Torker DX has a sticker on the front of the seat tube that reads, Front.

That’s very useful, because if you put the pedals in the wrong cranks it’ll strip the threads, or if you put the seat on backwards the pedals will come undone and fall off while you’re riding…

Cranks are labelled left and right, also, what if I flip the frame around? Have the seat the other way and the wheel the other way…

[habbywall]

Then your frame is backwards, and you look stupid.

Is it not more such that the seat clamp works efficiently?

I saw one at someone’s house on an outdoor couch cushion that said something to the effect of “This material is not flame retardant in the state of California”.

on the back of a pack of clothes line pegs

“warning, wear safety protection when using tools”.

dad and i laughed when we read that one.

I though wheel chairs couldn’t go upstairs?

this maybe a sign but its still funny

as i only know how to have a link and not an attached image.

I shot this pic myself in Amsterdam
The green ligth is a bit too bright; but this really is a pedestrian traffic-light (like the road signing indicates).
And for those who don’t know; the traffic sign on the thraffic light means it’s forbidden to walk beyond.

[burjzyntski]

I see these signs all the time, but I still think it’s a bit funny:
(At a railroad crossing) “Do not stop on tracks” …duh.

reminds me of whoever says something about darwin, removing the warning labels from things, and letting everything sort itself out.

On a packet of peanuts: “Warning: contains nuts”. It already says “Peanuts” in large, friendly letters on the front, so what’s the point?

I’ve seen “Always store upright” printed on a delicate trifle pudding’s packaging… on the bottom. So by the time you’ve turned it upside down and seen the warning, it’s a bit late.

Some medicine to help people fall asleep, has the small warning “May cause drowsiness”. I already know it can make you drowsy by reading the summaries on the packages, or the fact that it may cause drowsiness mean it may not work all the time? I wouldn’t buy it…

And why did some kiddies cough medicine have the stark warning “If affected, do not drive or operate machinery”? Well, I suppose when they sit in those big plastic toy cars that they push along with their feet, you could technically call it driving.

Plus, why is it when I see any cashier at my supermarket scan some childrens’ medicine, the till flashes a warning “Is customer 16 or over?”? Errr… since when has a child been over 16?

Other than the Always store upright label, all the labels you mention here are because of government regulation. It’s easier to have the labels on everything then to make an exception in the law saying, “any food product containing nuts must carry a warning that it may contain nuts, except products clearly labelled as nuts.”

And ussually it’s adults who but the cold medicine for their children.
