment, and suddenly that company gets sued for all the damage he did. It's as if the company were suppose to pull a Nostrodamus, and read the guys' mind. lol! I just think there are alot of flaws in the legal system, and our sue crazy/sue anybody society, is one of those flaws as far as I'm concerned. I think it needs to be revamped!!
