In honour of stupid people (not us of course!)‏

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through
stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on
Consumer goods.

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) --
'Do not turn upside down.'
(well...duh, a bit late, huh!)

On Sainsbury's peanuts --
'Warning: contains nuts.'
(talk about a news flash)

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine --
'Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking
This medication.'
(We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we
Could just get those 5 year-olds with head-colds off those bulldozers.)

On Marks &Spencer Bread Pudding --
'Product will be hot after heating.'
(...and you thought????...)

On a Sears hairdryer --
Do not use while sleeping.
(That's the only time I have to work on my hair.)

On a bag of Fritos --
You could be a winner! No purchase necessary.
Details inside.
(the shoplifter special?)

On a bar of Dial soap --
'Directions: Use like regular soap.'
(and that would be???....)


On some Swanson frozen dinners --
'Serving suggestion: Defrost.'
(but, it's just a suggestion.)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron --
'Do not iron clothes on body.'
(but wouldn't this save me time?)

On a Japanese food processor --
'Not to be used for the other use.'
(now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)


On an American Airlines packet of nuts --
'Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts.'
(Step 3: say what?)

On a child's Superman costume --
'Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly.'
(I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)

On a Swedish chainsaw --
'Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals.'
(Oh my God..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

 

lol

on my oven
"caution when the stovetop is on it is hot"

 

I think one of the best is on paper coffee cups - "Caution: Contents may be hot"

Really? I thought I'd ordered cold coffee...

 

Well, if you have ever see that Seinfeld episope where Kramer tries to sue the Co. because he spilt hot coffee on his grion, you will know why that pedantic warning is there.

 

On the bottom of my keyboard:

"WARNING: Wrong side" :-D

 

Appeals to my sense of humour. Love this one. :major Bazza

 

I have always wondered about warnings like that. You have to figure companies have been sued and lost some money to make them have some of the stuff they have. A couple of my favs...

On a Cig lighter: "Warning, flammable."
Duh, I don't use them to put out fires.

On a firecracker: "Caution, explosive."
If it doesn't explode, it would be a dud.

:-D

 

like this warning sign in sweden:

so, just how many times did that happen before they put a warning sign there?

A box of fireworks I had said "Caution do not hold!" Shame, I've just left them in the shed

 

great thread

 

Ha just scanning for stupid people on google and it gave me the pic of the sharp edges sign. Led me here, and after reading the posts I had to join. This is definatly my kind of humor.

 

In veiw of the fact that God limited the intelligence of a man it seems unfair that he did not also limit his stupidity.

 

Welcome to MG :major

 

Well mcadam, that warning on coffee cups may not be as dumb as you think!! A few years ago, a woman ordered coffee from McDonalds and spilled it on her lap. Well, she sued McDonalds for NOT listing that the contents were hot:confused And, the bad part....she WON!! Final settlement 1 MILLION DOLLARS!! Welcome to Mississippi...where you can actually win a lawsuit for being a complete IDIOT!!!

 

says it all :-D

 

I like that one oldandconfused! :-D

 

pearls before swine is one of my favorites, right next to bloom county and the far side LOL

 

dilbert is another good one

 

yea, i forgot about dilbert

 

On my printer:
Paper must be instered before printing...

 

(no battery compartment)

DUH!

 

Again ... On my Epson (Perfection 1670) scanner intructions "Do not turn upside down as it may permanently damage scanner"

On the Epson Registration Page they ask for "Serial Number"

Location of Serial Number - On the bottom of the Scanner

 

OMFG!!! That was so freaking perfect.

lmao all the way to work and back on that one.
