35+ Petty Signs That Made Us Laugh
Many firms realize that attention is vital since it is hard to get. People will sometimes do stupid things to get noticed, which can lead to funny signage. To their credit, social media users are always ready to snap a photo and publish it for us to enjoy, laugh at, and shake our heads at. These 45 signs will make you crack your ribs or cover your face.
Let’s Get Started With Some Math!
Have you ever stopped to consider why they require you to take math classes on a daily basis? You probably didn’t trust your math teacher when they told you that you will utilize math in everyday life, but here we are demonstrating that they were right. Do you wish to utilize the WiFi connection? First, you need to solve the mathematical problem, and then the first few digits of the WiFi password will be revealed to you. This ought to be simple for you, considering that you worked through a lot of mathematical equations while you were in school. Everyone ought to be able to handle it without any difficulty, right? A helpful hint: In today’s world, there are apps that, if you take a photo of the problem, will automatically solve it for you.
Putting The Blame
Is there nothing you can do that doesn’t end up going wrong? Do you consistently place the blame for your failures on yourself, whether they be at job or school? Placing that much pressure on oneself can’t possibly be good for their health. The vast majority of the time, it will leave you feeling helpless and embarrassed.
Putting The Blame
On the other hand, nobody can perform a better job than your parents. They have been in your life ever since you were a young child and have been quite good at making you feel embarrassed of yourself. They are the most skilled at it, so why don’t you just let the experts do it for you?
Just Show Up
Are you currently in the market for a new job? Have you been looking for one, but you haven’t been able to find one for which you qualify? You don’t need to search any farther. According to the sign, they have a job that demands the most fundamental thing possible, and that is for you to show up to work.
Just Show Up
It can be summed up like this. There is not a catch or anything else like that. Those who really show up to work should apply for the job. Do you believe that you’ll be able to pull that off? You can do that without a doubt. You do not require any sort of degree or other qualification. In point of fact, all you have to do is get up, head over there right away, and you’ll be hired.
Where’s Joe?
Everyone who works in a given space ought to have the impression that they are in a safe atmosphere, and this necessitates adopting measures to protect against becoming hurt on the job. It would appear that this was the situation at this job up until Joe took action that resulted in things changing.
Where’s Joe
The sign is an eye-catching and effective reminder to other people to uphold safety standards and take measures. Nonetheless, it does not provide satisfactory answers to a great deal of questions. You, too, must be wondering what exactly Joe did to get everyone so anxious that they felt the need to put up a sign to let people know what was going on.
Good Late Morning!
Those who enjoy getting up early are hard to come by; truly, who among us genuinely gets enough sleep in this day and age? Because the evenings feel much shorter, you have to take your time going to bed and remain in bed for a little bit longer if you want to obtain a good night’s sleep.
Good Late Morning!
As a result, it should come as no surprise that these gents open their shop slowly in the morning. They were forced to include a well-known phrase from Friedrich Nietzsche, of course. But Fred did say a lot of things that, instead of clearing things up, merely made things more confusing. For example, “Time flies apace, and we would fain believe that everything flies forward with it.” What in the world does that even mean?
No Lights Out
What is wrong with folks who walk away without turning the lights back on? Always make sure the lights are on; after all, don’t you want to be able to see what’s in front of you? When you really stop to think about it, the most horrific things take place when it’s dark. Because of this, it is always a good idea to leave the lights on, despite the fact that doing so will raise your electric cost.
No Lights Out
This eerie old house stresses the significance of that point even more. It is impossible for them not to be terrified of it during the day, so you can only imagine how much worse it is when it is nighttime. For the sake of everyone’s relaxation and comfort, it is strongly suggested that the lights be on at all times.
The “P” In Pool
On a sweltering afternoon during the summer, there is nothing more invigorating than jumping into a pool. But, all of us have been in situations where somebody has spoiled an otherwise relaxing and refreshing experience by emptying themselves in the pool.
The “P” In Pool
Did you know that when biological fluids mingle with chlorine, it results in the formation of compounds that cause the eyes to become red and itchy? Have you just gotten out of the pool and your eyes are all red? Yes, somebody took a leak. We are pretty sure that this is what prompted the proprietors of this pool to put up a notice letting people know about it. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that whoever reads this sign at the pool would think twice before relieving themselves in the water.
Mess Around And Find Out!
