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 Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- 'Do not turn upside down.' (well...duh, a bit late, huh!)
On Sainsbury's peanuts -- 'Warning: contains nuts.' (talk about a news flash)
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 Marks &Spencer Bread Pudding -- 'Product will be hot after heating.' (...and you thought????...)
On a Sears hairdryer -- 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 packaging for a Rowenta iron -- 'Do not iron clothes on body.' (but wouldn't this save me time?)
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 an American Airlines packet of nuts -- 'Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts.' (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 God..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even chuckle)...
**** Blessed are the cracked: for it is they who let in the light *****
Have a wonderful week!

We have to suffer the fools.
Um.
I resemble a couple of those.
I don't know about you, but i need those instructions. Without them, i would have no clue as to what to do or what not to do!!!
Happy SUNDAY!!!!
These were great!
I used to have a patient who loved the Swanson's frozen chicken dinner - AND - he'd eat it frozen but only in the summer. He claimed it was just too cold to eat frozen things in winter.
I worked with the severely and persistently mentally ill for a few years.
It just so happens that I ran into this guy in Minneapolis recently. He asked why I never came to visit him. I told him I didn't know where he was living now. "Saint Paul!" He proudly exclaimed. When I asked what he was doing in Minneapols, he said, "It's warmer over here!"
I miss that job... sometimes. :)
Cool and funny stuff. I'm an instruction looker from way back... not for good positive instructions, but the ones I can make fun of. I guess that's positive in itself. :-)
SUNDAY!

Who are the people who need these labels???? I want to gather them up and send them to a frozen island in Canada!
Stupid dummies.
Oh I just love to think bout what happened that we have to HAVE those warnings.!
