This morning's hot news is about an 18-year-old girl who moved out of her parent's house and is trying to sue them for college money and financial support. The idea that she thinks she's entitled to help is revolting.
Here are some newsworthy stories you may have missed.
Have you ever seen the people of Walmart web site? Many of them don't have teeth.
A fight broke out a Kansas Walmart after a customer became frustrated with a self-checkout machine and began cursing at the device.
Willy Masters, a 36-year-old man had difficulty completing his transaction and held up the line, much to the chagrin of an unnamed 35-year-old male.
The man confronted Masters and they engaged in a dispute that continued outside of the store. Once the altercation spilled outside, another man got involved and punched Masters in the face.
The punch knocked out several of his teeth.
Neener Neener Neener.
A law forbidding willfully annoying another person is about to be removed from the Grand Rapids, Mich., city code, the city attorney said.
"It's unconstitutional in terms of being vague. It's simply unenforceable," Catherine Mish, city attorney, said of the 38-year-old law.
The City Commission is expected to strike the wording from the code.
Mish has been scouring the city code for archaic rules worthy of removal.
"The law against leaving a restaurant without paying is also muddy," Mish says, noting such cases are currently prosecuted under existing language that prohibits people from taking or removing property not their own.
"It is unclear if once the food is eaten it remains the property of the restaurant," she added
She has not, however, proposed a change in a 1960s-era law prohibiting the carrying of guns in the city, an ordinance that has prompted demonstrations by gun advocates.
"I don't think it's a good idea to allow annoying and gun carry at the same time."
What part of LIVE did you not understand?
A lawsuit filed against the operators of a Tennessee haunted house alleges a man was hospitalized for four days when he choked on a live fish.
Cameron Roth's lawsuit against the operators of Frightmare Manor alleges he paid $15 to compete in a contest at the attraction in October 2013 that involved eating two live bluegill fish.
"Frightmare failed to remove any of the spines from the bluegill fish," the lawsuit states. "In his attempt to eat the two fish within the time constraint, Mr. Roth began choking as the first fish became lodged in his throat."
The lawsuit alleges the contest organizers did not have any medical workers on hand to supervise the contest and workers did not seek emergency medical help when Roth began choking.
Customers at the haunted house called 911 and Roth was hospitalized for four days, "including two nights in the intensive care unit," the lawsuit states.
"The defendants willfully and recklessly failed to take necessary safety measures before Mr. Roth and other participants entered into the challenge," Roth's attorneys wrote in the suit.
The lawsuit accuses defendants of negligence, liability, emotional distress and fraud. The suit seeks $150,000 in compensatory damages and $400,000 in punitive damages.
Is the question so hard to answer....are they flushable or not?
A New York dentist is suing the makers of moistened wipes advertised as flushable after the wipes allegedly clogged his pipes.
Dr. Joseph Kurtz, 35, filed a class action lawsuit against the makers of Cottonelle and Costco-brand wipes, alleging he racked up $600 in plumbers' fees to unclog the pipes at his New York and New Jersey homes as a result of disposing of the "flushable" wipes down his toilets.
"They do not break down as manufacturers advertise," the lawsuit says of the wipes.
Deputy Commissioner Vincent Sapienza of the New York City Department of Environmental Protection said the department spends about $18 million per year to clear debris from machinery at its 14 waste-water treatment plants, and in recent years the vast majority of the debris has been flushable wipes.
"The increase in clogs and problems we've been having in New York City -- it seems to almost correlate directly with the increase in sales of these flushable wipes," Sapienza said. "They make it all the way to the plant and they just wrap themselves around our equipment."
A spokesman for Kimberly-Clark Corp., the manufacturers of Cottonelle products, released a statement in response to the allegations.
"Kimberly-Clark has an extensive testing process to ensure that our flushable wipes products meet or exceed all industry guidelines and we stand behind our claims of flushability," the spokesman said.
I had my dream job and I lost it.
A former New Mexico shoe salesman was handed a 5 1/2-year prison sentence after he admitted he attacked his ex-girlfriend and bit off part of her toe.
Daniel Anaya pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated battery against a household member, two counts of false imprisonment and one count of assault against a household member in order to avoid serving a maximum sentence of seven and a half years in prison.
The 28-year-old, who is said to have a foot fetish, agreed to the deal because of two incidents that took place in 2012 and 2013. During the first incident, Anaya allegedly threatened the victim with a large nail file, sucked her toes and then bit off a large piece of her toenail.
During the second encounter, Anaya held the victim down while he bit off the tip of her big left toe. Prosecutor Susan Stinson told the court that “the victim believes he ingested the item.”
While they were dating, the victim told police she allowed Anaya to cut her toenails with his teeth.
Anaya is believed to be one of the few people in the country offering these exotic pedicures.
He is planning to apply for work in the prison barber shop while taking a correspondence course in nail services.
