“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”
.
Today another selection of warnings signs and labels that were clearly either written for idiots or written by idiots. Perhaps a combination of both!
Don’t try to figure out why they wrote these things or you might hurt yourself.
Just enjoy.

“Please keep out of children.” That one must have been translated wrong! The warning for pizza and coffee never make sense. Guess they think we are all dumb! Good ones!
Thanks. I agree with what you say. If you are interested, the whole hot is hot warnings stem from a law case from the mid 1990s, Liebeck v. McDonald’s Restaurants, when a panel of idiot jurists in New Mexico awarded a stupid woman who spilled hot coffee on herself $2.86 million. The trial judge who was a slightly lesser idiot reduced the final verdict to $640,000, and the parties settled for a confidential amount before an appeal was decided. Unfortunately we’re still stuck with the warning signs in case there are more stupid jurists out there and I’m sure there are.
Outstanding collection … thus the place I need to add
On a pepperoni package … Don’t eat the wrapper
