and rudeness.: We're all doomed.

Welcome

I am a girl named Ryan.

Yes, a girl. Always been one... Will ALWAYS be one. I am also a daughter, sister, wife, mother and graphic designer. I blog here to share the stories of how I can some how manage to be all of those titles & SOMEHOW stay sane. If thats what you call it.

If you need me for anything or have a question about something... please email me at ryanikon@gmailDOTcom.

and about rudeness.

and rudeness
of the week.

fastlane rudeness.

You know when your schedule is so busy you dont even have time to stop and think? And you cant even remember what day it is? But all you know is you have to be somewhere NOW and you have to go to the store NOW and you have to drop off something NOW and you have to GO NOW AND DO NOW AND BE NOW! And OMG! I am in the fastlane, been stuck here for 3 days and I dont think I'm getting out for a couple more days.

and rudeness.

and old rudeness.

and find rudeness.

We're all doomed.

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

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

On a bag of Fritos: 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 Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (PRINTED ON THE BOTTOM!):"Do not turn upside down."
(Well...duh, a bit late, huh!)

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

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

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 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. Any suggestions?)

On Sainsbury's peanuts: "WARNING: Contains nuts."
(Talk about a news flash!)

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."
(OMG!... was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

You know, I have actually heard of people burning themselves attempting to iron their clothes while wearing them. Stupidity knows no bounds. Also, I wonder if the Japanese one might be a bad translation or something? I once bought a German beer with a label declaring it "Supremely drinkable!" They must not have had a native English-speaker helping them out with that slogan... :)
