Most of us don't really take the time to pay careful attention to the product instructions we receive when purchasing an item - however, you should. If not for the instructions themselves, at least for the hidden easter eggs.

Bored Panda has created a list of the funniest instructions and tags you'll be glad you bothered to read. Some of them are so obvious and stupid they'll make you question where humanity is going. Others are so unexpectedly smart and witty, they will surprise you with their originality. One thing is for sure, most of them will put a smile on your face.

Frankly, fries would have been a good idea. Or lasagna. Or anything you do not eat with your bare fingers while assembling furtniture...

Actually, I think this is no joke but serious. Many ikea articles with moving parts come with plastic security clip-like thingys that are to be disposed.

Actually, it's brilliant, they use the same parts packages for multiple items, so some of those items don't need all the same parts.

I knew someone who worked in a plant that made DIY stuff. Her job was to package up the nuts & bolts type of stuff into little plastic bags. She hated her job, and told me if she was having a bad day, she would throw a couple extra pieces into a bag every once in a while. I don't know why, but I guess it made her feel better. Never shorted any of them, though.

Sometimes things are packaged in pairs but you only need one. The company finds it less expensive to include the extra part rather than have someone open the bags and repackage them.

Assembly espionage by the Swedes. They want all of us to fall off our chairs or drop a drawer on our foot.

I am afraid that there have been people who put the "filled" thing right as it was into the washing machine with piles of other clothes.
