In case you need further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, Here are some actual instructions on consumer goods.
1. On SEAR's hairdryer: "Don't use while sleeping" (Gee,that's the only time I have to work on my hair)
2. On a bag of Fritos: "You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside." (Evidently, the shoplifter's special)
3. On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap" (And that would be how!?!?!?!?)
4. On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion:defrost" (Its *just* a suggestion)
5. On Tesco's Tiramisu's desserts (printed on bottom of box): "Do not turn over" (opps to late)
6. On Marks & Spencer's bread pudding: "Product will be hot after heating"
7. On packaging of a Rowenta Iron: "Do not iron clothes on body" (But wouldn't this save even more time?)
8. On Boot's Children's Cough Medicine: "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after take this medication" (I think we would cut down on all the construction accidents if we just get those 5 year olds with coughs off the forklifts)
9. On Nytol Sleepin Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness" (I would Hope so)
10. On most brands of Cristmas lights: "For indoor and outdoor use only" (As Oppose to what?)
11. On a Japanese food processer: "Not to be used for other use" (I gotta admit, I'm curious..)
12. On Sainsbury peanuts: "Warning: Contains nuts" (NEWS FLASH!)
13. On American Airlines package of peanuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts" (STEP 3: fly Delta)
14. On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of garment does not enable you to fly" (I don't blame the company, I blame the parents for that one)
15. On a Swedish chain saw: "Do not attemptto stop chain with you hands or genitals" (Was there a chance of this happening somwhere?)

This was always one of my favorites. A few years back I had a spell of vertigo, so the doctor gave me these pills for the dizzeness.
The front states: "Take one tablet as needed for Dizzness". The warning on the back states: "May cause Dizziness".
So when I took them and told the doctor they wern't working 'cause I was still dizzy...he said "Oh no, they're working, that's just a side effect" WTF!
