Most pointless warning label

[HectorTheLamerGamer]

"On any toy sword or gun etc.: Warning, not a real weapon."

Don't they know that anything is a weapon in the right hands?

On a Claymore - Aim at Enemy

How do you aim a sword?

Eh, He meant Claymore as in explosive satchel mine that fires shrapnel really fast if you walk into a laser sight/cause movement

You can aim mines now? I thought they just sat there and waited for some unsuspecting person to become an instant paraplegic.

If COD 4 isn't lying then claymores actually have a forward area to which the laser or movement sensors point, and where the shrapnel is thrown.

Only the claymore has the shrapnel direction. it uses a shaped charge to launch the metal in one specific arc. and, yes, it has writing on the front that says "this side towards enemy".

Yeah, actually that unidirectional, 70 degree blast range is actually why they use it, otherwise they could any old mine. C4 is placed on the inside against a harder shell, and small ball bearings are placed on the other side. Detonates and the ball bearing fly with a kill radius of around 30 feet I think.

Warning:Water in Pool


this made me sad.

On a gun: "Aim away from face"

 

[HectorTheLamerGamer]

"on a buttleproof vest, "this product is not designed to protect against the impact of sharp objects", well...i feel safer already."

This one is referring to knives, screwdrivers, and other sharp objects that are able to pass in between the fibers of the jacket. Bullets are far blunter than any of these objects. Basically it's saying don't expect this to work on anything other than bullets.

on the end of the barrel of a kel-tech handgun (so a real gun that kills people)

On a bag of peanuts: WARNING MAY CONTAIN NUTS.

No shit, Sherlock.

 

[hannahdonno]

Yeah, this is in regard to stupid, pointless, often hilarious warning labels such as "Warning, contains hot liquid" on a coffee cup.

Feel free to steer this towards whatever you want, be it funny stories or infuriating lawsuit arguments.

Have fun.

Printed on the bottom of a cake box.
Warning! Do NOT turn box upside down!

Well, it's a bit late now.

I have a far too frequent meeting with this label. I continue to fret about the state of my cake until I take it out of the box and realise there is absolutely nothing wrong with my cake.

On a child's first birthday card:Not intented for use by children under 16 moths of age.

On a dryer:WARNING: Do not use to dry off children under 6 moths old.

HAHA tht amuses me more than fat people falling over

Warning may infuriate you with a pointless warning

 

[Davey Woo]

I just love the Captain obvious labels:

COFFEE IS HOT (coffee cup)

Apparently a woman sued Mcdonald's because her coffee was hot..

 

[XJ-0461]

On a packet of peanuts "warning-may contain peanuts"

edit: damn, ninja'd.

 

[oktalist]

On box of matches [http://www.flickr.com/photos/weequizzie/2955146602/]: Warning: fire kills children!

On box of toothpicks [http://www.neowin.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t397804.html]: Hold stick near centre of its length. Moisten pointed end in mouth. Insert in tooth space, blunt edge next to gum. Use gentle in-out motion.

I was on a domestic flight once with a window seat over the wings. They had all these warnings all over the wings but the one that caught my eye was 'WARNING: Do NOT Detach'.

 

[Darkmark44]

This one made me laugh. the martial arts that I take requires buying a Jukdo (bamboo sword)
the warning says "do not insert Jukdo into mouth"


That and do not use hairdryer in shower. good thing to know, good thing to know.

[timmytom1]

On a knife.

WARNING: Do Not stick in children

yes you read correctly. IN!

Also on a handgun:

caution: Bullets come out this end (arrow pointing towards barrel)

I`d like to know how the idiot who managed to shoot himself (hence the label on the gun i guess) was able to get the money AND the legal support to have that label put on a gun

I once saw the cover of the DVD, "may contain inappropriate sexual content. not suitable for children" and the title of that product went along the lines of Kitty shits on Mandy. If it wasn't for that warning label, I would've showed it to my niece.
