An escalator at the local mall has a warning sign that includes "no wheelchairs". Apparently someone tried to use the escalator in a wheelchair.

That's a standard sign that you see on escalators ...I guess so that the mall can avoid lawsuits from folks who claimed that they weren't warned.

Check out a typical electric blow-dryer. The warning label may tell the user to not operate the dryer in the shower or tub. I wonder how many electrocutions occur each year because people failed to heed that warning.

There must be some thick people around because on a packet of peanuts there are now allergy warnings that they have been prepared where there maybe traces of nut.

After which, she likely contacted her lawyer to sue someone for not posting a guard who would have protected her from her own stupidity.

Haha! Yes! Or sued the descendants of the inventor of the esculator....

Why would anyone use a blow dryer while in the shower? That is when they are getting their hair wet.

Amurricans need warnings for everything so they don't end up suing for doing something stupid because they were not warned, like an ADULT-sized Superman costume that came with a warning saying you won't be able to fly like Superman when you wear it, or a jar of peanut butter with the warning that it contains peanuts.
