This would be funny...if it wasn't so pathetic

Sticker on a push lawn mower: "Blades are turning when engine is running"

Really?

Bumper sticker: "I brake for trains"

Good idea.

I had a hair dryer that had a warning sticker on it with multiple warnings. Among them was an admonition not to use it while showering or bathing.

The warnings are all there because at one time or another, some idiot actually did what the label is telling you not to do. Sure, common sense should tell you not to use a hair dryer while showering, but this world is full of idiots that dont know better. I have a solution though. Remove warning labels off of everything, and the problem will sort itself out!

Okay, so not only is this battery prone to leaking, it also like to discover lost civilizations? As a bonus, to dispose of it I should chuck it into the fireplace?

well, if americans didnt love law suits so much, they wouldnt have to put all these stupid warnings on everything.

Those stickers are a royal pain to get off the grip without leaving trace residue of glue.

Like would be better if they were hang tags.

Easy fix, Zippo fluid. Takes it off no problem. That is what I use to get those damn stickers off my golfclubs.

My car's sun shade actually had a warning which read "Do not attempt to drive vehicle with sun shade in place"

I always wondered, if you drilled a hole in the wall and put a warning sign "Do Not Insert Finger" how many people would. It would be great to have a hidden camera on it. "Stupid is as Stupid does" certainly rings true anymore.

My roomie once quoted me one (I didn't actually see it, but I believe him);
"Do not stop chain with hand or genitals" This was on a chain saw!!!

My home and office paper shredders both have warning signs not to insert your necktie or hand into the mechanism!!! :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Well, y'see yer Honor, it's a funny story... I really needed to stop that there chainsaw, but the warning label clearly said I weren't to go an'stop it with my hand. An' I really didn't want ta put down my beer anyhoo...

I have one I pulled off of my fire safe, "Not for storage of flameable materials"

with such a glut of lawyers in the market, a manufacurer has to cover their rear end.

I used to think some of these are fake, but for your viewing pleasure, I have put an emboldened asterisk (*) next to those warning labels which I have actually seen with my own two eyes. Amusing commentary added in parenthesis (sometimes not my own):

On a bicycle -- "Removing the wheel can influence the performance of the bicycle"
(You think?)

On a hammer-- "Misuse may lead to property damage and bodily injury."
(Oh...Hell yes!!!)

On a toilet brush-- "Do not use for personal hygiene."
(Unless you're homeless.)

On washing machine-- "Do not put any person in this washer"
(But my shower's broke!)

*On car sun shield-- "Do not drive with shield in place."
(Unless you've been drinking of course.)

On aerosol cheese can-- "Remove cap."
(But I'm not wearing a cap.)

*On a fireplace log -- "Caution: Risk of Fire."
(Yep...Hope so.)

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

*On a bar of Dial soap -- "Directions: Use like regular soap."
(Sound advice..I guess.)

*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."
(Whoops! Too late now.)

*On the ipod Shuffle -- "Do not eat."
(***?)

*On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding -- "Product will be hot after heating."
(I don't believe you.)

On electric cattle prod -- "For use on animals only."
(What if I kinda like it?)

*On packaging for a Rowenta iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body."
(Well, no...not on MY body.)

*On Boot's Children Cough Medicine -- "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication."
(If only we could keep all those medicated children from driving on the highway there would be so many fewer accidents.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(Thanks for the heads up, Einstein.)

On a Japanese food processor -- "Not to be used for the other use."
(Japanese instructions should be in a class of their own.)

*On Sainsbury's peanuts -- "Warning: contains nuts"
(Wow! I was expecting to find motor oil.)

*On an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."
(Honey? If you're not too busy...)

On a child's Superman costume -- "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."
(You know, he gets that from your side of the family.)

On a Swedish Chainsaw -- "Do not attempt to stop chainsaw with your hands or genitals."
(A lot of weird sh*t happens in Sweden.)

They're trying to cut down on the number of Darwin Award winners, I guess...

Actually. Some people sleep with hairdryers to provide warmth. It's weird (and creepy), and dangerous, but it's not uncommon.

My hatchet/hammer has the following, stamped into the head:

"Wear safety glasses, boy!"

I think THAT's the right kind of warning message. Those others just had me gasping for air, I'm laughing so hard.
