So is he the equivalent of a slip and fall schemer, going around
to see who he can scam for money? Or just a fathead.

Both I would guess. Likes to look important and if it brings the money in,
so much the better.

I know a litigation prone couple like that. They have launched a
number of law suits over minor incidents. In one case they award was
high enough to pay for an in ground swimming pool. That was the result
of a broom on display falling off and hitting her on the head. I don't
know how that can happen, other than the high probability of things
happening to her. And how much could that have hurt.

LOL... sounds like my late brother in law. He was furious that his
doctor had written a letter describing him as morbidly obese and prone
to writing notes on documents in tiny letters. He showed me the letter
and, sure enough, he had written several notes on the document,all in
tiny print. He then ranted about how he was on a 1200 calorie per day
diet and wanted to know why. I pointed to his breakfast.... a huge bowl
of ice cream with chocolate sauce and cookies. He roared at me that it
was diet ice cream.

If I know someone is litigation prone I avoid them like the plague.

I'm reminded of a liability claim (slip & fall) that was processed by
the company I worked for. The claim was denied and she didn't get a
dime. The woman truly did slip and fall in the store. She might have
even been hurt a little. But because there was no one else in the aisle
(read: no witnesses) she got up and went to another store aisle where
there were shoppers and pretended to fall again. Good lord, woman, ever
hear of security cameras?! She might have gotten a couple thousand
dollars if she'd just stayed where she was and yelled for help.

Bullshit. That has been an urban legend on the internet for years.

If he wasn't looking for an excuse to start a law suit, he might have
realized that airlines carry one brand of soda and Air Canada's was
Sprite for a lemon-lime beverage.

If I would have sued for every instance rude people in Montreal mocked
my French by laughing in my face, I'd probably own Montreal.
