Accept the result


There's a reason China isn't overrun with ambulance chasing lawyers, and a big clue can be found in a sign posted in our hotel bathroom, in both English and Chinese.

The English text is a bit clumsy, but Deb confirms that it is faithful to the Chinese original:
Be careful for slippery floor
Otherwise accept the result
It may sound a bit blunt, but I can't really argue with the message. Taking responsibility for your actions and their consequences is assumed to be normal adult behavior in this "undeveloped" country. Maybe in the US, McDonalds needs to post a few signs:
Be careful drinking hot coffee when driving
Otherwise accept the result

Be careful eating fatty fast foods
Otherwise accept the result
