Stupid warnings

What stupid warnings have you seen? Not google search stupid warnings and post and laugh, but ones you have actually seen.

To start off, I have a hair straightner that said not to use while sleeping.
And the frozen pizza I get tells you not to eat pizza frozen.

    I've got a pair of jeans that say "Remove jeans before washing". Peanut butter also informs you that it contains nuts.

    I've seen a hair drier with a "Do not use in the shower' label on the cord.

    My mum bought a bagel that said "Keep refrigerated" on one side and "Do not refrigerate" on the other for her lunch at work the next day.

    We bunged it in the fridge anyway. Meh.

    And of course... "Do not drink before using heavy machinery" on beer is always fun!

    Thing is... all these warning are stupid...

    But some of the companies are forced to do it... you will always get the one idiot who eats a pack of penuts and then trys to sue KP because he is alergic to penuts!
    It does make me laugh that we live in a world like this now days... like people trying to sue McDonalds, saying that its there fault they are fat! Why dont you just stop eating McDonalds you twat!! You know its bad for you!

    Because people these days want it all.
    Plus it's a chance for a quick buck, no?

    TBH. If you are that stupid you don't gather these things you should be allowed to cock up. So other idiots learn from your stupidity.

    Peanuts. WARNING: Might contain Peanuts.

    If you are too stupid to realise that, or that Ciggies will kill you, or that jumping into a Volcano MIGHT not be a good idea, fuck you.

    I always like the "please enjoy responsibly" on booze. Bugger that, if I want to binge drink and destroy my liver I will!

    I've seen this on the box of a bar of soap: "Use it like any soap". :confused: (Someone commented on this with "Okay, I won't plant it in the garden.")

    Not the same kind of warning, but I've seen a sign on a square (far from where I live) that says "Do not throw sea on the square."

    Could have sworn I heard about a thing with McD's ages ago where because they didn't have 'caution: hot' on their coffee cups, they sued them when they spilt hot coffee down themselves. That's right, of course you were unaware that coffee usually comes in a hot form.

    *Cries* I dread to think what you CRAAAZY Americans call it.

    Think of the Cooker. That flat bit with rings on and shit you put your Skillets and Saucepans on.

    Skillets. Fucking odd people.
