Hysteria1983

Inspired by the supermarket thread I remembered something I noticed a few days ago.

Take a close look at the 'average contents'.

Does that mean sometimes there are 3 and sometimes only 1 to make an "average" of 2?

Hysteria1983

I have no idea! Pmsl!

I thought it was just plain crazy to put that on a box of trainers.

I'd be gutted if I only got one. They could say that having 2 shoes is only an "average" and therefore not faulty!

The last one is great, the funny thing is one of my work mates burnt himself trying to iron out a small crease on his shirt once......yes, whilst wearing it. We now call him tefal terry.

I saw on a USA radio aerial box a caution notice about going near HT lines which said, "Beware, electrocution can kill you"

Its not the product that is stupid, its the complete spackers who don't take any notice of them, you would be surprised at just what people will winge about, although the trainers box is the exception, that is a bit mad

Trouble is, companies get sued by said spackers so to avoid future litigation they have to print things like that or sanitise anything down to the point where you cannot possibly injure yourself, usually it isnt negligence but some muppet hurts themselve through their own stupidity and then manage to see it as an opportunity to profit from the experience.

Trouble is, then the same people moan when they cant do the same things.

I had a bloke knock on the door trying to get me as a witness in his case agsinst the council as he tripped over a slight ride in the pavement, possibly a root, he broke his wrist and was trying to get me as an ally, I would have probably had to go to court and I realised that he was on the make, bad luck for tripping up and hurting yourself but it isnt the councils fault, we have trees, occasionally they cause a slight deviation from perfect uniformity in the pavement, the clue to exercise caution is the 100 foot tall, five foot wide massive wooden thing pointing from the ground to the sky, he got a bit arsey when I said I wouldnt be cooperating, I dint fancy the council then having to chop it down because matey boy had scored a few grand for a new telly and a holiday.

make everything idiot proof to cover their own ar$e, unfortunate state of affairs these days.........

my favourite is a cake or something with a warning on the bottom of the box not to turn it upside-down
