Saw a HUGE bag of walnuts that had the following warning: May contain nuts. Really? Gee, I don't know that I could have figured that one out on my own!

Another I saw was a clothing label that said: Do not iron while wearing. Do people do that? If so, I'd like to meet them! 

Have you seen any funny/silly/downright ignorant warnings?

Enjoy your day!

I read something that said -  if it gets into your eyes- wash with copious amounts of water.

Since these things are written for idiots why would they use a word like copious?

I have some sleeping pills that have a caution on them that says- warning- may cause drowsiness lol Like Duh that's what I'm taking them for.

I thought the one that says "Never trust a fart (post op)" was pretty funny.

Until.......just saying.

And we can all thank the sue-happy consumers for those idiot-proof labels. Remember the lady who got coffee at a McDonald's drive thru and tried to drive away with it in her lap? Well...she sued and WON! And that's why McDonald's coffee cups now say: "Caution: Contents extremely HOT!"

::shaking head::

It's the way companies are CYA-ing themselves from lawsuits.

I was just going to curl my hair and my curling iron says: Caution...may burn eyes. True story. WTF? I'm not curling my eyelashes with it! Who the hell managed to burn their eyes with a curling iron and how much did they win in the lawsuit!! :)

My aunt bought my little cousin a Superman costume for Halloween.  The label said "Wearing costume does not enable user to fly."  Seriously.

Makes you wonder what some idiots did for the manufacturers to include the label.
