I ordered a tiny POE switch for a wiring closet, and this was the entire instruction manual included with it.
More Engrish than WTF, but I thought someone else here might get a kick out of this. Photographed on a wooden table, of course.

VIII. "BI" light will enflame crimson on repairman.
Well, at least it warns you that you're about to be set on fire ...

I think that's why "I." seems to suggest calling in a priest to settle your affairs before starting.

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you the clabuttic translator.
There would be enough information there to be able to calculate what original language was, do a word-for-word swap to recover the original text, and then properly translate it into comprehensible english.

I didn't know the Order of Leibowitz was making POE switches these days.

no... and yet it still extracted the required facial expressions, so - good job!

Yes, I'm going to say that "G." for Roman numeral six is an epic WTF. You thought your font made lowercase ell and capital eye look too much alike, imagine what kind of font this poor Asian folks are stuck with.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, G, 7, 8, 9.
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

Explanation: somewhere in the proccess, it was handwritten as an arabic numeral. Someone mistook it for a "G".

Which would also account for the word "danage" in point "VII". It's always good when a theory is supported by additional data.

Alternative explanation: somewhere in the process, this list was scanned (possibly from a photo on a wooden table) and OCR'd, then pasted into a word processor with the paragraph numbering style set to Roman numerals; the OCR mistook the 6 for a G, so that paragraph didn't get numbered, but the person doing it didn't notice because as long as none of [1-9] appear then the style has clearly worked.
