Not so much an instruction but a silly road sign:

On a packet of vacuum sealed fish: allergy advice; 'contains fish'
Dairy milk bar: 'contains milk.' really??? swear it says on the front 'contains a glass and a half of milk'.
carton of milk: 'not suitable for lactose intolerant people'. Lactose intolerant mate loved that one.

That's not that odd. What if they work in a sweatshop and get a headache for whatever reason?Random Jah-Love said:
No, no, that was definitely put in there for a reason, and no one else seems to actually read it. I have done the three day camp at cons, and it is not pretty. I rented a motel close by though so I could shower, sleep, and change. Other people, not so much.xmetatr0nx said:
I've bought something in China that had some pretty hilarious Engrish instructions on the backside of a juice box. It went something like this as I recall:
"Do not use for any purpose other than drink. This is useless against fire and other thing except for drink. Only drink."
Which was kinda stupid because in comparison the Chinese side translated to something like:
"Use for drinking purposes only."

From a very nice set of books that I have (though reciting from memory):
Do not stick into any bodily orifice; ~hair curler.
Warning: hot contents; ~hot chocolate.
Warning: contents are cold; ~ice cream.
Object moves when used; ~folding scooter.
Do not use orally after used rectally; ~thermometre.
There are a few more that are just bloody brill, but I can't remember them. >:

What?? are they going to mutate or something!?? like the Kremlins (or were they gremlins?)Agayek said:
well, i´m not a military man so if anyone knows please do tell, in a Rocket launcher does it says "point this end at the enemy"? i saw a sign in one
Depending on the Rocket Launcher, that may actually be necessary though. I know the older ones were basically a tube with a handle, so unless there was something actually on the tube to point out which ends is which, you'd lose valuable time turning it around when you reach into the trigger area, if you weren't dumb enough to fire it before you realized it.HentMas said:
You realize these things are in place because people are that dumb, and therefore the companies are protecting themselves from legal actions.
Buuuut my faves are the ones that are misspelled or don't make any sense.
