It is hard to find anything in the consumer marketplace that doesn't have some kind of warning. Worst case is probably a ladder. I was asked to go on a "ladder training course" at work. I just laughed and refused. When said safety officer saw me using a 3 part extended one many many feet up in the air, she covered her eyes and said "I didn't see that". I believe she used a swearword the time she found me not using a ladder because someone had borrowed it. I made a pyramid of 9, 4, 1 square desks to reach a high ceiling. It was actually quite stable and safer than a ladder. Jumping off the top caused a woman to scream. |

If they're donuts in America and not doughnuts, do they make them with do? |

Impossible not to when you build a house on bare block of land, have an row of trees close to the house on the south side of the house in the southern hemisphere with some of them more than 100' high now. In fact I have 5 of them, two extension ladders, two 8' step ladders, one small step ladder I use for stacking up the milk crates full of full sized glass beer bottles we call long necks. Not one of them has any warning at all. In the UK they have a huge (usually about 7 inches square) red sticker under the top platform, listing 10 different things you can do wrong. |

Then explain why my lemonade bottle says to cover cap with hand due to dangerous high pressure container? Even you should have noticed that that isnt everything. It's not a ****ing scuba tank ffs. Your hand doesn’t work with those. |

Well thanks for letting me know, I'll be sure to use that method now you've told me about it.... Thinking of warnings, I've had a lawn mower with a warning sticker saying don't put your hands and feet under the deck while it's running. Maybe somebody thinks it'll just clean your finger and toe nails. I've seen stepladders with warnings about not using the top 'step' to step on. I had a miniature working cannon with a warning sticker which stated "Do not look into barrel of cannon while firing". That last one is the one that really started me thinking about stupid warnings on things. |
