Silly,strange or downright ridiculous info warnings or instructions

[gillian w]

I have just bought a pair of professional heated booties for pedicure and amongst the warnings actually written on the boots are 'Not to be used for warming small animals'... oh damn and i really wanted to do that.
Also a dj on the radio today was saying how he bought a pair of shoes and on the box was written 'average contents 2'.
Anyone else come across any other little gems.

slightly different but i was in a shoe shop and they only have all the right shoes out to try on....so i tried on the right shoe in my size (6) and liked them so i took it to the counter and asked the lady if i could have the left shoe...she asked..."did you want that in the same size".....:lol:

I bought some loose face powder from clinque and it said not to be ingested also some sausages that said warning, hot when cooked

I bought a knife which came in a sleeve which bore the label :-

Contents may be sharp

My heated booties say 'Not to be worn when in bath or shower?'

I was wondering where that tingeling feeling was coming from

I love this thread!! I heard the one on the radio today about the shoebox saying "average contents - 2", that really made me laugh.

Here's one that always perplexes me, maybe someone can enlighten me.
On the Imperial Leather foamburst shower gel, there is a bold warning in capitals on the back saying "DO NOT USE IN THE BATH".

Any ideas???

I bought a fancy cake once that said on the bottom "DO NOT TURN OVER". Understand the sentiment, but shouldn't it have said that on the top? Good thread!

Probably if you used it as bubble bath it would produce a million bubbles!? Who knows!?

I have a bottle of toilet cleaner that says 'do not squirt into the eyes' honestly.....................

I bought a packet of mixed nuts that said on the back, warning may contain nuts! Made me laugh

 

[Ophala]

i wonder if it's coz it makes it really slippery and people would sue if the fell!!

this is a great thread, im trying to think of some.

the sad thing is there must be people that do it otherwise what would cause them to put the warnings on in the first place!? xx

Once in a hotel bathroom, I saw a wrapped bar of soap.
Printed on the wrapper were the words - " Remove before use"
Dhuh :smack:

I brought a cough medicine for my daughter, it was for 1 to 12 yr olds. The warning was this medicine may cause drowziness, do not drive or operate large machinery. Like my 2 yr old is out joyriding every night. lol xx

I went through Maccy D's drive through a couple of years back, placed my order and the guy actually asked me if I would like to eat in or take out. errrrm duhhhh open the doors I will eat in thanks!!!

There is one I heard off my norweigen cousin. He bought a chainsaw and it said on the box do not stop chain with hands or genitals!!! errrr ok!! Just how many people have tried this for them to put that on the box?? Or is that a warning to the wives out there for their cheating hubbies lol!

lol!!! Good thread!!!

Yea, i always get confused by the bags of peanuts warning that they contain nuts too!

In my rowing machine instruction book it states 'do not allow pets on the equiptment'. Yes because I'm going to come home to find my cat sat on the seat trying to pull the bar!

I just had a look at the warning on the Imperial lether foamburst again, its actually a bit more specific. It states "DO NOT USE AS A BATH FOAM". So, I can only imagine you would end up with bubbles at ceiling height or something.

The coffee cups at McDonalds make me giggle, saying "WARNING - CONTENTS ARE HOT". Although this has eminated from the famous american case where a lady successfully sued McDonalds when she scalded herself by spilling the hot coffee on herself. She received a large settlement payout from Mac D's for this, when in fact she should have received a slap on the head for being stupid!!!

That reminds me of the time when me and Simon went to Streetwise Sports and he found a pair of trainers he wanted and asked for them in a size 10. The guy came back with one shoe size 10 and one shoe size 9, then said 'we only have these 2 shoes, you can have £5 off the price though'

We were like..... erm ok....... I'm size 10, why would we want a size 9 and a size 10!?
