And you know the only reason they have stupid warnings is because some dumbass actually tried to do it.

Tough enough not to use spell check?

I agree though, people are pussies today. Christ the bus for Elementary school kids has to go down my narrow street everyday now to drop off 3 kids to their parents 10 feet from the end of the street. When i was in elementary school i walked a mile to my house from the bus stop, alone. Also, Every single fucking bus stops at the railroad crossings, which isn't a problem if it's one bus doing it, safety issue i know, but when 8 buses stop in a row it's annoying. If the first four buses didn't get hit what makes them think the last four will, what makes this worse is the fact that you can see down the tracks a good mile both ways, i would say that gives plenty of warning.

You think it's common sense, but haven't you ever thought 'hey, I need to save some time, and surely it'd be better ironed person-shaped instead of flat?'
Sizzle.

Or even something like 'Sod turning that thing off, if I can juust reach in there and grab that thing stopping it, it'll go just fine'.
Scrunch.

And that is how, once a moron and a lawsuit breed, you get stupid-ass safety tags and disclaimers.

It's because everyone is fucking stupid. People do not think any more. I was dragged down town by my mother the other day and I decided to sit in the car whilst she went and got some medicine or something. And sitting there watching people do the most stupidest things reminded me why I do not go outside, and why I hate everyone. Among the things I can remember:

1) A mid-20's girl came out of the supermarket with her shopping trolley, into the car park. Which is fair enough if she had a heavy load. She had one plastic bag, with two bottles of coke in it. She then ditched the shopping trolley in the car park, and because the car park was on a slope it started rolling. Luckily the car park was mildly empty otherwise it would have caused some damage.

2) Numerous people crossing the road without looking, causing a few cars to come to sudden halts. Come on, you were taught to look both ways when you were 8 for fuck sake.

3) A parent of two was smoking in a car, with one toddler and one baby (not old enough to talk) with all the windows up.

And that's all I can remember now. But that, and some more general stupidity happened in the time period of 20 minutes. Why are people so fucking retarded now? Sigh, society sucks.

Not necessarily true, I always iron my tie after I put it on. It's just plain old fashioned efficiency.
