Warning Labels and other stupidity

[supremegoddess]

I've seen America's Dumbest Laws, which jogged my memory about these stupid Warning Labels I saw the other day:

On a Superman costume: Wearing this suit does not enable you to fly (like, wtf?)
On a fireplace log: Caution -- risk of fire (hellooo, is there a brain up there?)
On a packet of nuts: Warning. Contains nuts. ( Who would've thought?)
On a shower cap: Fits one head (0_o)

Okay, I'm going to end the sarcastic tones ^_^ lol

I found some other ones on this site:

I found them pretty stupid and funny. ^^ Does anyone else have anything stupid like that? Any takers? *looks at Larry*

I've seen on a Dell Notebook: "Warning might not function if submerged!"

On a microwave oven: "Not fit for drying animals"

On an underpants pack(online picture, don't think they actually sell stuff like that around here): "Should be worn on the waist" and a diagram showing where on the waist...

and my favorite:

On a box of chocolate cream: Does not contain chocolate!

But all these are just so smart guys don't go and sue'em... if you don't know what I mean, got to Youtube

Yesterday Jean (dad's girlfriend who lives with us) bought a new iron and she read through the instruction booklet. We found one rule that confused us all:

"Do not use in or around water and other liquids."

But don't you need water to work an iron? That was the whole reason we got a new one, our old iron was spilling water everywhere.

Then Jean proceeded to methodically tear the instructions into little pieces, which shows what we think about the rules. :-P

On a clothes laundry bag:

Clothes must breathe. Do not store garments in this bag.

Ok, this is dumb! I just bought a new ballpoint pen, and on it's paint tube, in tiny fonts it wrote:

"Warning! Blue!"

Umm, yeah? I know it's blue, that's why I BOUGHT it in the first place!

Hah well maybe it's just to be extra safe! Who knows what another stupid person may do, "I'm suing you because there was NOT a warning label"

This isn't a warning label but it's from my chemistry textbook and it was talking about O₂ and in parentheses next to it it said (Pounced as Oh-Two) .

I haven't found any weird warning labels...YET.

I saw on a hair dryer once do not use in shower. Speaking of stupid warning labels have you guys read any from other countries translated to English? those are always good for a laugh.
this is a great site for lots of bad english translations on everything from signs, to snacks it's pretty funny stuff. www.engrish.com/

At a petting zoo:

Do not touch the animals.

Why call it a petting zoo if you're not allowed to touch the animals?

[Larry Laffer]

lol, this reminds me of another one(funny how these little buggers pop out):

In something that resembled a ballpark(more like soccerpark but meh): Stay off the grass!

At a *pool*: Swimming prohibited!(tho' considering the fact that the water was all gooey and s*it I doubt people would actually dare to dive in that thing, let alone swim)

Okay... this isn't a warning label or anything... But... I got a frappucino from Starbucks. As in Starbucks Coffee.... on the top of it it says... "coffee free" So.. that confuses me >_< lol Maybe I'm the only one... but yeah... still delicious though!!

On a Hot Pocket package:

Filling inside will be hot.

...what do you expect after warming it for 2 minutes,unless the microwave doesn't work properly.
