"Hot liquid will burn."

[ChristmasTrulyReigns]

Will it?

Will it?

Will it?

WILL IT?



Who knew a visit to the loo on Sebenhams could raise my temperature so much?

Gah.

[jybay]

This door is alarmed.

What about?

[ElephantsAndMiasmas]

This product contains wheat gluten (bread).

Well - good.

[ChristmasTrulyReigns]

Just noticed my typo in OP.

That's how irked I am.

[GrimmaTheNome]

well it might if its flammable but as I assume this was in relation to a water tap, I can confidently state that hot water will not burn.

It might scald you.

[ChristmasTrulyReigns]

Exfuckingactly Grimma.

[Anniegetyourgun]

It's like a packet of peanuts saying "contains nuts", innit? A friendly warning, but factually incorrect.

[PussinJimmyChoos]

On a jar of peanut butter

Warning - containts nuts

Er...really??!

[ChristmasTrulyReigns]

I think I'm going to go and buy a Sharpie and correct it.

This sort of stuff really pizzes me off.

It's not rocket science.

(And, yes, it's a really unnecessary sign, even if it was correct).

[GrimmaTheNome]

I don't mind signs warning about very hot water, TBH, kids scald more easily than grownups. Though if they can go to the bother of putting up a sign why don't they lower the thermostats? - hate a choice of cold or unusably hot. I mean no-one puts a plug in a public basin and mixes do they?

[jybay]

Grimma, I've got a feeling that - ahem - public conveniences have to have separate hot & cold taps by law. Don't ask me why - as you say, a mixer would be much better.

[GrimmaTheNome]

No, I know they can't have mixers, but scalding hot water is of no use to anyone so if they know its too hot they should reduce its temp.

Also Not Rocket Science

[nickelbangBANGbang]

yes, it will scald.

but it will feel like burning on your hand, which i think is what they're getting at.

idiots.

why can't they just say "hot water is dangerous, please mix with cold before using"

[nickelbangBANGbang]

yes, Grimma, it only needs to be 65degrees in the heater to kill germs.

it'll cool down quite a lot on the way out, so it should be fine.

[thisisyesterday]

why can't it just say "caution: very hot water"

or something like that. OR "hot water can cause burns"... which it can. can't it?

[ProfessorLaytonIsMyLoveSlave]

Hmm, would molten metal (other than mercury) burn rather than scald? Internet sources seem to differ on that one. But if you have molten lead coming out of the taps in Debenhams then probably grammar is

[umf]

Those "This door is alarmed ones" - my slightly nutty mother writes "whisper something reassuring as you go past" underneath, if there's space and she has the chance.

[jybay]

umf - loving that, may nick the idea.

[umf]

It's great, isn't it? But you need a Sharpie and to drill the spelling of "reassuring". I don't think I'd have the nerve. Still, turning into my mother in so many ways that my day will probably come.

[nickelbangBANGbang]

all liquids scald.

so yes, molten metals count as liquid, so they will scald.

when they're very hot solid,they will burn.

[DemonChild]

Tiredness kills - motorway signs.

No it doesn't. Crashing kills.

All time favourite from Monkey World in Dorset - Adders please keep to the path.

Who knew snakes can read?

Do you dare me?
