    As I got onto the motorway one day there was a sign that said "sign not in use".

    I think the worst are TV commercials that say "professional driver, closed course" for the lamest things.

    I know, right?

    But the scary part is that it's probably on there because some moron tried it.

    One of those campling toilet seats that you can attach to the bumper of a truck......

    label says "Caution, do not use while driving"

    I have this image of the Beverly Hillbillies in my head now. :happy:

    in college I worked at a kitchen store, and we were selling those antimicrobial cutting boards (popular item in the late 1990's early 2000's with the germ fears antimicrobial everything)....

    The manufacturer had to start putting warning labels on the cutting boards saying something to the effect of "These items must be washed" people weren't washing the cutting boards and were getting sick.

    Like someone else said.. they should leave off the warnings and let these idiots take themselves out of the gene pool.

    I agree you did the right thing. Unfortunately, a lot of people would now be scared to do that with another person's child.

    Oh then too! It was instinct but I shook for an hour afterwards. Also, note I left without leaving my name. :wink:

    I bet you would have done the same thing:love:

    Most states actually have what are called "Good Samaritan Laws" that protect individuals who try to help in emergencies. As long as you don't do something like a tracheotomy when you are not a doctor, you do have SOME protection. Until the damn lawyers get involved.

    When you say 'states' do you mean 'member states of United Nations'?

    All these warnings came about due to the abundant USA appetite to sue all and sundry.... as it's always "someone else's fault"
    The Lawyers lap it up.. and make the problem worse.

    I recall the incident with a Camper van style vehicle, where the driver, put it on auto drive and then went in the back to make a drink.

    Next minute he/she had crashed.

    Successfully sued the vehicle manufacture for not having a warning that "auto" didn't mean fully automatic drive itself.
    Vehicle maintenance manual was amended to add such a warning!

    Meets the criteria of urban legend. See what Snopes says about it:
