Common Sense on the Wire

Saturday, 4 November 2006 by Jacob Tomaw

Do you remember signing the matting of a picture frame that doubled as our guest book at the wedding? To hang that frame we needed some wire. After having the best experience with a Home Depot associate (and ignoring all the Christmas decorations), we had our wire.

Being dutiful, I read the instructions on the packaging and saw this tidbit that reassured me the world is headed in the right direction.

Use common sense then hanging your pictures. Avoid hanging objects over TV sets, stereos, beds, sofas, or any other expensive furniture.

Warranty: The sale of this product is “as is” and without any express warranties. Liability, if any, is limited to refund of purchase price only upon return of product, package and original receipt to manufacturer. Pound ratings are subject to variable conditions and are for comparison only.

I read this as “This is wire! We like the stuff we make but, damn!, we cannot hold up everything. Oh, and if you do act like an idiot, we aren’t paying for the ding in your furniture.”

It is to bad even this much has to be on the packaging, but way to go Ook.
