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.

If the *b a s t a r d s* didn't euthanize the animal after it did us a favor by removing a mindless, hairless ape out of the human gene pool (like morons who take selfies with wild buffalo), I would totally agree with you.

There was a story last year about a guy who got drunk and punched (or maybe kicked? I don't recall exactly) a bison. 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."

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    There was a guy who I believe was new to Colorado and was using a trail for his runs. Saw something watching him one day. Next run it was closer, and he thought it was a mountain lion. Next run still closer. Anyone surprised that it attacked and mauled him one day? Yeah.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Actually, it's quite hard to light gas on fire with a cigarette. You either need a legit flame, or for the gas vapor to be perfectly mixed with air in order to ignite the gas. Go take some gas and cigarette, and try to light it on fire with it, it's not going happen. I know this from first hand experience. All those movies where people flick the cigarette and cause an explosion are totally unrealistic.

    This one is easy. Probably some venue that does equestrian events. Someone's clean, groomed and brushed horse found a dirtiest spot to roll in, as they tend to do. And there was little time to get it clean, so shower it is.

    Most likely livery or a shared stable with a full bathroom for convenience. It is tempting, and I would do so, if there is no sheltered area with warm water to bath the horses. Usually I do it outside, with cold water. But one of the adopted horses came in winter and was absolutely filthy, giving it a proper bath was impossible, because we also don't have closed stables.

    It's more a case that it's easier to write a law that says if your product contains any one of these allergens you must warn for it than to draft one that has exceptions for 'obvious' products without leading to loopholes that cause confusion.

    So what’s the lesson here, besides a few laughs at the expense of poorly labeled products? Just because something seems obvious to you, doesn’t mean it’s obvious to everyone. And that idea goes far beyond warning labels, it’s something worth remembering any time confusion or miscommunication creeps in.

    For those wondering where the toilet paper should go then: Greece is one of the countries where the plumbing in some areas cannot process toilet paper, so it goes in a bin next to the toilet. I don't know if this is caused by the type of paper. The other items could refer to the size of number 2

I mean they aren't super expensive tests, and the taxpayer cost for taking care of infected people/pandemics is much higher than any possible cost these tests can cause.

    There used to be in San Jose area, California, a two-lane road which was the outflow of a four lane divided road, and one would come around a curve to confront a sign that said Speed Limit 14.

    I've probably told this story here before, but the desk calendars we got at my workplace in 2020 were defective--you tore off February, and it was February again. If the mistake had been with March, it would have been so eerie. (We got the replacement ones in maybe a week before we went home for the 10 days that lasted 6 months.

    I got a calendar that had the fifth month removed. I was dismayed.

    Worked for a company that sold pension annuities. They had hundreds of mugs made, that the Marketing department said were just perfect, until somebody noticed they said pension anunities! Oh Marketing, you had one job.

    Looks like a washing machine or some other domestic appliance, with a handle to open the door but which is not strong enough if you're needing to move the machine itself..

    Err, no, it's common practice for some people to walk up or down moving escalators. For example, go to any London Underground station and you'll see 'stand on the right' signs to ensure you leave space for walkers to pass you on the left.

    Translation: We don't want to pay our employees more, so we're making the customers do it. At $23 for fajitas, they can afford to pay their employees more.

    Maybe. Depends on the local. In rural Wisconsin, yes. If that is in the Bay Area, no.

    This is where the American spelling of 'cheque' can be confusing. Do they mean it's added to everybody's bill, as in "check please" or just those guests who are paying by cheque/check?

    It's added to everybody's bill. It's highly unlikely they accept a personal check/cheque for payment as most places no longer do.

    "Please do not pick up the (baby) goats". Looks like a petting are in a zoo or farm. Maybe too many people dropped them and they got injured. Or in general, goats are not stuffed toys to be csrried around. Obviously popular by German speaking tourists, German is at the top, but incorrect. It should be "Bitte die Ziegen nicht aufheben/tragen. Vielen Dank".
