Funny Warnings

[Guest joelvardy]

Well I thought I would ask for your funniest warnings as I have just heard one that made me laugh.

ch4   " The 100 Greatest War Films " At the start - " This program contains scenes of WAR! "

Also the packets of salted peanuts that say " Contains Nuts "

Just want to hear yours

Not quite what your asking for, but I had so share just the same... 

I remember back, I must have about 12, and was just starting to mow the lawn to earn some pocket money.

Dad had me outside, and was showing me how to change the blades on the mower. Well this packet of blades came with a set of instructions, and the first instruction was. Step1. Please turn off / stop the lawn mower....... My first thought was what idiot would attempt to change the blades on a running lawn mower.....

I honestly don't know whats worse, the fact that I've remembered this stupid instruction after all these years, or the fact that I've met people to which this rule would apply.

Cheers.

well on some packs ect like you mentioned are very silly and I just wondered if you have seen any that made you laugh!

On the side of a packet of headache relief tablets i found a nice side effect listed....

the last time i bought a new computer, i picked it up and took it home and straight away opened the box, looked at it all shiny and new, i decided to read the instructions, only to see - "please let your new computer aclimatise before opening" - this was stated on the instructions inside the box?

do they think we are all superman or inspector gadget?

Classic!

When w got a dehumidifier for the shed it said on thing it said,   Water and electrics don't mix,  please keep in a dry place????? []  Funny I thought they were there to take the water from the air in the room?

well, that grasy grey grease for tamiya differentials...we all have it

why is there written DON'T EAT???

ahaahahahahah

[MikeT]

When you get shoes, or something electrical there is a packet of sillica gel, in a little bag that says DO NOT EAT all over it....

....... that suggests that someone bought a toaster or something and thought, what the badword is this, i'll eat it.

LOL!

[Chupa1uk]

The only ting is, when I see a sign saying "Do Not eat" I have an even bigger urge to taste it! LOL!  Same as the bit in the chippy that keeps the fish hot having the sign "HOT, Do Not Touch", there is always the temptation to touch it just to check.....hence I have no fingerprint on my index finger LOL  ;-)

How about the warning on coffee cups from machines or MacD's...

CAUTION:Contents may be hot

Errr yeah I hope so!!!!

[MikeT]

FBS- That's because some stupid american woman was driving whilst drinking a cup of Coffee from Macky-D's, she spilt the drink over her legs, badly burning them, and sued Mackies for not warning that it's hot!

IT'S COFFEE, YOU EXPECT IT TO BE HOT!

[fatboyslim]

Yeah I know, stella whatsherface wasn't it??

[tupers]

Im just thining out lound here but shouldn't she have noticed it was hot when she started driking it and thought "hmm maybe I should be care full not to spill this".[:^)]

As far as warnings go when ever I ran my old tamiya mini I uste to toch the big resistor thing to see how hot it really was. I also like the fact that tamiya tell you not to use thier High Lift in on mud, gravel or water. Kind of made me wonder why they made it big and off road lookikng.

On a packet of rat poison:

Contents harmful if swallowed.

Some people see big company with big bank account and will use the law to make some money if they can.  The legal department for these big company will do whatever it takes to protect the company from law suit like hindsight for the hot coffee and MacDonald. I guess old lady thought she bought ice-coffee from MacDonald.

 Another warning found in a mobile home operation manual,  believe by Winnabgo, where the driver must drive the vehicle when the cruise control is engaged.  No brainer right? Some owner engaged the cruise control while driving, go up and made coffee.  Needless to say the mobile home crashed and he sued for no stating clearly the vehicle operator must continue to drive the truck after the cruise control was engaged.  I guess he thought crusie control is like auto pilot in a plane.  (don't know if he won in the end) 

But is interesting to story behind some of these warning labels.

not a warning as such, but at work we are due our 1st audit, and have found we need to have a 'safe log', this document contains sensative details like the access code to the safe, so for security reasons it has to be kept...........................................in the safe[*-)] so if we forget the code, its ok cos we have a record of it..............................................in the safe[:'(]

Sounds about right, like all of those times you put something somewhere SAFE and you can NEVER remember where you put the object lol

[MikeT]

Here's a good one;

On the bottom of my gas powered soldering iron, it says

"make sure fire is off before refuelling. stop refuelling once gas starts overflowing "

Once again, OBVIOUS things, but i suppose they gotta cover their behinds.

I just looked at the can of lighter fluid form my zippo and the side of it says   "WARNING FLAMABLE". Im glad it is really because other wise I may as well fill my lighter with water.[]
