I'm sure I'm not the only one who actually does this sometimes, especially with the front of a shirt. :wink:

Sad but true......a warning on a fan belt,

"Caution, vehicle must been in park with the engine shut off!"

Sad thing is, some nimrod musta tried this, as far as that goes, someone musta done ALL of these, why else would they have these warnings "D'OH!"

I heard of one on a chainsaw from Sweden: Do not attempt to stop chain with hands, feet or genital area. Ouch.

FreakyWxChick · #13 Postby **FreakyWxChick** » Tue Oct 07, 2003 1:36 am

This kind of ranks with when I have to call my ISP to tell them my internet service is down.

I press 500 buttons and then listen to a recording every 2 minutes that says..."For technical help or frequently asked questions, you may log on to http://www.verizon.net/help."

LOL It makes me mad every time I hear it.

Well, I guess all these warnings are due since that old lady, who dryed her little pet in a microwave oven and won the trial against the producer, because in the warnings it was not clearly stated "not for use as pet dryer".

In Italy customers are not so protected: at McDonald's the apple cake's pack reports in english and dutch "Caution, very hot" but not in italian.
I guess because no italian judge will fine McDonald's because somebody creamed his lips eating a cake...

When the package says - Shake Well Before Opening.......

I normally shake it as I put it into my shopping cart

I hope that's enough time!

Rainband · #17 Postby **Rainband** » Wed Oct 08, 2003 5:58 pm

I know it's not a warning but "twist to open" on soda bottles or beer always makes me laugh :lol:

A running gag of my uncle, especially at holiday time when a large group of people is around -- he'll read aloud, "Shake well before opening," and then he'll set whatever it is down on the counter and break into a shivering, convulsive, jittery act with his own body. Then he'll stop, pick up the item, and twist off the lid. Of course, he actually shakes the container prior to bringing attention to himself so that the contents will be mixed.

Those first two Verizon advertisements were better than the last few.

The one when the woman steps on the rake, hitting her in the forehead and the one with the girl on the swing set kicking the man as he walks by.

The scary things is, some people may be curious enough to do some of the things these warnings say not to do. :o
