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

Gah.

On the rearview mirror of a hire car in the States
"Warning - the objects in the mirror are behind you"

magicwand DP can eat peanuts but not other nuts

Jux that's hilarious!

In amongst the chenglish on a bottle of hair product (couldn't tell what it was) I saw in China, there was a random "fuck". Wish I'd taken a photo...

These are funny

Wonder if the one about keeping your eyes open is aimed at sleep deprived parents?

David Attenborough?

I propose a notice to be placed on all forums warning that laughing too much may produce unexpected warm feelings.Blush Grin

Really, it isn't a no smoking area, it is a no smoking volume.
The door isn't alarmed, it is merely mildly surprised, and 'Welcome to Anytown' yes, you are welcome to it.

"Ground Almonds

Contains nuts"

Well I should jolly well think so

TiggyD · 04/12/2010 21:16

I bought some puma trainers once. The warnings and information on the box was so funny I wish I'd kept it. It wasn't an accident either. Somebody with a good sense of humour had designed the packaging. I like the bit that said "Average contents - 2 " best.

MummyElk · 04/12/2010 22:07

haven't read them all but the hairdryer i bought in the States had in the instructions:

"Do NOT use whilst asleep"

nannyl · 04/12/2010 22:42

Tesco ORGANIC fresh milk "contains milk"

really? would never have guessed!

On a sign in a hotel in in South East Asia.

'Please do not steal the furniture'

It went on to list the price of each item in the room from the bed to the wardrobe and dressing table.

I was backpacking as were all their guests. Hmm

I was soooo tempted to nick a wardrobe. It would have been the equivalent of carrying a grandfather clock instead of wearing a watch.

My dh bought an Iphone from Ebay and the instructions were in Chinese with a little English translation;

"Please do not insert the sim card in the children".

Well.

MackerelOfFact · 04/12/2010 22:52

Wrapping paper on the Waitrose website helpfully declares "Suitable for: those avoiding nuts". One can only wonder about those avoiding dairy, wheat etc.

LynetteScavo · 04/12/2010 22:58

A sign at the school nursery states

"Adults only do doors and gates."

Well, the lazy bastards should start interacting with the children, then!

Shurbet · 04/12/2010 23:21

There was a a derelict shop around here that had a sign posted on the door with just the words "Polite Notice" on it. To which someone had added underneath "F*ck Off".

Whatever happened to the word "Please"?

A roadsign I used to pass often in south wales used to say "SLOW MOVING VERGES". Ten years later I am still trying to work out whether these verges were particularly slow-moving and so I needed to be warned about their slothlike qualities, or if I had to drive slowly as the verges might jump out in front of me. I really ought to get out more...

In JL - "Please do not sit on the bed, ask staff for assistance"
I am always tempted to ask for help sitting on the bed

On my daughters medication- she is 5 and its a specific med for peadiatrics- "warning this medication may make you drowsy. If affested do not drive or operate heavy machinery. Do not drink alcohol with this medication" Hmm

On my sons cot mattress "do not leave child unattended" So am I supposed to spend the next 2 years watching him sleep??!!

JebusBuiltMyCoolSled · 05/12/2010 13:45

Hope everyone has their plan ready

MrsShrekTheThird · 05/12/2010 21:53

PMSL at this thread - but had to add the one we laughed hysterically at last week

on the pot of cream (extra thick double cream, no less!) it states "may contain milk"
Hmm

LutyensBravesTheSnow · 05/12/2010 21:57

My mum bought dd a bag of marbles from our local Science Museum. The label on it said "Not for human consumption" Confused

Two points come to mind. Firstly, NO SHIT SHERLOCK! Secondly, not for human consumption presumably implies that I may happily feed them to my pet hampster Hmm
