I've actually seen news stories where homeowners were successfully sued over injuries caused to men who were breaking and entering their homes in the middle of the night..with who knows what intentions?

It has, unfortunately, become the norm in our society to blame everyone else for our actions. This is why everything we buy has so many ridiculous warnings on them (i.e. don't use the lawn mower as a hedge trimmer and don't use the toaster under water) because some idiot has done it and then sued because nothing is ever our fault. Had I been on any of these juries, the plaintiffs wouldn't have gotten a cent. Sometimes we need to take the consequences of our own choices. I've been in exactly the same situation as the coffee lady, only it was a carton of egg drop soup from the Chinese takeout place. Neglecting all common sense, I put it between my legs for the ride home. My dad was driving, hit the brakes suddenly and it spilled all over me and it was beyond hot! So who was at fault here? ME and no one else because I made the choice to put something hot on my lap and didn't properly secure it. It's time for all of us to step up and take responsibility for our choices in life.

The best warning I've seen on a product was on a chainsaw. It read, "Do not attempt to stop chain with hands or genitals." You've gotta wonder what idiot did that so they had to put the warning on there!
