A brief lapse of attention

And look what happened: one Phillip Sherman on July 5 left his cell phone in the McDonald’s restaurant in Fayetteville, Arkansas. His wife had previously sent nude pictures of herself to this cell phone.

Then matters escalated: the manager at Mickey D’s, Aaron Brummley, placed a call to Mr. Sherman’s mom and said he would keep the phone until it was picked up. Shortly thereafter, apparently Mrs. Sherman started receiving text messages, by which she learned that those photos had not only been seen, but had been uploaded to the Web.

The Shermans are now suing McDonald’s, the franchise owner, and Brummley for $3 million, presumably for not warning them about the hazards of losing cell phones containing nude photos at a workplace full of teenagers.

(Via Fark. I don’t have a link for the actual pictures; there may be links posted in that Fark thread.)
