*snicker* Nice. All it needs is a warning-sign-type figure of a guy sitting in front of a computer with the little sparkly doodads around his head indicating confusion or disorientation.

On our products, we have a series of meetings (we only need one, but there's no way to finish in time) on mitigating the various risks. One of which is "unintended use". Such as they use our cart as a chair. Or they yank it around by the power cord. And even dropping.



...and I make medical equipment that can only be used by doctors.

The most recent one I've heard about is about a guy who ran over his daughter who was sunbathing in the driveway. He is suing the car maker because it was a leased car and technically he did not own the vehicle. I hope the guy dies a painful death and rots in hell. Die motherfvcker!

WHAT THE FVCK?!?!??!?

Refer back to the original post. I added some links.

(Unless you are saying "WTF" as in "WTF is my rant doing in this thread." If that is what you are saying, the answer is because I'm an idiot.)
