In Honor Of Stupid People

Join the ranks of the galactically stupid!

In Honor of Stupid People( not us )

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

On a Sears hairdryer:
Do not use while sleeping.
(Darn, and 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 how???....)

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

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom):
"Do not turnupsidedown."
(Well...duh, a bit late, huh)!

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding:
"Product will be hot after heating."
(...And you thought????...)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron:
"Do not iron clothes on body."
(But wouldn't this save me more time)?

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 forklifts.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid:
"Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(And...I'm taking this because???....)

On most brands of Christmas lights:
"For indoor or outdoor use only."
(As opposed to...what)?

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 Sainsbury's peanuts:
"Warning: contains nuts."
(Talk about a news flash)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts:
"Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."
(Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)

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?)

This just remined me of a lecture at uni a few years ago. The guest lecturer was talking about all increased litigation, insurance costs, disclaimers, etc. He jokingly said that soon, they'd have to have a warning sign about the folding seats at sportsgrounds or in this lecture hall. Someone coughed, and pointed out the "CAUTION: Seats are folding" sign behind the lecturer.

In defense of the Japanese food processor and the Swedish chain saw, there is obviously a language issue involved here. Unfortunately, Americans have not figured out yet that people from other countries have to learn English to communicate with them and sometimes they make mistakes.
