In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.
1. On a Sear's hairdryer:
"Do not use while sleeping."
[Darn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair.]
2.On a bag of Fritos:
"You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside."
[The shoplifter special?]
3. On a bar of Dial soap:
"Directions: Use like regular soap."
[And that would be how.....???]
4. On some Swanson frozen dinners:
"Serving suggestion: Defrost."
[But, it's "just" a suggestion.]
5. Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom):
"Do not turn upside down."
[Well...duh, a bit late, huh?]
6. On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding:
"Product will be hot after heating."
[... and you thought???]
7. On packaging for a Rowenta iron:
"Do not iron clothes on body."
[But wouldn't this save me more time?]
8. 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.]
9. On Nytol Sleep Aid:
"Warning: May cause drowsiness."
[And ...I'm taking this because???]
10. On most brands of Christmas lights:
"For indoor or outdoor use only."
[As opposed to... what?]
11. 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.]
12. On Sainsbury's peanuts:
"Warning: contains nuts."
[Talk about a news flash]
13.On an American Airlines packet of nuts:
"Instructions: open packet, eat nuts."
[Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?]
14. 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.]
15. 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?]
