Do things like this bug you?

I was passing a little store the other day and a sign read" Ice cold Ice" to me that seemed really stupid, kinda like the warnings on products, like blow dryers come with a warning not to use in the bath tub and do not use while asleep. The thing that bugs me is you know someone did that to get that warning on there. Also the warning on your to go coffee , warns you that the contents are "HOT"why do why need to state this, so no one will get sued!

    My older brother and two friends of his who are/were attorneys, studied the US Constitution under a non-profit organization. He once told me this, "We are a litigious society."

    The simplest dictionary definition I've come across reads as follows;

    li⋅ti⋅gious  [li-tij-uhs] Show IPA

    –adjective

    1. of or pertaining to litigation.

    2. excessively or readily inclined to litigate: a litigious person.

    3. inclined to dispute or disagree; argumentative.

    It's the "excessively or readily inclined to" part that I feel best explains the reason for your question.
