Most of us don't really take the time to pay careful attention to the product instructions we receive when purchasing an item - however, you should. If not for the instructions themselves, at least for the hidden easter eggs.
Bored Panda has created a list of the funniest instructions and tags you'll be glad you bothered to read. Some of them are so obvious and stupid they'll make you question where humanity is going. Others are so unexpectedly smart and witty, they will surprise you with their originality. One thing is for sure, most of them will put a smile on your face.

I can do nearly anything in house but wash cloths. I can cook, I can wash dishes, I can clean nearly anything, I can take care about our baby (I was left with her few times and she is still alive) but automatic washing machine was created in different logic.

That label actually makes it more complicated - At what water temperature? Gentle cycle or not? How hot can I dry it, or do I have to hang dry? If I spent 50 bucks on a shirt, I'd like to not ruin it!
So... look at the other side of the label, where the real instructions are?

Bought This Shirt Today And Looked At The Tag...
Prepare a bath of lukewarm water made with two parts detergent and one part washing soda and gently lower lower yourself into it. Proceed to rub yourself onto the tub's walls or use a brush to force out the accumulated dirt. Finish off with a nice cold shower. There's you have it. A clean shirt.
Load More Replies...There are so many that would benefit from this advice. If only more read their instruction labels.
VERY good instructions!! Don't you just hate THAT man who catches a glipse of the sun and takes off his top to reveal a rather unsightly body!!!!! 😂
Um, ok where I live it's ALWAYS the super tanned, gym bros that look for any excuse to take their shirts off. They are soooo cocky and just LOVE their ripped bods. So when the tag says, " Don't be one of THOSE guys," I imagine they're referring to the gym bros. They're just not very pleasant to have a conversation with. And it's like, taking off your T-shirt for no real reason is planting the seed that turns you into a douche bro. Don't plant the seed! Don't be one of those guys.

I do always wash my butt. I get sop and wash right in the crack and my a**s.
That's an instruction for men. I read an article recently about how guys were taught that nothing goes in their a*s so they didn't wash properly. Some women were even complaining about their boyfriend's/husband's skidmarks on the beds and couches, disgusting.
I'll wash my butt as instructed. But now I'm tempted to throw it into the fire while wearing it. Just to see what happens
Always wash your butt? Do the people who wear this type of clothing really need to be told that? *L* Life instructions done!
The Instructions For This Furniture Tell Me To Grab A Beer.
I've never thought of drinking while assembling, but it may not be such a bad idea
In finland we have a word for that exact thing: "asennuskalja" = "assembly beer"

Good thinking on the manufacturers side - to minimise stress whilst fitting the pieces together.
This is a great idea! I am so bad at putting things together that a drink would probably help me not hurt!

Instructions Unclear...
lol!! the code for "when necessary" is PRN, "rectally" is PR - what a difference one letter makes :D
Mine doesn't have that direction.. maybe I should consult my pharmacist to ensure I'm doing it right.
Usually inhalers have the directions "as needed" at the end, which is typed "PRN" in sig code. "Rectally" is typed as "PR" in sig code.
*I know nobody asked, but I rarely know things so I'm jumping at the opportunity.

A Page In My Ikea Instruction Manual Told Me To Throw Out One Of The Parts
Actually, I think this is no joke but serious. Many ikea articles with moving parts come with plastic security clip-like thingys that are to be disposed.
Actually, it's brilliant, they use the same parts packages for multiple items, so some of those items don't need all the same parts.
I knew someone who worked in a plant that made DIY stuff. Her job was to package up the nuts & bolts type of stuff into little plastic bags. She hated her job, and told me if she was having a bad day, she would throw a couple extra pieces into a bag every once in a while. I don't know why, but I guess it made her feel better. Never shorted any of them, though.
Sometimes things are packaged in pairs but you only need one. The company finds it less expensive to include the extra part rather than have someone open the bags and repackage them.
When I've finished building something from idea, I normally have to throw it all away, grab a beer and order a ready made one online

I look at some warnings on labels and shake my head and go WTF because obviously someone has done said warning before it was there and so the company/manufacturer had to add it later to cover themselves.
