:: Unnecessary Process :: Hand Dryer
I see this image all the time. The first graphic may be semi-useful, if the person's finger wasn't chopped off, and if the hand was near the actual button. The other graphic shows what to do with the device, because if you didn't know what the device was you could look at the graphic and know red death rays will attack your dismembered hands.
I also found this diaper graphic online. Not sure if it real, but as a parent I can tell you you don't need instructions to know how to check a diaper...

:: Narrative :: Stacy's pita chips
I was surprised how long the search was to find a package with narrative. The best I could find was the story/history of Stacy's pita chip company:
"I've always had a passion for good food and healthy living, even back in the days of owning a sandwich cart in downtown Boston. Back then, my partner and I made all the natural pita roll-up sandwiches and, as an incentive for customers to wait in line, we baked pita bread into different flavored chips. The chips because remarkably popular and before we knew it, Stacy's Pita Chip Company was born...."
Most items I found in my search started out telling a story, but quickly changed after the first sentence into a product description.

New British Coins
Unveiled a few weeks ago, the new British Coins of the Pound Sterling present a cohesive design to the seven coins. The design ingeniously divides the British Royal Shield into six sections on the back of six coins, and uses the pound coin as a reference to the shield's entirety. Design details can be found at the Royal Mint.
Post-It Notes as Wall Art
Maria's mention of Post-It Notes as wall art reminded me of the above image. Students from UCSC obviously have way too much time on their hands. It is an awesome display of dedication, planning, and perseverance to construct a monumental tribute to a video game icon. More images and a time lapsed video can be found at this site.
