In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed to stupidity...

...here are some actual label instructions on consumer
goods.

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

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

On a bar of Dial soap -- "Directions: Use like regular soap."
(and that would be???....)

On some Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost."
(but, it's just a suggestion.)

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn
upside
down."
(well...duh, a bit late, huh!)

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding -- "Product will be hot after
heating."
(no way!)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body."
(but wouldn't this save me time?)

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
bulldozers.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(I'm taking this because?)

On most brands of Christmas lights -- "For indoor or outdoor use
only."
(as opposed to what?)

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.)

On Sainsbury's peanuts -- "Warning: contains nuts."
(talk about a news flash)

American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions: Open packet, eat
nuts."
(Step 3: say what?)

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.)

I think the superman costume one is my favorite....but the cough medicine and the frito's one are really good too

p.s. if you go to Jacks and get a milkshake the side of the cup says "caution may be hot"

The peanuts one was definitely great. Oh, and the hair dryer. how did they guess I do my hair in my sleep?! But now that I've been warned, of course I'll not do it anymore. Ever. Promise.

One of my friends did the whole "ironing pants while you're wearing them" thing... It didn't work out so well! Hahaha!
