Absurd Warning Messages

---

 

Nowdays, whenever you buy stuff, you must see all warning labels over everything. Warnings about hot stuff, cold stuff, corrosive stuff, and the list goes on. While many of these warnings are valid and useful, I've compiled a list of warnings that are completely idiotic.

 

"Do not fold up stroller with baby inside" -- found on a baby stroller. If someone actually does that, doesn't it just show that the parents aren't mature enough have a baby?

 

"Keep firearms away - It may cause fire" -- found in the instruction manual of my air-conditioner. Who in their right mind would set off firearms in their own house??

 

"Stop operation and close the window in storm or hurricane." -- you'd think that there'd be some valid reason for doing this, but this is the blurb underneath: "Operation with windows opened may cause wetting of indoor and soaking of household furniture" Duh... Okay, hands up. Who would open their window in a hurricane?

 

"Close the window during operation -- Cold air will be vented outside wasting energy" -- on another air conditioner I saw.

 

"Do not drink water drained from this toilet" -- comment withheld because I would start being really really rude.

 

"Do not tilt. May cause serious injury if product falls" -- on a refrigerator box. Valid warning, although I seriously think that most people would have the intelligence to realize that a fridge is quite heavy.

 

"DO NOT pull goggles away from your face - they may spring back and hurt your eyes" -- hmm... I guess if you released them slowly...

 

"DO NOT PLACE PRODUCT UPSIDE DOWN"

This was found underneath a box... riiiight.

 

"Do not open until..."

Found on the inside of a box.
