A few days ago, a lady called my day job to complain about the sturdiness of our glass bottles. Apparently, she's twice bought a bottle of some herbal tincture, managed to drop each bottle on the floor and was upset that the glass broke. She wanted to complain and get replacements for these.
My coworkers and I came up with an idea: how about you not drop the bottles on the floor? Co-worker Dribbles came up with a better idea: how about you sit on the floor when you open the bottles? I did not send her a replacement and kindly reminded her that they were made of glass and that glass can break when dropped four feet above the floor.
When driving places, I will often see big trucks out and about (it should be illegal during rush hour to hold up traffic by going 20 miles below the speed limit) and they have large bumper stickers announcing "Stay back 40 feet. Not responsible for broken windshields."
Now I know we've got a terribly litigious society, but is a bumper sticker really a good enough waiver? Can I hit pedestrians with my car as long as I've got a sign denying culpability? How about a crazed ax murderer with a disclaimer on the ax handle? These thoughts haunt my early morning hours....
