In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping.  (dang and I thought I could save time that way)

On a bag of Fritos: ..You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.  (five finger discount?)

On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and how is that?)

On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (just a suggestion?)

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down." (oops too late)

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding:" Product will be hot after heating."  (what does heat mean again?)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (dang it another chance to save time ruined)

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 why?)

On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only." (what else is there?)

On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use."  (mmm okay lost me on this one)

On Sunsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts."  (really?)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (never would've thought)  

On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."  (taa-daa)

On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."  (and how many times did this happen before they put the warning on it?)
