in honour of all stupid people

In honor of ALL stupid people!
(This was posted in a cult i am in, Vegan-Veggie_Kids)

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed to stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods:

On a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping.
(Shoot, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair.)

On a bag of Fritos -- You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.
(the shoplifter special)?

On a bar of Dial soap -- "Directions: Use like regular soap,"
(and that would be how???....)

On some Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost."
(but, it's "just" a suggestion).

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn upside down."
(well...duh, a bit late, huh)!

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding -- "Product will be hot after heating."
(...and you thought????...)

On packaging for a Rowena iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body."
(but wouldn't this save me more time)?

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine -- "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication."
(We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(and...I'm taking this because???....)

On most brands of Christmas lights -- "For indoor or outdoor use only."
(as opposed to...what)?

On a Japanese food processor -- "Not to be used for the other use."
(now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious)

On Sainsbury's peanuts -- "Warning: contains nuts."
(talk about a news flash)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."
(Step 3: maybe, ooh...fly Delta?)

On a child's Superman costume -- "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."
(I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)

On a Swedish chainsaw -- "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."
(Oh my ..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity.

wats with ibm?

ok...i've been really irritated by my ibm lappy recently. it has done well to last past my last projects and papers. but ya'know wat? right after the last paper, it broke down -.-


luckily for me, the lappy was still under warranty (but it was like abt 2 weeks left). so it got me a free repair job. the day after i got my lappy back, it gave me this blue screen of death...some fucked up ati-driver problem!! ok so maybe i get that once in awhile. so i thought nothing of it, but guess wat? 3 days down the road, i got the same problem when i left the com runnin for more than 4hrs. WTF?! i get that prob once in awhile as in once a year or sumthin liddat, not once in a few days!!


then it started giving me the same prob once a day, and soon it led to everytime i switched on my lappy. made me so fed up i called ibm to try and let off some steam (yeah i know, those poor guys) but as expected, ibm still has the best cust svc i've ever come across in my life.


so i got my com repaired for free again, but i had to get my com totally restored back to factory settings. and then the warranty expired. so now that i got it totally restored to factory settings (i paid $32 for them to reinstall my os) i thought my com is back to normal again. then just 2 days later my com refused to start. FUCK!!! ";...;"


so i called in to make some noise, and as usual b4 i can make any noise, i got wat i wanted, and they sent a delivery man to pick up my com instead of me sending it to the post office as i had in the past. perfect! but i told them this time that i wont tolerate any more nonsense from them. they have been warned that my com has been repaired twice and each time it came back with a diff prob. if it still comes back with another prob, this post may appear in the press O.O?!


ok know wat...my eyes are tired from facing a white screen for so long, so thats the end of this post :D

monday non blues

what a way to start off a monday...


the mornin started much like any other, and i was waiting for the bus again. hey its a new wk ahead of me!


then there was this bus with a stubborn door in front of me. it was a long bus(yes i need the word long in there, u'll know why soon ;) ) and the driver took the pain to get out of the bus, walk to the back cabin and manually shove the door back in.


when the door was close, the bus suddenly grew a life of its own!


it started moving foward, and it was a downward slope so u can imagine...anyway, the bus driver was at the back door, so naturally being a long bus, he had quite alot of runnin to do to catch up with the bus. MAN U SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE LOOK ON HIS FACE!!!! the joke of the year!!


yes, fortunately or unfortunately he couldnt catch it in time. the bus hit a lamp post a few metres ahead and then crashed into a huge tree the next few metres, and then it stopped.


i was laughing too hard to do anything but too bad my bus came ard that time so i had to tapao the rest of my laughter for the office.
