So you must buy the hand seperately? That is an outrage!

  That concept really is true. I recently bought a 2-door 6 ft high cabinet to use for pantry . Reviewing the parts for assembly it had no back. The back is extra. Are you kidding me ?! Took that sucker right back.

Science is amazing today, so I suppose customers could be disappointed having not received the human hand when it was clearly portrayed in the photo.

I laugh when I see warnings on packages as silly as “Do not swallow” on a package of buttons. Blessings to you, Carl…

When my 2 now adult children were growing up 8 arms and 8 hands would not be enough. I renamed them Suspect #1 and Suspect #2.

Darn, I really could have used another hand so I can use my hair dryer while sleeping. But wait…

Maybe it’s their subtle way of telling us the thing doesn’t cost an arm and a leg?

  Yes it was that way. That’s the absurdity and there are so many like this ad. And advertisers are supposed to be smart?

  Sometimes I wonder since most of this stuff we must buy here is from China, if it is poor English translation or lack of idiomatic understanding or just plain idiocy.

The hand (or lack thereof) is a deal breaker.

  That’s right. If we can’t “shake on it” there is no deal. Transactions with honor.

  Yes I think so. Labels contain all kinds of absurdities so companies can protect themselves against the foolish or purposeful actions of consumers. I understand in Italy the trains have signs that say “Do not step off the train while it is in motion” Say what ?

Wow. We are evolving…into a bunch of idiots! I’m a little bummed the hand isn’t doesn’t come with it. What a relief the sample time card is included, though 🙂

I had a pair of khaki pants with “remove belt before washing” in the care instructions. It was a leather belt (?!)

well, in that case I’m NOT going to place an order. Glad they told me, or I would have been very dissapointed when my new (employee time card puncher?) arrived without a severed limb..
