The World's Dumbest Instruction Labels?

These are actual instruction labels on


consumer goods:





On Sears hairdryer:


Do not use while sleeping.


(Gee, that%26#039;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 Swann frozen dinners:


Serving suggestion: Defrost.


(But it%26#039;s %26#039;just%26#039; a suggestion!)





On Tesco%26#039;s Tiramisu dessert: (printed on bottom of the box)


Do not turn upside down.


(Too late! you lose!)





On Marks %26amp; Spencer Bread Pudding:


Product will be hot after heating.


(Are you sure? Let%26#039;s experiment.)





On packaging for a Rowenta iron:


Do not iron clothes on body.


(But wouldn%26#039;t that save more time?)


(Whose body?)





On Boot%26#039;s Children%26#039;s cough medicine:


Do not drive car or operate machinery.


(We could do a lot to reduce the construction accidents if we just kept those 5 year olds off those fork lifts.)

The World%26#039;s Dumbest Instruction Labels?
Those are hilarious-here%26#039;s a star
Reply:Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
Reply:do not use product if seal is broken Then how do i get product out?


good one star
Reply:omg you just made my day
Reply:cant stop laughing lmao especially the christmas light 1
Reply:It%26#039;s funny the stuff they have to remind us of. I just checked to see if I could find something and sure enough I did. On a bottle of easy cheese it says:





Directions: For best results, remove cap, hold applicator tip close to food, press tip firmly, and move slowly across food surface.





Just thought it was funny that they had to remind us to remove the cap.
Reply:There%26#039;s even an organization that hunts down wacky warning labels on products and hands out cahs awards to people who send in the craziest warning labels (the people have to provide photographic evidence of the label in question).





One of my favorites that got honorable mention one year was on a bottle of dried bobcat urine used to keep pests away from garden plants that warned %26quot;Not for human consumption.%26quot; (*sob* %26quot;But I didn%26#039;t know you weren%26#039;t supposed to consume it! I thought it was a martini flavoring!%26quot;)





Others:





A digital thermometer that can be used to take a person%26#039;s temperature several different ways warns: %26quot;Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally.%26quot; (O.K., say it with me: %26quot;EEEEWWWWW!!!%26quot;)





A popular manufactured fireplace log warns: “Caution - Risk of Fire” (well, gee, I should certainly hope so!).





A label on a baby stroller warns: “Remove child before folding.%26quot; (%26quot;Honey, where%26#039;s little Bobby? I haven%26#039;t seen him since our walk!%26quot;)





A warning label on a baking pan: %26quot;Ovenware will get hot when


used in oven.%26quot; (The person who sent in the photo of the warning had circled it, and written %26quot;Well duh!%26quot; next to it.)





The most recent 1st place winner was on a warning label on a washing machine at a laundromat that warns, “Do not put any person in this washer.” (But...but...it makes me so clean and shiny!)
Reply:I don%26#039;t know if been named but on a Razr Cellphone Instruction Manual it says %26quot;Do Not Microwave%26quot;
Reply:LOL dude, these are hilarious!!
Reply:I really liked that Korean knife one. I had to do a double take, cuz I thought it did say keep out of reach of children at first. Don%26#039;t want those knives getting in kids and getting bloody.
Reply:Those are almost as good as the frivolous lawsuit list I saw once...





This lady was in a furniture store, and tripped over a kid who%26#039;s mother wasn%26#039;t keeping tabs on him... The lady sued the store, and somehow won... even though it was HER OWN KID!!!!








A guy sued the city because one of their trucks backed into his car... He won, even though he was the (unauthorized) driver of the city truck. Yeah, he stole the city truck, was joyriding in it and backed into his own car. Then he sued the city and won!








Have you ever read the Darwin Awards?... First prize each year is awarded posthumously. In order to qualify as a finalist, one must improve the human race by removing themselves from the gene pool.











Edit- Thank you, billbo for the wonderful abdominal workout!!!!! ROFL!!! (Good thing I had a chair!)
