It never ceases to amaze me how much protection we need from ourselves! We have become a society that needs to be taken care of. I think it’s because we have become fairly litigious, even north of the 49th parallel.
Remember the lady who poured scalding McDonald’s coffee on her lap? She certainly spawned a number of ‘watch out’ signs. You may have seen these signs in a number of places (and no, I’m not making these up!); some include:
Warning: Do not iron clothes while on body
Warning: Do not collapse stroller with baby inside
Caution: (For children’s Spiderman and Superman costumes), “This costume does not enable wearer to fly”
I found another one while training in Manitoba last week. It was likely due to someone freezing to death. The sign (written on all three entry doors to the hotel I stayed at) read: “Pull to operate.”
I don’t know about you, but don’t we deserve a little bit of credit?
