Aargh.
So, topping the shit-list this morning is whoever designed and passed for printing the Scott's Turf Builder 2+ packaging.
Under medical warnings, it talks about eye exposure, inhalation, skin irritation... but not a single word about ingestion.
I called the clearly printed "Emergency Medical Information" phone number, and got a customer service/product locating department, was told "we have no medical training, I can send you the Materials Safety sheet though" and then they gave me the actual number to the medical info department. Now, I was looking for info on a case that had already been dealt with, but what if I was really in the midst of an emergency? Calling the listed emergency number only to be on hold for 5 minutes in a department that doesn't know how to deal with the question before being given the phone number of a totally different department is NOT what people want to experience during an emergency.
Second on the list, JAVMA and the utter lack of editing evinced in the issue I'm reading. Examples from the article I'm currently forcing myself to slog through:
Really? no shit? History includes history data?
Uhm. no. just... no. "antemortem" is defined as prior to death, for those who don't know. This particular statem was repeated several times, in discussion of different categories of cattle.
(See? I mock grammar issues for people other than political extremists.)

"There are 4 basic components in this decision-making process:
*History, which includes history data..."
Really? no shit? History includes history data?
"The most common reasons for antemortem condemnations of cows included dead animals..."
Uhm. no. just... no. "antemortem" is defined as prior to death, for those who don't know. This particular statem was repeated several times, in discussion of different categories of cattle.
