for all the stupid people to follow instructions

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

On a Sears hairdryer: "Do not use while sleeping."
(Dang, and 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...duh, a bit late, huh!)

On Marks &Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating."
(...and you thought????...)

On packaging for a Rowenta 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."
(Now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious...)

On Sainsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts."
(Talk about a news flash!)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."
(Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)

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."
(Oh my...was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

For every dumb law/instruction, there's a dumber situation that made them necessary
