Unnecessary warnings

We need less of everything. Social sites, news channels, cars, people and especially warnings. Have you seen how the western civilization has decided to warn people about every little thing that a person can think of doing as soon as he gets up till he retires to bed? First comes the morning ablutions. Well the dentist community has taken it to heart to warn those yokels that if they are not flossing 5 minutes around their dental framework then they are going to face the music .. the wind between the teeth (due to collapsing of the enamel etc) sooner than desired. If not flossing the warning continues you need to use an electric motorized brushing gadget so that all the detritus from previous encounters with excessive food can be cleaned out. Until its time for the next batch of calories. If not then look forward to massive dental fees to get it professionally waxed and polished. I mean the tribals used wood sticks they pulled off the local bark. They managed but we idiotic civilized ones cannot? After that grim episode of attending to the grinding machinery we turn our attention to the breakfast activity where if one walks out to the local coffee shop the cups scream about contents being hot and that doing other activity while consuming beverage from said utensil could result in bodily injury. After manuevering through that silly episode we turn the ignition of our beloved automobile to head out to tackle the day. Here too one faces a bewildering array of warnings about not sitting too close to the air bag that only will protect if you follow the instructions of how to get in to an accident. Also do not forget that self restraining device aka belt which if not worn will beep till the cows come home. Too bad that belt cannot double up for the trouser kind since I often forget that. That accomplished you want to not drink that hot beverage while driving. After all this hula baloo we arrive at the airport to take off to an offsite meeting. Warnings about what to and what not to take with you to the plane abound. Very soon we will see naked citizenry on planes with no bags. This because theoretically there is no way to tell what the sophisticated bombers are carrying to destroy their brethren with unless they are stark naked. This helps if you are stark raving mad as well. (separate blog on new business opp at airports - clothing charities at departure gates along with new clothes sales at arrival) Boarding and sitting down in your seat all you want to do is forget why you are there and just hope to reach your destination as soon as you can. But wait - first comes all the important safety messages. Beginning with how to tie that belt. Another belt. If by now you have somehow not figured out what this belt contraption is you should deplane and take lessons. Or in my case I just choose to ignore the dumb wait staff hovering on the plane in the pretext of being stewards and not wear it. I mean why scrunch yourself further after being squeezed for good money between two people anyway. Where am I gonna go? Next is the monotonous video of how to use yellow breathing appartus that pops out of the roof in event of a depressurizing or water landing. In case of latter it would appear that we would be over water and that we have practical approaches to actually landing on water when all engines have failed. (small tidbit - Flight between California and Phoenix, Arizona actually flies over a desert called Death Valley where there is no sign of water). Whence these yellow cups would come in handy. Also remember that you have to wear these before helping others. No kidding. These days the best warning would be - prepare to arrive whenever the airline wishes and not what your ticket might say.
