Product Description
Product Description
If you have ever attempted to swallow a mattress or have forgotten to remove clothes before ironing them then this book will become a vital survival tool. For the rest of us it is a collection of the oddest, funniest and frankly most worrying instructions taken from genuine products around the world. Manufacturers from Turin to Tokyo seem truly concerned that we know their products may be hot after heating, that we should not place fireworks in our mouths or that we should really not use a hairdryer whilst showering. And please remember, your new toaster should not be used underwater.

Bought this for my Dad for Christmas, after "The World's Stupidest Signs" went down a storm the year before. My Dad is not a "laugh out loud" kind of guy - or at least he wasn't until these books!
An ideal stocking filler.

This is a great little book, I love these short little gems. Bought it for my partner but I must confess I read it first. I didn't intent to, its just that it was so addictive that I couldn't stop. Bought it along with Simon Ashley Richmond's classic collection of humorous excuses Write Again Vol 1, they go together like bacon and eggs.

Good for a little giggle but didn't take long to get from cover to cover. Quite large print and small book.

A book of 2 halves.
Some of the Stupid Instructions in this book are more a reflection on our society than a comment on instruction writers, and are not as funny as they might be: 'Caution! Read more

Instructions?
Good stocking filler for a Man! Think most of the instructions were probably written by one.
