Stupid labels

I thought it was the bed linen label that said it would become hot. I was thinking "how did they know Nichola would be the one buying it?"

BTW: on our wedding night, lclary and I took several lead crystal candleholder-thingies that we'd been given by the various gift-givers who'd just rushed out to Mikasa for a last minute "oh crap we need a wedding gift" wedding gift to our honeymoon.

I'm glad your candle had that warning, SP. No one warned us that if you let a candle burn to the bottom of a lead crystal candleholder-thingy...

IT FREAKIN' EXPLODES.

those labels that say you will be prosecuted if you remove them. I always look around before I tear them off my pillows, just to make sure Big Brother isn't watching!

WOULD you stop feeding the delusions of the paranoid psycho! MAN>...now I will have to check that link every ten seconds to make sure it doesn't one day become a real live link. Or maybe you're putting it up and taking it down while I'm clicking. You're a bad bad boy!

The government wanted to put a tat on my forehead that said "Warning: Gimp." I would have none of it. We're in deliberations right now. I insist on "Vertically challenged"

No, those labels say it's illegal for the retailer to remove them. They're there (their? thar!) for the consumers' information, and it's perfectly legal for you to remove them once you've bought the mattress/pillow/whatevs.

And the capital of Nebraska is Lincoln!

This evening I bought a few things for the house. Bedlinen, other things. I also treated myself to a pillar candle and a candle plate.

The label said Warning: product will become hot.

Well fuck me. You set the thing on fire and it becomes hot! Whatever next?

I fear this is an inevitable precursor to the "Ow! I just burned my hand on a candle!" thread.

I like the one on the baby stroller that says: WARNING: Remove child before collapsing stroller.

Hey Chris, when are we gonna get a new picture in the AW Caption Thread?

I bought an umbrella-type stroller for my son - it's got the Jeep logo on it and it off roads really well so we use it all the time. I was folding it up the other day when I saw the warning label:

"Wipe with damp cloth to clean. Do not iron."

Who the %@!^ irons an effin' stroller???? I mean, really. I'd like to meet this person.


so i can slap him/her!

That's because of stupid Americans who sue for every little thing. Knives...sharp? Flames...hot? Rat poison...poisonous? We're stupid AND sue-happy.

So...um...be careful with that thing. Might get hot.

REALLY????? *runs out to Mikasa*

There are some really ridiculous labels out there, for sure.

Things I've learned:

Fresh coffee is hot
Babies will drown if they fall into a bucket of paint
Paint thinner is poisonous
Babies can suffocate if you allow them to play with plastic grocery bags (ruined the whole "plastic grocery bag toy" idea I had)
Lighter fluid is FLAMMABLE (no way)
Band saws can cut off your fingers
Needles are sharp
Spraying carburetor cleaner into your eyes can cause blindness
Children should not play in trash dumpsters
CAUTION: Flame may be hot! (Actually on a candle)
Getting shampoo into your eyes can cause eye irritation
Soap should not be eaten
Razors are sharp
If you plug in a hair dryer, turn it on and drop it into your bathtub - WHILE you are in the tub - you could sustain serious injuries or you could even DIE!




And now you are informed.

You're welcome.

I'm lost already. But I think Nichola's gonna kill somebody.

I thought heat was mandatory for fires.

Are there are cold flames now? Like explosive liquid nitrogen?
