We humans are a fascinating bunch. We’ve split the atom, painted masterpieces, and sent robots to Mars. But give us a door with a “pull” sign, and we’ll push every time.
Maybe that’s why the world is full of oddly specific warnings and disclaimers. Because when common sense takes a day off, someone has to write the label that follows. Here are some of the funniest ones people have spotted.

The bison responded appropriately and the guy went to the hospital, then was arrested for it. I showed the article to my 12yo (who wants to be a park ranger, knows not to go anywhere near wildlife, and also knows I've been sober since before she was born), and she responded with, "Now I know why you said alcohol made you do stupid things, Mom."

We saw a few fluffy cows last summer. One of my idiot friends wanted to get out of the car and get closer. Her husband hit the child locks so she couldn't open the door. Smart man.
Those are nice signs, but they are ineffective. Nobody identifies with the crossed out cartoon figure. Especially tourists. It happens to other people, but not them. Instead, play videos of the animals beating the c**p of the tourists that got too close to them. At the very least, parents will make better effort to keep their kids from being mauled by bears after seeing a video of it happening.
"An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience." -Mitch Hedberg
Just a small caution to the "broken escalator is just stairs" crowd. If you encounter an escalator with a sign closing it don't try to use it as stairs. In some cases the drive mechanism will have failed and putting weight on the steps will cause them to rapidly and uncontrollably run down to the bottom. You can be easily injured if that happens. If someone is working on it at the time you might also injure them in the process. So, while a broken escalator may *look* like stairs, please don't use it as stairs.
A broken elevator is just a closet. A broken escalator is just stairs.

Warning signs and labels exist on a spectrum. At one end, they serve their purpose, warning us about actual dangers. Straightforward stuff. But swing to the other extreme, and you’ll find labels that make you stop and think, “Really? Someone needed to be told that?” Like when a bag of peanuts kindly informs us it contains... peanuts. Groundbreaking.
I knew someone once who said, she read the book and figured it was too tame. She said, I kept hearing from people it was a very graphic book but I kept waiting to see if it was going to shock me and it never did. I wonder what she considers graphic then if that book is based on abuse.

What I can--and did--do was ask the mom to open the book to any page and read a chapter. Mom turned all sorts of colors and told her daughter she wasn't allowed to read it til she ws 90.
I give a million kudos to whomever wrote this sign - brilliant and truthful, a double whammy!
The thing is, human behavior, let’s call it adventurousness to be nice, can be unpredictable. And occasionally expensive. When common sense goes out the window, lawsuits often walk in. That’s why companies slap on these hilarious-sounding warnings: sometimes to prevent disaster, but just as often as damage control after something already went wrong.
Definitely, but I have seen a trail I want to explore more.

You take your chances eating outdoors, which anyone with 3 or more brain cells would realize. For me, it was an unexpected gust of wind on what had been a calm, sunny day. One moment I was enjoying my meal, the next I was watching it fly across the patio whizzing past other customers' faces. I laughed so hard I nearly fell out of my chair. The gulls had a good time with that.
Take one of the most well-known cases: the 1994 lawsuit between Stella Liebeck and McDonald’s. You’ve probably heard about it before—someone sued because their coffee was hot. But the real story is a lot more serious. Liebeck suffered third-degree burns after spilling coffee that was served between 180–190°F. The jury found that McDonald’s hadn’t done enough to warn customers just how dangerously hot that coffee was.
Humans have gone from being stupid to being pathetically stupid. We are our own worst enemy.

This literally happened to me yesterday. I had to use the restroom at a large factory I deliver to. I went into one of the 3 stalls and it had no paper. I went to the end stall and it had paper. . The middle stall neither had a door nor paper and is used for #1 only. As I'm in there another guy comes in and goes into the stall with no paper. I chuckle to myself, finish up and toss the roll under the stall to him mad said "always look before you leap buddy!' He dies laughing and thanks me.
The case became a turning point. Coffee cups all over the country began sporting big “CONTENTS HOT” labels, often right on the lid. In McDonald’s case, they already had a warning, but it wasn’t visible enough, and the court wasn’t impressed.

