We are mild compared to this
therIn 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 hair dryer -
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 Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -
"Do not turn upside down." (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 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 bulldozers.)
On Nytol Sleep Aid -
"Warning: May cause drowsiness." (...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: 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 Gosh..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
e is hope for us!
