Quoth Deevil View PostMy favorite silly warning is on the soap dispensers at my work; per the MSDS sticker, if you come in contact with the soap inside the dispenser, you need to "wash skin with soap & water" ."Enough expository banter.

Quoth wolfie View PostI'm not surprised. It's simply the military manifestation of the Dilbert Principle - promote the idiots to management to get them out of the way of the productive workers.
But then, officers are commissioned by Congress, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

And then, of course, there's the classic warning on a curling iron, "Do not use internally.""Hi, this is Silver. How may I lose my self respect in order to cater to your over- inflated ego today?" --- Silverrb

Quoth Lace Neil Singer View PostThe best one I ever saw was when I worked at the pet store. It was on some dog blankets: "Washable dog blankets. Caution - Remove dog first."
I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

Quoth Silent-Hunter View PostI know carbolic soap can be a bit harsh if you don't wash it off, maybe it was that. You have to rinse it well or it can burn.
And back in the day, when people weren't measuring as accurately, and they were using homemade lye, sometimes the lye wasn't totally saponified. So that meant that some lye was left, and it could potentially burn the skin. Thus the idea that old fashioned soaps were harsh, and not as good quality. Of course, many people made soap very well, but not everyone. Nowadays, soapmakers add a little extra fat to make sure all the lye goes through the saponification process and there is NO lye left in the final product.
I need to make soap again.Replace anger management with stupidity management.

They are real
Quoth XCashier View PostI'd say the folks who write these kind of warnings are being wiseacres. They know it's stupid, and they have to do it, so they have fun with it.

Also, around Maryland where I used to live, the gas pumps don't even say not to use your phone.
Before they replaced their pumps, the pumps at Flynn's truck stop in Massachusetts had warning labels on them saying that it was illegal to dispense gasoline into unapproved containers. Why is this odd? Read back to where I described Flynn's as a TRUCK STOP. Yes, these labels citing laws about dispensing GASOLINE were on DIESEL-ONLY pumps.Any fool can piss on the floor.
