What's the world coming to? I just bought 2 bags of seed for my
parrots. Each one is 12.75kg. I picked both up at once and
carried
them easily, yet each ONE says on the back, "it is recommended
two
people carry this bag together". I find it very hard to believe
I'm
4
times stronger than the average person.

For the metric impaired, that is 28 pounds American. When I was
13
I
worked in a grocery store after school and moved 50# bags of sugar
and
potatoes. Probably most of us at that age could.

I don't have parrots but a few weeks ago I bought a 50# bag of
sunflower
seeds for the wild birds, slung it over my shoulder, grabbed a box
of
suet blocks with my other hand, checked out, and headed for the
car.
fwiw I haven't seen 13 in many decades.

You're lucky you weren't jailed for endangering yourself.

No one gets jailed for that.

Won't be long the way health and softy's going.

Bull****.

Have you not noticed the wimps are taking over?

No wimps have taken over anything to do with me.

It's the wimps that put these silly safety notices on everything.

I ignore them.

It's the wimps that make silly regulations forbidding people from just
getting on with what they're doing.

I ignore those too.
