While making the bed this morning I noticed the washing instructions for the electric blanket. It actually said ( REMOVE FROM ELECTRICITY SUPPLY BEFORE WASHING) . Have you ever seen a stupid sign or instruction?

Driving down the M5 a couple of weeks ago, one of the overhead signs read ..."Sign not in use". A sign to tell me that it was not a sign. 😕

They have to cater for the vast majority of potential puchasers who will be thick as Merde de Cochon.

Mind you - I once had an electric toaster which said Not Dishwasher Safe!

I was prescribed Aspirin by my GP and on collecting from chemist I read on the label attached by pharmacist 'may contain aspirin'

They put these labels on because some idiot has tried to claim compensation for doing the thing it warns against; or the law states the warning must be there (on packets of peanuts, aspirin etc).

My coffee jar tells me not to carry the jar by the lid.

The fact that a cup of coffee didn't carry a warning that it was hot cost McDonalds dearly. It is solely beause of the stupidity of the awarding judge that we now get all these declarations of common sense.

barry1010

Somebody must have been carrying the jar by the lid without making sure it was on properly. Jar dropped, s/he tried to claim compensation

Agreed, Canary. The companies have to protect themselves from idiots and the law

The warning notices cost nothin to produce and they do cover the firms from legal action.

That motorway sign one is surely similar to the "this page is intentionally left blank" which we now see sometimes in publications (although such a statement is actually an oxymoron)
