Warning Signs
Posted: Thu 11 January, 2007 Filed under: Customer Services, Cynicism, Weirdness 2 Comments »I normally find some amusement from the warning signs and notices that currently seem to be appearing everywhere.
Yesterday, I was looking in the local M&S, and had a look at one of their prawn mayonnaise sandwiches. Impressively, it had the warning
May contain shellfish
What gets me, though, is the “May”. It’s a bloody prawn sandwich – if it doesn’t contain shellfish, I want to know why! After all, at that point really it’s just a mayonnaise sandwich.
We have a ‘boiler’ in our teapoint with a yellow hazard sign declaring “! Hot Water”
Sadly this is only too true. Sadly, also, I like to make tea with boiling water. Sadly, also, the ‘boiler’ appears to be misnamed…
Egg boxes also have allergy cautions saying “contains eggs”.
