These are the same kind of people who freak out when you tell them everyone who has consumed dihydrogen monoxide will die.

I have a laser engraving machine at work that houses a class 3 fiber laser. The amount of people that lose their shit when you open the door to add/remove parts or straight up walk 50ft around the thing is insane. All because of a little sticker that says "Caution- Laser Radiation". They seem to think it's a reactor core or something. No matter how many times I've explained the difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, and showed them the data sheet and safety interlocks, I get the same one line argument "It says radiation. It's gonna give everyone here cancer."

It’s gonna give everyone here cancer.”

Then they head off to the lake/beach for the weekend to work on their tan.

One of the ladies goes to a tanning salon. These people work with Tetrahydrofuran and Ethylene Chloride, but decided to make this the hill to die on.

Does your work have baseboard heaters or radiators? Maybe it’s time to start putting those little stickers on everything that radiates energy

I've thought about it, but decided it's probably not worth getting sent to HR over. Chances are they'd be just as clueless and wouldn't find the joke very funny. Would be hilarious to watch the chaos unfold though.
