Idiot protection--stupid warning labels

I have a windshield sun shade that I use when I park my car in a sunny spot when it's hot. I've used it for a couple of years but only just noticed that it has a warning tag on it, "Remove this sun shade before operating the vehicle" or something like that. I know the maker of the product is paranoid about lawsuits, but I found that really funny :lol:

I'd love to hear about other idiot-lawsuit prevention warnings. And if this topic is a repeat, sorry.

If I walk into a wall at work and hurt myself, whom should I sue--the designer, builder, owner, or whom?

'may cause drowsiness' written on sleeping pills... isnt that the intent? what is this 'may' crap? i want sleeping pills that will definitely cause drowsiness... i dont want to gamble with my sleeping pills... some may be sugar pills others will be sleeping pills... like the ppl at sanofi-aventis or pfizer are bored and mix-match just for fun...

Not a warning label, but the drive up ATM at my bank wants you to know that it is equipped for the visually impaired!!!!

My favorite though has to be all the coffee cups warning you that the contents might be hot!

I know that sounds weird but there's a simple reason those ATMs have the braile keypads. The first ATMs were walk-ups and the Govt required they be accessable for the visually impaired. When they started making drive-up ATMs they just used the same keypads rather than go to the added expense of obtaining a second type. That your bank advertises that as a feature tells me they're lacking in the mental department and your money might be in better hands elsewhere. :lol:

The label inside my corn stove(think wood stove that burns dried corn) on the firepot that said"Do not touch while burning" :lol: 2 seconds into the first burn it vaporized.

That's why insanity is a genetic trait---parents catch it from their teens.

" whom should I sue--the designer, builder, owner, or whom?"

The company that produced the bricks, of course! :(
