The Case of the Cable Car Nymphomaniac
The infamous case of the woman who sued San Francisco, claiming that a cable car accident had turned her into a nymphomaniac http://weirdnews.about.com/od/lovesexandmarriage/tp/The-Case-of-the-Cable-Car-Nymphomaniac.htm/ In 1964, a San Francisco cable car rolled partway down a hill before it came to an abrupt stop, causing a passenger, Gloria Sykes, to bang her head against a pole. Six years later, Sykes sued the railway, claiming that the accident had caused her to develop an "insatiable and uncontrollable desire for promiscuous sex." In other words, she had become a nymphomaniac. http://www.verywell.com/sex-addiction-symptoms-2329082/ The lawsuit is remembered to this day as one of the most bizarre cases in San Francisco's history 
Cable car on Hyde Street - 
. 
.. interest in her story has continued to the present. So much so that in 2014 it achieved one of the highest honors a weird news story can earn. It got turned into a musical production, titled The Cable Car Nymphomaniac, debuted to positive reviews at San Francisco's Fogg Theatre.

I think I'll go to my next local police jury meeting and ask for a motion to look into the feasibility of buying cable cars for my little parish

Yeah, well, you really ought to think this through a bit less flippantly.
The reason why so many people assume it's just some ditzy woman refusing to take responsibility for herself, is because they think it's fun to have sex all the time, and that that's what this is about. In reality, the problem for people who really are driven to sex, instead of enjoying it, is that they are under stress all the time, and their lives are distorted and damaged by it. We know that brain damage can and has caused previously calm and righteous people to become violent criminals, incapable of remaining peaceful in normal society, it's also quite possible to have brain damage cause this sort of malady. |

Yes, and I'm forced to agree with you. Very posible it was brain injury similar to traumatic brain injury. Personality switch, positive to negitive, prude to a Supafrrreak! I'm not sure but I'm thinking she won her case! Gives a whole new meaning to doing the bump! |

Six years later? Seriously? It could have happened (???) anytime during that period. Ambulance chasing lawyers are a pox on every Nation. eldar |

Marvin E. Lewis, 84, A Pioneering Lawyer He was a pioneer of the legal concept of psychic injury, arguing in a 1959 case that a female client became psychotic after falling through a wooden stairway at her apartment. He said the woman's fall was a fall from grace, psychologically speaking, and interfered with her religious upbringing. The woman, June Daimare, who had sued her landlord for damages, was awarded $101,000. Mr. Lewis was perhaps best known for a 1970 case that the media called "The Cable Car Named Desire," in which a jury ruled in favor of a young dancer, Gloria Sykes, who claimed she lost her mental balance and became a nymphomaniac after a cable car accident. Ms. Sykes sued the city and a jury awarded her $50,000. http://www.nytimes.com/1991/10/07/obituaries/marvin-e-lewis-84-a-pioneering-lawyer.html/ ----------- In the 1970s, a 29-year-old woman named Gloria Sykes sued Muni for $500,000 (roughly $3.1 million today) for a head accident on a Hyde street cable car that turned her into a nymphomaniac. The widely publicized event and ensuing court battle brought in psychiatrists and the woman’s lovers to testify on her behaviors, and—as might only happen in San Francisco—she won her case. http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2015/01/07/sf-woman-hits-her-head-in-muni-accident-and-becomes-nymphomanic-now-its-a-musical-the-cable-car/ -------------- SFist Reviews: 'The Cable Car Nymphomaniac' from The FOGG Theatre by Jay Barmann in Arts & Entertainment on Jan 20, 2015 http://sfist.com/2015/01/20/sfist_reviews_the_cable_car_nymphom.php/ |

Six years later? Seriously? It could have happened (???) anytime during that period. Ambulance chasing lawyers are a pox on every Nation. eldar I know that there ARE cases where "ambulance chasers" as you call them, and other scam-oriented lawyers have pulled stunts. But it's an act of purposeful ignorance and self-destruction to assume that EVERY instance you hear about in the media is that kind of case. Especially when you remember that we ALSO have to deal with "news" reporters who's primary goal isn't to get the story right, but to get us riled up enough to watch or read through the commercials. It's very easy to forget to think things through, especially in the days when famous people regularly claim that they were driven to cheat on their wives, or prey on the young because of a "sex addiction" which magically goes away the moment they are caught. But not even every one of those stories are BS. |
