In Honor of Stupid People

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed to stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods:

On a Sears hairdryer—Do not use while sleeping.
(Shoot, 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 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 Rowena 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, ooh...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 ..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

I had a set of hair straighteners which said "Do not use with bare feet"
I've heard of hairy toes, but it seemed a little ridiculous.......until I put them down on the floor after, and put my foot on them.

Oooouuuuucccchhhh!!

Makes me one of the stoopid people, I guess!!!

My personal favourite is translations. I have a dive jacket that's made by a spanish company and the instructions are hilarious! The Japanese are fantastic at translations too.
