I will give you one. Had a job once that was in charge of packaging instruction. Getting the translated, etc. Get a email about iron on transfer paper. The package said" Iron on transfer paper snd underneath " for dark fabric" Some woman complained because she could barely see the transfer on her light blue shirt. So now the instructions read: for dark fabric, do not use on light fabrics.

My daughter bought some iron-on transfers a couple of years ago to make fancy dress costumes for my grandsons. The packs included a warning not to apply them to clothing while it was being worn.

I was working from a scissor lift. We had the whole area coned off around us. People were still stepping over the barriers and walking underneath us... The voice in my head was going "drop the pliers...."

There probably are origin stories of the first thousand labels. Then the lawyers caught on, so now it's probably just that they brainstorm how many ways an idiot might misuse a thing and just put a warning on for all those things as a preventative measure.

In my hometown, there is now a sign along the lines of, 'No driving on [X] Avenue if you are a fire truck over seven tons' and that has a STORY behind it man

Would you really? In the 60s the owners manual for most vehicles showed you how to adjust the carburetor. Today they have to put a sticker on the battery telling you not to drink the liquid inside or light it on fire. The world and people in it have almost dropped right off the readable IQ scale.

I think it’s more of a litigious time, rather than an IQ thing. At least in the US.

Remove all warnings... if you're stupid enough to do something that kills you as a result, then the average IQ of the planet just went up a fraction.

This would be very helpful. You can't give us half a story. People who write warning labels should be mindful that some of us just have to f around and find out. If anything it's just giving me ideas.

It's been close to 30 years now so I don't remember the title, but such a book did exist at one point, specifically regarding OSHA signage. The only story I still remember was about a masonry plant that had to label their waste vats with a sign that said "Do not eat the brick dust", and I remember thinking at the time, if you're dumb enough to eat brick dust, you deserve whatever happens to you.

Woman microwaved her dog to dry it out. Nowhere on the microwave literature did it say "do not microwave animals." she sued. And won. Hence that warning with new microwaves.

I always say whenever someone figures out a new way to screw up at work, the following day we will get training, and have to sign something saying that we won't do that

I do translations of house rules for campsites. I stopped asking, but every rule has a reason.

A little qr code on the packaging beside the warning to look it up would be lovely lol

A testament to just how far a single good idea can go, Twitter (now X) was, reportedly, conceived in about a day-long brainstorming session. Jack Dorsey, its founder, had the idea for an SMS service in march of 2006, that could send messages to a group of people. By July of the same year, they had a full working version.

After all, Twitter flourished because it really was that symbol, just a 140 character message that anyone could see. It really took off the following year, during the 2007 South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) conference. "The Twitter people cleverly placed two 60-inch plasma screens in the conference hallways, exclusively streaming Twitter messages," Steven Levy of Newsweek wrote.

And it gets worse with age. I took up horseback riding at 49, the first month I definitely thought I had leukemia, bubonic plague, leprosy, and a rare butt cancer. Five years later I only suffer from two things at a time, and the horses could probably use more exercise.

It is a mystery to me until today how he got a liver anyway when he was diagnosed with cancer allready. I mean, should he not have been at the very bottom of the list? Pancreatic cancer is as far as i know not the sort of cancer with the best prognosis, so is that not some sort of wasting an organ? Did he have a living person donate for him? Serious question, i can not really understand how that happened.

Better answer - We are calling him "child 1" until he is old enough to name himself. People will flip their s**t.

When there isn't a hook on the public toilet cubicle and before squatting you have to macrame your bag straps together before putting the longest strap around your neck.

I always say hello to cities when I arrive, especially if it's been a while. Like greeting an old friend.
