That the heat time which is the only information most people care about reading on the packages of microwave food is printed in such tiny text and you have to look for it like it was a game of where's waldo. If anything that should be in huge letters on the front. Not opposite.
shareI love how the mac and cheese with the premade sauce packet, even it has instructions. Boil some water, boil the mac until soft, drain and stir in the sauce.
I wonder if there is a liability issue? Like someone eats the uncooked mac and sues because they got sick and cut up their mouth.
You're probably not far off, i think they want to cover themselves as much as possible, there are all sorts of idiots out there and the chance is at least one would misunderstand things and eventually take things to court.
shareThe litigious types willing to injure themselves for a settlement, technically legitimate insurance fraud through a manipulated third party as middleman, they're the ones that have truly filled the world with warning signs and caution messages and fine text.
shareThere was an incident in my country where a railway company got complaints from parents after some teenagers climbed on a train and one of them died. In their opinion it was too easy to get past the fences and warnings. Not at any time did they even suggest there is something called self preservation. Everything was blamed on anyone except the kids. I guess they thought it should be assumed no one can think for themselves in this world. View people as dumb animals.
shareThe worst part is that its truly counterproductive.
Example one is the European city that famously removed all street signage like stop signs, warnings, etc. The concept was that the signs cause reliance on their warnings, which actually distracts the driver from the road and their surroundings. Removing the signs would allow and demand complete focus, and paying attention to whats important. Accidents, particularly pedestrian involved ones, dropped dramatically and it was a success.
Second example is the teenager paradox. The mind subconsciously diverts attention and mental resources away from unnecessary thoughts. Its unavoidable. So parents that are always reminding their kids or telling them what they need to do, they are literally preventing the kids from remembering and handling those things on their own. They are preventing the onset of responsibility!
What was the city?
shareI'd have to look it up. I feel like its Austrian for some reason. Plus I'd want to checkup now years later to see if it was permanent.
shareIt's a bit like how honking on other cars in traffic can cause accidents instead of preventing them. Here in sweden it's illegal to use the car horn if it's not really needed. Most doesn't care but it's technically a crime.

Thanks for the find, i'll look into it :-)
shareBernard Goetz! He got sued by one of the kids he shot for trying to rob him, who won $43 million that he never got.
shareReminds me of the guy who won when he sued the owner of a house that he was planning on looting but slipped on the ice outside and hurt himself.
shareHow’d they know if his looting plans?
What about the older lady who sued McDonalds for serving her hot coffee? That got spoofed on Seinfeld.
Couldn't be much else. He might've even admitted that was his intention. It wouldn't really matter since he never got around to start his robbery before he slipped. I never heard of that woman but i can believe that, people thruly has no limits or shame when it comes to these things.
shareI know!

lol, i was reminded of another crazy one now, i never turned into a case but a travel company once got complaints from a family who had been on one of their trips because they thought that the beach had to much sand on it XD
shareTo be fair, if a person has never made mac & cheese (or seen it made) before they would need directions. Common sense is not so common these days.
shareGedmend just outed himself as old. lol. Keep a magnifying glass in the cupboard. That’s what my grams does. 👁
Edit: This comment was not meant to be ageist, but more along the lines of not wanting to expose one's life details. I now see how unrealistic that is!

shareYou could complain that there isn’t enough to complain about; you could start by writing a very strongly worded letter!
shareThe fact that if I like a product it seems to get discontinued. Many of my friends have asked me not to like things they like because if I do they won't be able to get it anymore.
shareYa that happens to me too. Can you share an example
shareWell one example is a grocery chain in my area had a store brand gingerbeer that I loved. So I wrote them long FB message telling them how wonderful the product was and how great it was to not have to spend a fortune on importing fees to get a tasty gingerbeer. They wrote back thanking me and telling me that they loved the product too and within a month it was gone.
My favourite tea store offers samples all time and the last time I walked by I tasted one and when the employee asked me what I thought of it, I told him that I hated it. He was questioning why so I told him my problem with the discontinuations and he asked me which teas I liked. All gone. So he talked me into trying a new one, and I liked it. Just found out this week it's discontinued now as well.

Cheese:
I can totally relate to that one.
Never tell Stratego you will not be serving the smelly kind,
unless you want to test the acoustics of your walls!

I couldn’t agree more! We are becoming a nation of “its”. Gender Neutral! Schools are now permitting hormone injections be given to those as young as 8 yrs. old! There will be undesirable harmful effects as a result. These babes in the woods have been conditioned to not know what they are. Girls 13 yrs old are having double mastectomies!
