I accidentally stumbled onto this and I thought I should share. LOL!

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 a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping.
(Hm, 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 Rowenta 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, uh...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 God...was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

As funny as it seems NOW - the christmas light one was put on for a good reason. Back in the olden days (aka - when I was still a kid in elementary/middle school) - the lights were designed specifically for Indoor Use OR specifically for Outdoor Use - and they weren't interchangeable like they are today. So - when they first upgraded the indoor to be usable outdoors - you could find boxes saying "Indoor Use Only"/"Outdoor Use Only"/ or "Indoor or Outdoor Use" (sorry - just had to explain that one - but it is redundant now that they're all suitable for use either inside or out.)
