"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.

This sign is not yet in use. East Anglia so probably A11/A14

(have we done that one? Sorry not read whole thread, but suspect it was in there somewhere)

At soft play.

Only food purchased here may be consumed
except for small babies.

I loooooooooove that one, anon. DH and I have actually driven along A14 with window open and camera trying to get decent pic of it.

It's OK, umf, that's my public folder -the link was meant to go to the particular photo of a notice in a shop window rather than the view of them all, but I don't mind if people see the others - they are all pictures I've posted on MN at one time or another.

I think the "May contain nuts" thing on packets of nuts is because they're bagged up in factories where bits of other types of nut could get in. However, I think it would look less idiotic and actually be clearer in meaning if they put "May contain other varieties of nuts" instead.

Generally however the OP is defNBU. All these "hot when heated" type notices drive me batshit. People should not need to be notified about the obvious.

Dh got a new camera.
The instructions contain the warning Do Not Use If On Fire

My mum got so irritated by a sign near her saying
Childrens play area that she sent me out with a marker to put in the missing apostrophe

Not so much pedantic as lost in translation:

Daily Mail in amusing article shock

The "may contain nuts" on a bag of peanuts is because peanuts aren't nuts, so nut allergy sufferers are normally ok with them, unless the factory uses nuts etc.

nuts nuts nuts, a few extra nuts there as I don't think I used enough in the previous sentence.

We had a removal lorry parked in our road for ages right outside my house bearing the legend in large letters 'If your happy, we're happy!'

I so wanted to correct it with a pot of red paint - to make myself as happy as they clearly wanted me to feel

I even asked dc to tell me why it was wrong What a fun mummy I am.

I'll join your FunMummy gang, BendyB.

I'm always seeing if the DCs have spotted the errors.

Gawd I'm a bundle of laughs.

Rusty - thanks for that one, it's an all-time great!

On a Buggy - Remove baby before folding, wtf

Outside a clothing shop 'women's bottoms £5'

Bargain

lolo

loving the chemical pedantry too

Speed kills

No it doesn't, crap driving does.

I get annoyed when I see signs saying "Use both lanes". No, you mean use either lane. You only need to use both lanes if you are in a very wide vehicle.

Recorded message on my commuter train:

"Take care when leaving the train"

That will make all the difference.

first time a thread has actually made me snort coffee down my nose.

Was it hot coffee?

'Warning, MNing while ingesting hot drinks can caused scalded nasal passages.'

On my birth pool:
'no diving' and 'not suitable for under 3's'

Or what about those moving floor thingies they have in some supermarkets that take you and your trolley to the next floor.

Gawd help us constant wittering at you to face the front, take care, take CARE!!, approaching 'landing level' get on, get off, don't forget to breathe...blimey anyone would think you were entering an area where there'd been some sort of nuclear spillage the amount of care you have to take. And it only goes a few feet at 0.00004mph.

If it was liquid petroleum it will burn. Or is it more correct to say that the vapour will burn.... ?

I do love 'this door is alarmed'

I also LOL at bit at 'danger of death' signs on electricity substastation. yes I know it's correct but it sounds odd.

My new hair dryer came with the warning "Do not use this appliance in the shower."

Words fail me. Someone must have sued when they were electrocuted...

scaryj - PMSL at "not suitable for under 3's".