Ironically, much like many warning labels, the Liebeck case itself is often misunderstood. People still joke about it, not realizing the extent of her injuries—she needed skin grafts on her inner thighs and elsewhere. And while hot coffee should be hot, it shouldn’t be served at near-boiling temperatures that can cause life-altering burns in seconds.
Back when plate glass doors were nowhere as common as they are now, there were some truly horrendous accidents because of people unheedingly attempting to move through them at speed. One happened at school when I was in sixth or seventh grade. There was blood everywhere. 🤢 You'll still see examples of these doors marked with a big red "X" or some other indication of their presence.
I'm sick of people telling me what to do. I'll decide if I want to walk through plate glass, so mind your own business.
My kit of chain sharpening files says, "be sure chain is stopped before sharpening." And a set of instructions on a flat of plant starts that came in the mail said if they got frozen let them thaw slowly in a cool area. "Do not thaw in microwave. This warning would not be here if someone hadn't done it."
In the country I live in, such entrances (in public places) have to have stickers on them, so that visitors won't kick that glass.
I just watched a documentary about an avalanche and learned how some ski areas do preventative maintenance to prevent them. I had no idea how much of a risk they were or how long it can take to find those unfortunate enough to have been in their path.
I think this is referring more to the people intentionally going out-of-bounds instead of staying on the designated areas of the slope.
Load More Replies...Running down a mountain with 2 by 4's strapped to your feet is just a bad idea, whether you're on a course or not.
These signs are everywhere in North American ski resorts, marking the boundaries of a controlled ski area. 99% of the time they are not warning of anything specific, just covering the árse's of the resort owners who can turn round and say 'not our fault'.
At the resort where I patrol it's a definite "risk of death". There's extensive avalanche control in bounds. Somehow at least once a year, someone ducks a rope to go out of bounds. The backside of the mountain has some light fluffy snow. And then cliffs. And then rocks and cliffs. Removal of said people sometimes requires a helicopter with a long line. If you make it down and are still mobile it's a roughly 5 km hike to a road.
Load More Replies...Yeah, this is serious business. The ski bunnies (both male and female) who visit here mostly have no clue just what daredevils they are.

Today, hot beverage warnings are common, but not universal. There’s no global rule that says all coffee cups must have them. So if you’ve heard that every cup now carries a warning because of the Liebeck case, well, it’s kind of a myth.

I have bad eyesight. I had a cat with similar markings of a skunk. It was dusk. I was walking towards my cat. At the last second I realized the situation I was in and hightailed it back into the house.
Was sitting on the back porch talking to someone when one of the roommates came walking up the dirt road towards the house. About that time one of the skunks that lived under the house popped out and was heading down the path towards him. We thought he'd see it. Nope. Closer and closer...and then just when we thought disaster would strike, somehow they passed each other within inches. Looked like somehow the skunk had gone in between his stride. He refused to believe there was a skunk. This happened waaay before mobile phones with cameras were a thing.

And that wasn’t the last time a lack of labeling caused trouble. In 1996, Judy Dunne sued Wal-Mart after an exercise bike collapsed under her weight. The bike had no label indicating its weight limit, which turned out to be 250 pounds. Dunne weighed 500. She won the case, and that’s how we learned: yes, sometimes you really can be too big to exercise (on that specific bike, anyway).

Then there’s the time Apple was sued in 2006 by a man named John Kiel Patterson. He claimed his iPod could damage his hearing. Not because of the volume itself, but because there wasn’t a clear enough warning. While Apple had buried a note in the manual, they later added an actual pop-up alert and a volume-limiting option. And that’s why your phone kindly reminds you that blasting music for too long might not be the best idea.

People, please don’t click on links like this. It might be benign but export=download is a potential red flag for malware. Especially when this is a personal drive, not public domain. I repeat, do not click on the link. ETA: by all means keep downvoting but the original posted link has been updated from a link to a personal drive with exe capabilities. You’re fůcking welcome that someone on here has the technical knowledge to spot a potential malicious link and warn you.
