Stupid Warning Messages

[Alex]

The following is printed on 'Superguard' batteries:

Caution:

Do not connect improperly.

Charge or dispose of in fire.

Battery may leak or explode.

I have formatted it as it appears on the side of the battery.

i'm off to charge or dispose of these batteries in fire because they are flat.

Guess they didn't think their batteries were idiot proof.

You deserve all you get for buying cheapo pikey batteries

 

[Helz]

I wouldn't buy those if they told me to chuck them on the fire and that they were likely to explode

 

[Adamski]

All batteries are likely to explode if you put them on a fire...

 

[jamie86]

Hey but if they're cheap.lol

 

[Helz]

Adamski if you read it again it doesn't say they'll explode if you put them on the fire. It just says they might explode generally. I trust you don't need a lesson in English grammar and the connotation it can bring to a sentence(s) at this point?

Duracell are the only decent cameras. I've tried loads in my camera and they're the best by far!

 

[JonnyBoy]

Duracell are the only decent cameras...

I thought they made batteries?

 

[Steven]

oops, typo...

On another (similar) note, my favourite stupid warning notice is the one on the peanut bars that reads, "This product my contain nuts". No sh*t...

One of my favourite signs albeit, not strictly a warning sign, is outside a pub in Mudeford, it reads "No children or wetsuits allowed in bar".

I also saw a good sign when I was on holiday. "No selling coconuts after 6pm".
