coctail stick in my burger

That comment about someone deserving to die has to be the most vile and ignorant comment I have read on this site. That truly is disgusting behaviour.

Its not the 'not agreeing' bit thats the problem - its the continued rudeness towards both the OP and anyone else who thinks that he has got a case for a SMALL gesture of goodwill. So far as I know, neither the OP nor anyone else has suggested demanding large amounts of compensation. I don't agree with taht - and I'm pretty sure that the OP doesn't want that either. Whats needed is an ex gratia demonstration of goodwill. Whats also needed is for certain posters to behave in a more adult and sensible manner and stop playing this silly game of trading rudery.

Hmmmmm
pot, kettle and black springs to mind here...

i didnt post on here to find out how to get any sort of payment, i just wanted other peoples advice and to find out the opinion of anyone willing to write decent comments, and what others would do in the same situation, yes i have got defensive, but alot of the messages have been blocked as some i feel have been very abusive towards me just for asking a question, i am being made to feel stupid and like i dont deserve to be on here. and i am actually tired of it. i am sorry that i asked the question in the first place. but would like to thank all those who have helped and offerd there opinion on this for me, it is much appreciated.

I think you need to go lie down and get some perspective on this. There was a small piece of wood in a burger, just because some people don't believe it warrants a full trial at the crown court doesn't mean they deserve to die.

Also who says the posts that don't agree aren't helpful? Sure they aren't all fluffy and sympathetic but if they help the OP see that it should not be acceptable to demand large amounts of compensation for trivial accidents then I'd say that is quite helpful, not just for the OP but for society as a whole.

I would just like to add that at no point have i demanded or even mentioned large amounts of money, thats not what i need or want, i just want peace of mind that it isnt going to happen again to anyone else, as it did cut in to my gum, my gums did bleed and it did hurt, as trivial as that sounds to you, it did upset me, my gum was very sore for the rest of the day, being already ill, pain effects me probably much more than most. i just wanted to know the best way of dealing with what happened, as i dont think an offer of a burger is reasurance enough to say that isnt going to happen. i dont want anyone to agree, there was nothing to agree with, and i never said anything about fluffy and sympethetic replies, but as a site aimed at adults for advice, i shouldnt expect to be put down and what i say dismissed as unimportant. we are all on this site for the same reasons, i would always respect anything that someone else posted on here, and if i thought they were wrong, i would very tackfuly say so, or not reply at all, i wouldnt start hate campaign against them,

Kaj - try not to let the spiteful and rude comments of few people upset you. There are some who can be relied on to pop up on verious different threads making the same fatuous remarks in one form or another. They haven't got anything worthwhile or helpful to say and are really just not worth bothering with.

I hope you get some small ex gratia goodwill payment out of this .

If someone is nasty and abusive just press the abuse button to report them to MSE. Generally speaking most people on here are very helpful but there are a minority of people who hide behind a username and are plain nasty. Eventually if there are enough abuse reports they get banned. These nasty people deliberately set out to offend and they must have really sad little lives if that is how they get their kicks. Please carry on using MSE in the spirit is supposed to be used in and ignore any trolls you encounter. Remember you are heaps better than they are.

that is nice, thankyou, i recently realised i can block people, but i think that maybe reporting them is probably more effective. thank you for your encouragement. i love this site, and it is a shame it gets abused like it does.
but thankyou everyone for your kind replies and reasurance on the original thread, and also with the support of the subsequant issue that has arose because of it!

Well I am sorry but you mentioned in your first post you were offered a free burger and given an apology so what else did you want? The wording in your subsequent post made clear implications via the phrases "don't accept the free burger" and "take it further".

just worded wrong, not to sue them or anything, maybe write to the company, ask for a drink with the burger, or leave it, that sort of thing. i am not the type of person that would take anyone to court or try to get something out of them, it may have been worded wrong. but i didnt ever mention compensation. just wanted practical advice
