Japan has been doing this for some time...

Alicia Reed In fact, I have encountered a real live warranty note on something that said, "Warranty void in the event of shark bite, bear attack, and children under the age of 5." 😅🤣 [/quote wrote:
When I worked in a camera store, I think the labels for Pelican brand camera cases said something like that! It's so true: toddlers can break anything.

I work in a garage for a major privately owned nursery in my city where we fix all the trucks and heavy equipment, hand tools and mechanized hand stuff like blowers and bricksaws, etc. I swear they crews are just giant toddlers..... I say that with love, though.

As for repairs, hm... when one of the kids knocked my favorite coffee/tea mug from the edge of the table, I used wire and a piece of driftwood I had gathered one day to cobble together a new handle, which I wired wrapped onto the mug. 😅
It could honestly use redoing as I have gotten a little better at wire wrapping and it is not as ergonomically proportioned as it once was, but it has made an interesting conversation starter and people usually like the look of it. Haha.
