I stole this from someone on facebook, but it is so funny, I think everyone should have a peek:
In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed by stupidity, here are some actual label instructions found on consumer goods.
On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping.
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
On a Swanson frozen dinner: Serving suggestion: Defrost. (But it's just a suggestion.)
On Tesco's tiramisu dessert (printed on the bottom of box): Do not turn upside-down.
On Marks & Spencer bread pudding: Product will be hot after heating.
On packaging for a Rowenta iron: Do not iron clothes on body.
On Boot's children's cough medicine: Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication.
On Nytol sleep aid: Warning: May cause drowsiness.
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. (I gotta admit, I'm curious.)
On Sainsbury's peanuts: Warning: contains nuts.
On an American Airlines packet of peanuts: Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts.
On a child's Superman costume: Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly.
On a Swedish chain saw: Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals.

My brother used to call his youngest daughter "baby danger". He said that she was the reason they put those danger labels on buckets, with the child stuck in it head first.
Yep. She's waaaay too much like me. Poor thing.
This scares me because there are seriously people this dumb in the world that they need instructions on what to do with a bag of peanuts! OY!
i'm grateful for any instructions that are written in english these days.
One wonders if some of them aren't done just to mes with people. Open bag, eat nuts" for example.
Don't those things end up on products because someone does something stupid? WTF w/the chainsaw?!!!
Oh great..Now you tell me about the chainsaw!
Okay, I know Scandinavians are a little odd, but those chainsaw instructions just scared me.
I will NOT be dating any Swedes.
I love that last one...
that is too funny, especially the chainsaw one. :)
On a Japanese food processor: Not to be used for the other use. (I gotta admit, I'm curious.)
Don't! Hard to explain at the emergency room after 3 Am. Trust me.
Just the pick-me-up I needed! And...now I need to find out who brought about the "genital" warning. Must have been a Darwin Awards candidate.
Oh, now I'm going to start reading all those instructions I never used to read, just in hopes of finding more of these!
I love the message on the Japanese food processor--I am curious, as well! *grin*
Thanks for the laugh. What the hell are those Swedish people up to?
love all of them....I like to see how creative the weather stuff is in the paper...some clouds, mostly cloudy, more clouds, cloudy, average cloudiness.....
Damnit! I'm taking this superhero costume back!
