geared Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Is common sense like armour? Does it stop sharp things from cutting? No it stops you from approaching it in the first place. "ooh pointy thing, lets rub up against it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Sleeps Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 No it stops you from approaching it in the first place. One would have to know there was something sharp there, in order to either walk to or walk away from it. Common sense doesn't give us the magical ability to predict when we are near sharp pieces of plastic, does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptoad Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 They have a responsibilty to make sure their store is safe for the purpose it is intended for. This time it was only a coat, next time it could a childs eye. You should have reported it straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 No it stops you from approaching it in the first place. "ooh pointy thing, lets rub up against it" Common sense makes you omniscient then? Or did you imagine that there was a big sign over it saying "pointy thing here" and the OP then walked into it because his common sense failed?

deccie joe Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 I would like to update all you peeps, I did report it at the time, I wasn't being clumsy I just didn't expect to have to avoid such a thing that could do so much damage. My coat was expensive and is now wrecked,( I wonder if all the people on here that posted nasty comments own any nice clothes)I wasn't in a park, it wasn't raining in the store either!! Anyway, I have been fully refunded for my very expensive coat( thank you very much ), I didn't go into the store looking like a hobo and don't expect to leave looking like one either! The reason this country is buggered is probably because we as a nation just sit back and let others walk all over them and not stand up for what is right. Thanks for all your comments, even the ones which were not helpfully at all. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE LOSERS, BUT IT IS BETTER TO BE A WINNER ;-), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladesman Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Report it at the time and hopefully the shop you are in will sort it for you. Although you can't fault some stores for questioning it as there is always someone on the hustle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emily Davison and Rosa Parkes would be proud of your victory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
