Because fridge doesn’t come from refrigerator, it comes for a common, early brand of refrigerator: Frigidaire™
I use my hair dryer while I shower or sleep… 
‘beber con moderacion’ Which translates to ‘drink with moderation’
I ignore that one way to often.
…which also doesn’t have a d in front of the g.
IMNSHO fridge is spelt the way it is for the same reason the contraction of microphone is (often) spelt “mike” - to ensure that people pronounce it correctly.

I routinely give toys labelled “not suitable for children under 36 months” to my one-year-old
All natural peanut butter will go bad if you don’t refrigerate it after opening. Yuck, trust me, I had some go rancid. But if you eat it regularly and go through an entire jar quickly, there’s probably no problem with keeping it in the cupboard. I keep mine in the fridge and take it out shortly before I need to make my sandwich. Eg/ I eat peanut butter a lot for breakfast, so I just set the jar out on the counter before I get dressed. By the time I’ve pulled my socks on, the peanut butter is spreadable.
I also keep my ketchup in the fridge ever since I found mold in it from sitting out.
My table saw has no guards on it.
I’m pretty confident that most woodworkers do not use the guards on their table saw either.
Actually, I occasionally put the guard on for one purpose: long rip cuts. The standard table saw guard has a splitter that keeps the kerf open and little fingers that dig into the wood to prevent kickback.

I once saw a warning on a can of hair spray that said “Do not spray in vicinity of face.” Well, gee, guys, my whole head is in the vicinity of my face. Is this hair spray for my nether regions, or what?
I’ve never refrigerated a bottle of soy sauce a day in my life.
Re: the Q-Tip thing -
I, myself, am somewhat addicted to using them in my ears, but it’s still a really bad idea. I’m 95% certain that it has worsened my chronic ear infection issues, which have gotten me pretty darn close to surgery on occasion (within a day of going under the knife).
It’s amazing they show almost all the carpenters on the home decorating/reno shows with no guards on. I know it makes better TV but think of the misguided public.
In answer to the OP, I regularly use my Dremel for home dentistry.
not really
Along those same lines, the first thing I do when I buy a new lawn mower is to disable the kill switch thing that stops the motor if you let go.
Does it really say to do so? What could possibly grow in that much salt?
Because “fridge” and “frig” are two very different things! Confuse the two at your own peril!. :eek:
Most electrical heating pads say “Place heating pad on top not underneath of, the body part in need of heat.” I’ve been using heating pads on my back and neck for decades. I place a towel or blanket over the pad and lie down on it. Nothing bad has ever happened as a result.
That’s one thing I left in place – it occurred to me one day that a self-propelled mower really does need to stop if you lose grip of it. Of course, on the old non-self-propelled mower, a few turns of electrical tape on the bail did the trick.
I’m not sure if this is a woosh or not – everybody who wants to actually get work done takes those guards off. They aren’t looking for good TV; they want to cut the wood.
My soul has been saved!
Thank you, Saint asterion.
Inspect the vehicle all around before use. How many people have you seen, leave a store, and walk around the vehicle before leaving. It happens, but seldom.
Lawnmower manual: Do not operate this mower, without saftey glasses, and never when another person is in the yard.
I can tell you why the trampoline warns against more than one person at a time using it. The stored energy on the upward rebound from the first person can be added to the downward energy of the second person, breaking bones. Like two cars in a head on. The news had a report on it a few years ago. The parents were flabbergasted that it could happen. This was more than one family interviewed.
I cook my frozen stuffed chicken breasts in the microwave. The directions say not to. The only problem I’ve seen it cause is the insides become outsides, which doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
Is “No user serviceable parts inside” a warning?
I consider it a challenge.
