1. On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping.
(and that's the only time I have to work on my hair.)

2. On a bag of Fritos:
You could be a winner! No purchase necessary.
Details inside.
(the shoplifter special?)


3. On a bar of Dial soap:
"Directions: Use like regular soap."
(and that would be how???....)
 
4. On some Swanson frozen dinners:
"Serving suggestion: Defrost."
(but, it's "just" a suggestion.)

5. On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom):
Don 't turn upside down."
(well...duh, a bit late, huh!)


6. On Marks &Spencer Bread Pudding:
"Product will be hot after heating."
(...and you thought????...)
 
7. On packaging for a Rowenta iron:
"Do not iron clothes on body."
(but wouldn't this save me more time?)


8. 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.)


9. On Nytol Sleep Aid:
"Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(and... I'm taking this because???...)
 
10. On most brands of Christmas lights:
"For indoor or outdoor use only."
(as opposed to... what?)


11. 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.)



12. On Sainsbury's peanuts:
"Warning: contains nuts."
(talk about a news flash)
 
13. On an American Airlines packet of nuts:
"Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."
(Step 3: maybe, uh... fly Delta?)

14. 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.)


15. 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?)
 
stupid warnings like these are to prevent lawsuits.

fake example:
"i tried to stop the chain with my hand, and it sawed off my hand!"
"didn't you think it might do that?"
"well i don't know...but it didn't tell me not to!!"
(later) the jury awards the plaintiff $50 million in damages.

:rolleyes: so many people lack common sense these days and then sue over it.

Seriously?? That is just wrong :|

Some people... :tsk:
 
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert: (printed on bottom of the box)
Do not turn upside down. (Too late! You lose!)

On a hotel provided shower cap in a box: Fits one head.
(really?)

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: Product will be hot after heating.
(Are you sure???Let's experiment.)
 
:lmao:

I have some packs of mini marshmallows for my lunch and on the back it says: (note: they are MINI marshmallows)

Eat one marshmallow at a time. Small children may need to cut marshmallows into smaller pieces. Always be supervised while eating.

:giggle:

i know! i can't think of any actual examples, but i know i've certainly read my share of "can you believe this idiot" lawsuit stories.



Here's a good one: I can't remember if it happened in Arizona or the LA area, but a bugler fell through the skylight of a house he was trying to rob and broke his leg.

He sued the owner of the house ... and won.
