My high school mandatory epilepsy training for teachers and staff because the art teacher stepped over me while I was seizing on the floor during class. Other students had to carry me to the nurse because I couldn’t walk right after the seizure. Teacher wouldn’t even call the nurse to let her know what was up
A lot of Osha regulations.

Forgetful doesn’t mean stupid!

Lotteries. If people understood odds they’d never buy a ticket, or at least not in the numbers they do.
Lotteries are a tax on hope, not stupidity.
Dealer add-ons at a car dealership.
They can be good negotiating points, though. Often, they will reduce the price of the vehicle more than the cost of the add on because they make more profit on the add-on than the difference in price of the car. And often the add-ons are preinstalled, so they have to give them to you anyway. Not true for all brands or dealers, but works for some.
With my last car there was a windshield coating, leather seat coating and bumpers on the door edges. After getting them nearly at the price I wanted, I told them I’d buy the seat coating if they’d lower the price another thousand below my previous price. The windshield coating and bumpers were also on the car when I finally got it. But I didn’t get the warranty on them, of course.
Something like this happened to me. I ended up buying an extended warranty that I didn’t really want, but it was because I insisted that I’m not going to pay MSRP for this vehicle. They knocked off a couple grand, and I spent as much on the warranty. At least I got something for the money.
Well I also did get the warrantee on the seats, though I never needed to use it.
