commen sense should come in pill form I think it would help solve the problem. (but make sure to include thorough directions)

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed to stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on stuff:

on a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping.
(shoot,  that's the only time I have to work on my hair.)
 

on a bag of Fritos -- You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.
(the shoplifter special?)
 
on a bar of Dial soap -- "Directions: Use like regular soap,"
(and that would be how???....)
 
on some Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost."
(but it's "just" a suggestion).

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn upside down."
(well...its a bit late for that)

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding -- "Product will be hot after heating."
(oh, I thought heating it would make the genie come out and grant me my wishes....)

On packaging for a Rowena iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body."
(but wouldn't this save me more time?)
 
on Boot's Children Cough Medicine -- "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication."
(we could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)
 
on Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(and...I'm taking this because???....)
 
on most brands of Christmas lights -- "For indoor or outdoor use only."
(as opposed to...what)?
 
on a Japanese food processor -- "Not to be used for the other use."
(I'm a bit curious)
 
on Sainsbury's peanuts -- "Warning: contains nuts."
(you're kidding me- I had no idea)
 
on an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."
(crap! I just wanted to eat them without opening it!)
 
on a child's Superman costume -- "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."
(I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)

On a Swedish chainsaw -- "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."
(I don't even want to know what happened to the guy who tried this...)

I think that if we stopped putting obvious instructions and warnings on things, eventually the stupidity problem would take care of itself...

more stupid things people do:


1. people point at their wrist asking for the time... I know where my watch is pal, where the heck is yours? do I point at the stove to ask whats for dinner?

2. people are willing to get off their butt to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.

3. people say "Oh, you just want to have your cake and eat it too". well no duh! what good is cake if you can't eat it? are you just gonna sit and stare at it?

4.  people say "it's always the last place you look". of course it is. why the heck would you keep looking after you've found it? do people do this? what is wrong with them?!

5. people say while watching a movie, "did ya see that?" no loser, I paid $10 to come to the theater, buy popcorn and a drink, and then proceed to stare at the floor for the next 2 hours!

6. people always ask "can I ask you a question?"... didn't really give me a choice there, did you, jerkface?

7.  people say "life is short". what the heck??? Life is the longest thing anyone can  ever do!!! what can you possibly do thats longer?



8. people always say "like" and "ya know?" and stuff of that nature ALL the time. it is supremely annoying.
