There Are Really People Out There That Need This!!!!!

Took the trash out and this caught my eye. On the lid were molded in instructions for operating the trash can. Things like don't drag the cart, don't park on a slope, or play in.....Duh, but in larger letters was "TO MOVE, 1)GRASP HANDLES, 2 TILT, 3) PUSH OR PULL. Now before you laugh just think about it for second......there are apparently people out there who need these instructions.

It is sad that if the company didn't print these instructions the PODs of the world would sue.

the PODs of the world would sue.

What's even worse is that these are probably not otherwise stupid individuals, heck the person this applies to could very well be your doctor, lawyer, dentist, accountant........etc. While the world has advanced in technology and learning, it seems that we have digressed in the "common sense" department. I can actually remember a time when you didn't have to specifically tell people the obvious.

Yup.
I've worked with some of the dumbest smart people and some of the brightest people that have no outwardly discernible intellect.

I am often been accused of being stupid. Ask my wife, she will tell ya.
