Talk About Extreme Stupidity

[sk9tingfan]

I thought I would get this started with a story that was just posted in Newser:

Truck-Stop Camel Sits on Woman, Woman Bites Camel's Testicles

What's a truck-stop camel? That was just one of our many questions here.

www.newser.com

 

[kittyjake5]

OMG My question is why is this camel living at a Gas Station?This is quite a story?

The article says there is a petting zoo at the station.

The article says there is a petting zoo at the station.

But it is not your usual petting zoo is it. The article also says this "peculiar roadside attraction has long drawn the wrath of animal rights groups."

Even so, the camel was at the gas station because of the petting zoo.

I agree that a gas station is not a healthy environment for animals, and hope they will be relocated.

And who would think to. It's his testicles?

What about the young lady who decided to put an octopus on her face as a joke or a dare (can't recall which) and the octopus bit her causing a swelling and reaction.............can you blame the octopus?

And featured in both The New York Times and the Washington Post:

An update for Gorilla Glue Girl:

‘A Big Relief’ for Woman Finally Free of Gorilla Glue in Her Hair (Published 2021)

No one could figure out how to help Tessica Brown until a Los Angeles plastic surgeon stepped in. If she could go back, she said, she would just have worn a hat.

www.nytimes.com

This part of the article cracked me up:

The spokeswoman declined to comment on whether Ms. Brown’s experience had led to any discussion about whether to add hair to the list of improper places to use Gorilla Glue Adhesive Spray on the product’s label.

 

[Cachoo]

I don’t know if I the warning exists anymore but once upon a time, because some Bozo did this with disastrous results, Sears had a warning that their push mowers were not to be picked up and used as hedge trimmers.

 

[MacMadame]

The warning already says not to put it on skin but I suppose someone might not think hair was skin even though hair is attached to the scalp.

 

[BYTCH]

I hope her hair grows back, I can imagine her being bald for the rest of her life.

But I started at the tale of the woman biting the camel's testicles, Do you have any idea of how bad a camel smells?

 

[MacMadame]

I hope her hair grows back,

Oh, she didn't lose her hair! Very surprising, I know. Of course, it could all fall out from stress later but the doctor she is working with is doing some scalp treatments to try to prevent that.

It is interesting looking at the Warning Labels on things. For example an iron carries the warning "Do not use this device on clothes your are wearing" or "Do not take (insert drug name) if you are allergic to this drug). "

And I am sure that gorilla glue will soon have a new warning, even though common sense should have handled this behavior.

These warnings which really are common sense need to be stated (at a fair cost to the who produce these items) because people do the most outrageous things. Stupid things.

Common sense isn't as common as the name suggests.

Keep these examples coming haha.

I heard another one today: Caution. Pudding will become hot if heated.?

 

[syzygy]

Same with the "hot oil can burn you" on microwave popcorn

 

[kedrin]

'Caution: do not use trampoline in rooms with low ceilings.' Still my favorite.

 

[Susan1]

These Actual Warning Labels Will Make You Sigh For Humanity

"Don't pour coffee on crotch," "don't check fuel with lighted match," and more real, face-palming warnings on American products.

[hanca]

Not sure if someone already mentioned this, but ‘caution - product contains nuts’ label on a bag of walnuts.

My favourite is on medical leaflets where it says:

"Please discontinue taking this medication if you experience dizziness, fainting spells, coma or death"

The first three kind of make sense, but the ship has probably sailed on the last one.

Maybe the people who created this leaflet know something we don't know about communicating to and from the dead.

Every commercial that says do not take this if you are allergic to it. Why not??????

 

[taf2002]

Every commercial that says do not take this if you are allergic to it. Why not??????

And how do you know unless you take it?

 

[Susan1]

And how do you know unless you take it?

If you took it before and almost died? That might be a good clue not to try it again?

 

[syzygy]

And how do you know unless you take it?

They can do allergy tests for some medications.

My favorite is the hairdryer one... “Do not use while sleeping”

 

[MacMadame]

I will note that the sign on the Chipotle truck is not a warning but is part of their marketing. IOW, it's a cute joke.

And.....this is what’s going on at a high school in Baltimore.....

I have so many thoughts - about the student, his mother, the school itself - and I don’t want to rant too much in this post. But how did the school district NOT know that this school was THIS bad? Also, wouldn’t there have been an alarm at the state (Maryland) level?

That video clip in this story is just beyond mind blowing.
