were they free?

There is no scanner in my store I just saw 2 staff members one holding a big crate the other was loading these in, 20 or so minutes later they were putting them back on the shelves, I couldn't see what the yellow stickers were covering, was it a buy 2 for x amount? Or was it the price which was wrong so a DTD? I have no clue just thought it was an odd thing to do.

In Honour of Stupid People.....



[In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.]

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

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

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 bulldozers.)

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


On a Pifco hairdryer -- "Do not use while sleeping." (That's the only time I have to work on my hair.)

On a bag of Doritos -- "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???....)

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

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

On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (..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 an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."(Step 3: say what?)

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 God..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity to someone you want to bring a smile to....maybe even chuckle.

I know that feeling, invoicing, I hate invoicing, its the most boring job in the world but when I show him a pile he looks so hapy, bless him;)





I started on a day I'd smoked because I just did the "I'm smoking these ciggies up then I'm giving up" The thing that amazes me now, other than feeling better, is how much money I've saved:T Just do it when your ready. but trust me you will feel so much better when you do;)

Invoicing now I don't mind them BUT chasing them that gets me sooo mad.

You've done so well with it.

mmmmm, that is odd, and certainly one to look out for

They're on a roll at the moment...maybe the outgoing bossman has been playing with the barcodes :rotfl::rotfl:

Apologies for being slow I'm still catching up but is there an online link to the Price Flop coupons?

I can't find it and I would be eternally grateful if anyone can help!

Thank you kindly!

I mentioned once before that I have had this op and yes it is a bit painful afterwards, but seriously it isn't that bad.

I just took paracetamol, which was enough to lessen the pain.

Best of all I have not had any recurrence of the tennis elbow since the surgery and that is about 17 years ago!:)

So please don't worry too much about having it done!!:D

Thanks Squigs:) he just put the fear of god up me to be honest. I've never had a doctor tell me I'll be in agony and then describe exactly what he was going to do, think I'd rather not know;)

Chasing, I'm evil at that;)I used to be so timid, not anymore:eek:If they can't pay and they explain thats fine, If they ignore me I'm like the devil woman!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
