The "Do Not Drink/Ingest" warnings on bottles of bleach!!!
The "Do Not Drink/Ingest" warnings on bottles of bleach!!!
While we are discussing idiocy.. has anyone actually read a fabric care label these days?.
My favorites are the ones from clothes made in Central or South America..
"Wash by hand or by machine." I suppose if few have machines it is not so obvious that if it is machine washable, it is certainly hand washable...
or black items that read "DO NOT USE CHLORINE BLEACH" Trust me... do it once and you've pretty much leared that one for life. LOL

Quote:"Machine not working
a - Is the machine plugged in?
b - Has the Power button been pressed?"
LOL - how stupid can you get???
My story:
Mom is in a 2-family house (upper apt rented).
Wife and husband rent it. He is a pianter and repainted the kitchen when mom had it gutted and re-done.
Dear old mom calls me to say they are having trouble with the gas stove. Won't light.
Surface burners won't "click" (spark ignitor not functining).
Oven wont get hot. (electric glow-bar and electric controlled gas solenoid).
IS IT PLUGGED IN, MOM?
OMG I SO KID YOU NOT. THREE adults, one less functional than the next.
Now even better, the outlet for the stove is above the stove backsplash and is plainly visible. Do you think the tenants who see this every day would have realized the plug is not in?
I REST MY CASE.
Another time there was a gas leak. What did the tenant do?
I swear to Zeus, turned on the light and picked up the phone. (spark #1 and spark #2)
She (tenant!)just pushed out a kid. Can't wait to see how that goes!!!

I am truly scared.

Just as a joke one time.....
I got ahold of a label maker where I use to work, and on the inside of the stall in the men's bathroom I wrote:
"Please don't lick here" and put it in various places in the bathroom....the toilet seat, ceiling, actually onto the toilet paper, the towel dispenser, the door knob.
And of course the implied meaning was that this had happened consistently before, and had to stop!

wacky people.
Gross and thought-free actions include cleaning the seat of a NYC subway with one's hand to avoid schmutz on derriere.
uh, but you are currently eating micky-d's fries with your hand..
do you not see that this this is horribly gross?
OR a dinner party described in other thread. Mr bull-in-a-china-shop friend wants to "Help" {GO SIT DOWN!]
Puts a stack of clean plates right out of the china cabinet on a chair while the tablecloth is being spread.
In my loudest voice (because I have mentioned this one to this guy repeatedly over the course of the years) "Please don't put the clean plates where we put our a@@e@."

Another bout of BRILLIANT activity.
TAD'S Steak House on 34th Street off of 7th Avenue (across the street from Macy's) New York, NY.
Every night for YEARS they take a rubber floor mat off the floor, and place it ON THE GRILL, which is right near the huge plate-glss store window.
Need I mention that the help there consistently use bleach on the floor, not a degreaser and that the floor is sticky from grease/goo?
mmmmm THIS STEAK IS SOOOOOOOO YUMMMY!!!!
Do the owners/management not see that this can't possibly be good for business?
*UGH*
