I had a new range delivered today. It came with a hefty operation manual.
"Do not allow children to climb inside the oven ".
"Do not allow children to sit on the oven door" and much to my and my GCs' amusement...
"Do not dry your pet in the oven".

Oh darn CocoPops how will you manage to dry your pets, if you can't stick them in the oven ...
I think I'd send it back ... ?

Some years ago we bought a new keyboard for the computer. It came with the warning "do not BBQ"
Glad they told me that.

When I was a child and had my hair washed I used to be sat on a small stool in front of the open door of the lit gas stove to dry it when I became a teen that wasn’t fast enough so I used to light the top gas ring and lean over that

BlueBelle you sent shivers down my spine!!

I think the writers of the manual have been brought up on stories of old witches kidnapping children in dark forests!

I always get a few smiles from this webpage:

Good grief, CocoPops. I hope you sent it back ASAP.

I recall getting the trampoline and the warning on it read THIS CAN CAUSE DEATH or words to the effect.

Made me paranoid.

From the washing instructions in DH's black trousers:
"Do not bleach. That would be stupid."
