How many times have you bought something and after reading all the warnings asked yourself "How could anyone be so foolish as to use it this way?" Would you use a hair dryer in the shower? Of course not but I'll bet there's a similar warning in the instructions for it.
Just another example: Take a gander at a $1 white extension cord. There's two dollars worth of warning labels on it.... My opinon (FWIW) is you can't use the extension cord safely because of all the damn taped stickers that make it impossible to use.
