A chainsaw that said "Do not stop chain with testicles."

How to cook a poptart in the microwave... wtf... especially since it is only for like 3 seconds... And, like Ellen Degeneres (pretty sure it was her) said, instructions on shampoo...

 

[rhyno435]

There is an instruction on a chainsaw that says "Do not attempt to stop with genitals".

EDIT: I just noticed that somebody before me posted this already, oops.

I like the ones on coffee saying that its hot i mean really?

But yes people are retarded and need to hear or read these things so they don't die, i wouldn't mind it though

i feel the same about the coffee cups, like
yes i know its f@*king hot you can stop telling me now

Opening a box of cereal.. its not fair that america tells me how to open cereal properly. what do they want to tell me how to feed my goldfish without human brains

Because if they didn't have the signs in the bathrooms someone would probably eat the soap and sue them for it.

The DSi (I think) safety booklet that Kotaku had scans of.

Do not drop in bath, do not drop in toilet, do not smash with hammer, do not step on, do not eat.

Kind of common sense...

recently i went to Disney World, and in all the bathrooms, they had instructions on how to wash your hands! you really think it would be common sense! tell me what you think is the most unnecessary instructions you've seen or heard about.

Alot of kids go into those bathrooms, It wouldn't surprise me if they where aimed at them & to educate them on proper hygiene.

I hate it when waiters give you hot food and tell you it's hot, or like someone said Coffee with "Warning: Hot" labels on them.
It's so terribly condescending, but scubs like to sue people when they get burnt by unlabeled coffee and make the world more dull for the rest of us.

This world will end up wrapped in Styrofoam for all our troubles, mark my words.

a "Do not turn this product upside down" warning .... at the bottom of the tin -_-

or a "May contain nuts" warning ........ ON A PACKET OF NUTS

 

[ffanxii4ever]

I saw a bag of peanuts once that said "may contain traces of nuts".

Of course! It's the perfect ploy...

I actually did find out later that somebody had tried to sue the company, because they were allergic to nuts, but ate the peanuts anyway, and alleged that the company hadn't pointed out that the product had nuts in. So it was probably a safety measure against something like that again.

Well, technically peanuts are not nuts, they are legumes (they have more in common with peas than they do with true nuts, if you do not believe me taste a fresh peanut. It tastes like a pea) In fact, most "nuts" that you eat in say a bag of mixed "nuts" are not actually true nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios, walnuts; none of these are true nuts either)

So that is why all "nut" companies must put the warning label on their products, in case there is any true nut contamination (like hazelnuts)

What that tells me is that there ARE people who don't know how to wash their hands... which is disturbing as mutant aliens living in my basement and experimenting on me at night... okay, not quite that creepy.

I think there should be a LAW telling people to wash their hands, I mean unless the bathroom has sewer water coming out of the faucet and semen for soap, there aren't that many good reasons to not wash your hands short of "the building is on fire" or "there is a psychopath trying to kill me".
