Are people really THAT dumb ??

[lew]

We've all seen the strange warning labels on things we buy and shake our heads wondering who would be foolish enough to do what they're telling us not to.

 

Don't injest the paint, don't use the hair dryer in the shower, even my wheel barrow tire has a warning not to use at hiway speed.

 

Today for Christmas my wife bought me a clock in the shape of a saw blade for the shop and I honestly can't believe the warning on the back of the box.

 

Is anyone really dumb enough to try and use these blades on their circ or table saw ??

Hahaha. Sadly... yes. Someone thought they would just use it in a pinch and probably lost a body part.

You can sue for everything now,looks like they are just protecting themselves even if it does sound silly. Common sense is hard for some .

[Fisherpete]

Yeah sadly if the manufacturer didn't put that on there, someone would see $$$$$ and try using it just to launch a lawsuit... pretty sad. Even a cup of coffee these days has a "warning : hot liquid" on it... good thing, because I may have been SOOOO tempted to pour it on my lap...

 

LOL

Yes sir , sadly, some people are that dumb,

Yep, we are all treated as if we have no brain cells. We all heard the one about the lady suing McDonalds for big money because she spilled hot coffee on herself. I recently watched a documentary about it. She needed skin grafts on her legs, it was bad.

I wouldn't use the saw blade because I don't have a saw. But that blue hammer looks like it would be good.

You could use the little blue hand saw.

That neat gift came from someone that isn't retired I bet.

Pet rock anyone? We may have the most intelligence amongst Gods creatures but we are the stupidest.

[NANUK]

And they say "Human being is the most intelligent form of life"

Now that's a scary thought.

Sometimes common sense isn't so common!

I don't remember the brand offhand but there's a type of fish hook that I buy for making worm harnesses and right on the package it warns not to eat the hooks. Unbelievable.

I think a LOT of the fish I'm after have read that warning.............

McDonald's screwed themselves on that one. The family was looking for coverage for medical bills. McD's kept their coffee at near boiling temps so it had a longer "shelf-life". The judge found for the family to cover the medical bill but punished McD's arrogance by also awarding the family some small percent of 1 day's worth of coffee sales which amounted to the millions of dollars.

Another good one:

 

 

 

And how is a page blank if you put something on it?

I especially like the ones that have side effects that the drug itself is supposed to help with???

Worked on a neighbour's farm all through high school during the 60's, ages 14 to 19. Scares me to think of todays teens working around all that machinery that didn't have protective guards on rotating shafts or any pinch points. Products of the increasing nanny state and helicopter parenting I guess and it's only getting worse.
