What in the worrrrrrrrrld?
Today's question is: Why does every hairdryer come with instructions not to use while sleeping? Some say "Do not use while sleeping," while others carry the slightly more ominous warning, "Never use while sleeping." But either way, it's there, and it's there every time. It begets further questions, as well...
How does one go about operating a hairdryer while sleeping? The only thing I can think of is sleepwalking, but what good is the warning then anyway? It's not like you have a whole lot of foresight when you're sleepwalking... and how many people are sleepwalking straight to their hairdryers anyway? Sleepwalking is a fairly rare occurance, is it not? So how, exactly, are people managing to operate their hair appliances while they're sleeping in the first place, and how many times did this happen? I assume printing warnings in instruction manuals operates much in the same vein as the city putting up new street signs and lights... a few people have to die before it gets done. Interestingly, I do not notice consistent "do not wrap cord around neck" warnings, wouldn't that pose the more immediate threat?
Seriously, people. I need answers.
