Stupid Labels
In case you needed further proof that the Human Race is rife with stupidity, here are some actual label instructions from various international consumer products.

REMEMBER, OBJECTS IN THE MIRROR ARE ACTUALLY BEHIND YOU.

AFTER OPENING, KEEP UPRIGHT.
On a New Zealand insect spray:
THIS PRODUCT NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS.
In an American guide to setting up a new computer:
