Quoth Kisa View PostWarning label on my hairdryer says not to use while bathing because, y'know, that's when all people dry their hair.
Quoth Mytical View PostWell it was in pictures, but I noticed a very strange warning years ago on a plastic tub (that came with a lid). The picture was that of a child in the tub with one of those 'do not' signs over it..and the next one was the lid being closed on said child...."If you pray very hard, you can become a cat person." -Angela, "The Office"

All the packets of mixed nuts that we sell in the petrol station have "May contain nuts" on them. Well, I would hope so, otherwise we're selling bags of air.
My brother, who worked as an electrictian for a while, told me about a label he saw on a blow torch. "Do not use to dry hair". That means that somewhere, someone did use a blow torch to dry their hair... the mind boggles. O_o

Waiting for the day I see a warning label on a bottle of liquor, wine, or beer that reads "Warning: May Contain Alcohol." Yes, it's ridiculous. But so are so many existing warning labels.
This thread inspires me to go get a t-shirt made. Black t-shirt, yellow decal with black print in the style of warning labels. It would read, simply: "Warning: May Contain Rum." Though I suppose a beer one would work just as well.

Quoth Pixilated View PostI wonder if that came about because of the infamous case in which some idiot of a woman sued McDonald's (I think) because their coffee was so hot that when she tucked it between her thighs to leave the drive-through, it spilled and she got burned ...

Quoth hinakiba777 View PostI find warning labels can be a little silly at times. I mean Peanut Butter "May Contain Peanuts" is silly, though "May contain Tree nuts" is important. As I know people who are allergic to tree nuts, but not peanuts.

Quoth Jester View Post.. Black t-shirt, yellow decal with black print in the style of warning labels. It would read, simply:I am not an a**hole. I am a hemorrhoid. I irritate a**holes!

Quoth Kisa View PostMy hairspray says not to store it at temps above 120F, because most people store beauty products in the oven
Also, remember that many warning labels are there not so much as a caution, but to limit the manufacturer's liability in the event of an incident. We've all dealt with customers, it's actually kind of smart to assume your end users are complete idiots, even if they aren't.Last edited by ADeMartino; 05-05-2013, 01:30 AM. Reason: added a thought or two, fixed a minor error

How about those little packet they put in shoe boxes? The read,"Silica Gel. Do not eat."
I'm wondering how many people said to themselves, "I wonder how this would taste on fries?"This site proves Corey Taylor right. Man really is a "four letter word."
I'm now using my Deviant Art page to post my humor.

Quoth ADeMartino View PostMy favorite stupid label is the one on cans of charcoal starter, warning that the contents are flammable. Duhhh, really?
I would think that there was a risk of fire with something called a FIRE LOG.This site proves Corey Taylor right. Man really is a "four letter word."
