Stupid Warnings/Labels.

In reference to a certain urban legend, it was my understanding that there is a label on some microwave ovens warning you not to try to dry your pet in it after a bath.

Really?!

It's like those nitwit 'These are professionals. Do not try at home!'

OOh, I just happened to think. . .the fine print in t.v. ads that warn that Viagra will not prevent venereal disease.

I'm speechless!!

(Perhaps the mod could combine this post with the one I made a second ago on this same thread?)

My favorite warning labels are the all inclusive list of side effects that invariably contain all of the symptoms of the ailment that you are trying to cure.

Love ya,

My peanut butter has a warning label on it letting me know it may contain peanuts however, my mustard and pickles have one let me know they DO NOT have peanuts in them. and for some reason my bottled water has ingredients printed on the bottle and my jar of Fennel seed, Ingredients: Fennel seed....

Whats sad is that the idiots out there actually did these things and had another dumb idea to sue the company for not warning them.....:-/

The sad part is that our judicial systems allowed for the cases to proceed.

This may be the most cringe-worthy that I've seen. Found on a 6-piece precision screwdriver set

"Not to be inserted into penis" :wacko:

My God! Hysteria on the Half Shell.

The screw driver people were looking out for those who'd been told to go screw themselves, I"ll bet!

There is a legitimate reason for that warning. My dad was a police officer in the 80's. He once got called by a woman who wanted them to arrest her children for doing exactly that to her cat. They didn't open the microwave, just took it straight to the dump.

I question the legitimacy when you consider that damn few people read the warnings at all and I would imagine that among the ones that do there are precious few if any children.

At the very best, these are what are called C.Y.A.s, i.e. 'cover your. . .' (I forget the rest.) It's an insurance move.

The de-licing powder for chickens has a warning ''Do not force feed chickens [brand name]''.

But with everything, it's there for a reason. Someone, somewhere, fed their chickens powder to kill Lice.

It also has a do not ingest in the warnings as well as a do not ingest in the directions for use.

Seems that same person was persistent!

That one's valid. Peanuts grow in the ground and a lot of people are allergic to them. There are lots of different tree nuts, then there's the nut who lives next door...

And according to the warning on t.v., there's the nuts who somehow came up with the idea that Viagra will prevent venereal disease.

Really? :doh1:

      Good morning.    I did not try to see the sky last night.  We watched tv and went to bed.  Cooler but dry this weekend it was 58 when I got up this morning.  Sorry Kymmie, no chance of white rain here. Although there is always a chance of hail.  Fortunately, the storms stayed west of us and dropped their golf all size hail elsewhere.  I do feel bad for the people that got the hail as that was in a poorer part of the state.   Even the county we live in is quite large and has socioeconomic issues that range from wealth to below poverty.  Very few good middle class jobs and a number of them are closing their doors every year.  Most workers are some way connected to hospitality and travel.  We are beginning to see some internet based jobs as the latest under sea internet cables to South America and other places are coming ashore here.  But they are not connected yet.  We have a rail line but it stops at the innercoastal waterway. The bridge was damage in a hurricane and there just wasn’t enough traffic to justify Corman spending the money to fix it.  So it is permanently in the raised position.     @awkward-yet-sweet I’m glad you got to spend some downtime away from the every day at home.  I can’t imagine how a household that large operates.  And I do think you deserve an upgraded commercial kitchen.  But,  you wouldn’t all be able to live together if you spent money buying new to you things instead of fixing the old with so much talent at home.   Well, I hope to spend time creating the outline of my paper today.  I’m sure I will have to refine it a couple of times before it is completed.   enjoy your weekend    willow

      We all have a hurt inner child, do you ever comfort that child and say it will be protected?

      Same here.  My mind is a jumbled mess.  I'm no great philosopher, nor particularly educated.  Don't open my brain's closet, as all the junk might come tumbling out.

      Its been a long day.  I had a good trip with my husband, kind of sorry I had to come home.  I mean, I love my partners, but I feel overwhelmed by the chaos at times.  It was nice being able to just drive and talk for two days, and not feel rushed at meals.  Stopped at a buffet off I-40 in Oklahoma, and I was able to nibble comfortably for two hours!  And taking a shower in a place where I don't have to bother hanging up the towels for later   Its all about the little things....

      Hi @AmandaJoy Welcome, and nice to meet you! Congratulations on your Self-Affirmation!  As you've already discovered you're in great company here on this Forum.  It took me 60+ years also.   I understand your thrill and desire to proceed full-steam-ahead but that you've already realized to meter your Journey.  So, I will just end with what I tell most new Members when they arrive ... Deep breaths ... One step at a time
