Sorry, not responsible

Nobody's responsible for anything. Trucks that drop rocks on your windows aren't responsible for damage. Any business will tell you they are not responsible for lost or stolen items from your car. Electronics stores will only stand behind what they sell if you buy 'extended protection' and so it goes. It seems responsibility is just not in any company's mission statement anymore.

Why should they have all the fun? If all it takes is a disclaimer why not join in? Never mind that the law might suggest that the truck is indeed responsible for the windscreen, the sign says no.

I'm thinking of getting some exemptions in the form of a tattoo that reads;

Not responsible for unwanted pregnancies, lack of social grace, or drunk and disorderly behavior. Robert is not responsible for his poor grammar usage including but not limited to, the use of who and whom improperly, the overuse, or under use of commas etc. Robert is not responsible for remembering birthday's anniversaries, historical dates, or algebraic equations.

Well that's a start anyway, this feels good to let go.

hahaha...I love it!
I would totally do it if I were you.
For a while I was considering making people sign waivers when they got in my car (back when I had a car)getting rid of all responsability from everything from second hand smoke to acts of God. Then common sense came back:)