When receiving a caution, you are expected to take it seriously as it is standard operating procedure to do so. In that case, you have no choice but to accept the results without making a fuss. Caution: there have been bike thefts in the area, according to the warning. If you continue to ignore my warnings and keep your bike outside unattended, you will be solely responsible for its loss.
Mess Around And Find Out!
Oddly, the second sign advertises the sale of used bicycles, which leads one to wonder whether or not the bikes being sold are the same ones that were stolen. No way! They just provide people whose bikes have been stolen with the option to purchase reasonable used bicycles from them. The fact that they will only deal in cash may raise eyebrows, but it’s possible that this is merely standard operating procedure for the company, right?
Have You Got What It Takes?
Trespassers are a nuisance for everyone, which is why property owners typically have to take precautions to prevent people from entering their land without permission. Although some of them have dogs and others threaten to call the police on you if you trespass on their property, this particular one is rather fascinating. You are permitted to cross the intersection as long as you adhere to the instructions on the sign.
Have You Got What It Takes?
You are able to traverse the field, but you must do so at a speed that is greater than that of the bull. If you take more than ten seconds to respond, the bull is going to get to you, according to them. This seems like a fair challenge, and it gives the trespasser the option to either race the bull or take the detour around the property.
Watch This!
There is always one person in virtually every circle of friends who enjoys taking risks and pulling off crazy antics. Because of the possibility of accidents and injuries occurring while snow tubing, a warning sign like this one is required at each location that offers the activity. The vast majority of attempts at these stunts are successful.
Watch This!
Any person who begins a sentence with the words “Hey, y’all watch this!” is obviously about to do something that is fairly ridiculous (and probably dangerous), and it seems as though the people who own the business are definitely bored of it. If they overhear you repeating those words, you will find yourself in a completely new kind of difficulty very quickly.
Come Taste Our Bad Coffee
Every other coffee shop will constantly brag about how wonderful their coffee is and how it is of such high quality that it will keep you buzzing for the rest of the day. On the other hand, this business was more concerned with a review left by a female patron on Tripadvisor who stated that the coffee they served was the absolute worst she had ever tasted in her whole life.
Come Taste Our Bad Coffee
Are you intrigued to find out what she considers to be the worst cup of coffee she’s ever had? There is no need for you to speculate for very long. Simply walk on in and place an order for a cup. Curiosity is what drives the majority of people, therefore it’s likely that they’ll visit the place to see how terrible the coffee might possibly be.
Warning! Don’t Ask For Help
Phones have evolved into our preferred method of communication, and this includes making calls for assistance in times of need. Yet, if you wish to call and request assistance, according to this insignificant sign, you can experience some difficulty doing so because the phone isn’t yet installed.
Warning! Don’t Ask For Help
As a result, the sign will inform you that there is no need for concern in that particular location. Keeping your emergency on hold until you reach to a location from which you can contact for assistance when it actually occurs is the responsible thing to do, as you probably already know. We can only speculate, but we think this indicates that you shouldn’t engage in any activities that could put your safety in jeopardy while you’re in this
Lower Your Expectations!
Nothing is quite as disconcerting as going into a situation with great hopes and then being let down by the experience. Because of the way life is these days, it’s impossible to avoid being let down, and this restaurant has made the conscious decision to not meet your expectations.
Lower Your Expectations!
When you come in, they will tell you not to have particularly high expectations for the food, drinks, or service that they provide. After all, they are only human, which means they are prone to making mistakes. The sign makes us question whether or not they put any effort into preparing the food and beverages they sell. We are of the opinion that once your expectations are lowered, there is nothing that could possibly go wrong.
Push The Button
Have you ever pondered how to find a solution to a problem without getting into an argument with management? How about a glistening ruby button in the place of the customary suggestion boxes? We’ve seen in cartoons and movies that red buttons are the most dangerous buttons, but what could possibly go wrong with pressing a red button? A rat trap is the sole thing that the button is attached to.
Push The Button
If you come across this silly sign, it’s probably better to keep your concerns to yourself for the time being. No one has the time to listen to your complaints at this point. But, the red button will if you want to send a message to the other person!
In Need Of A Good Time?
What more effective technique could there be to attract more clients to a restaurant than by putting such a trivial sign? Restaurants employ a wide variety of marketing strategies. This might not be the best spot for you to have a good time if that’s what you’re searching for.
In Need Of A Good Time
If you pay closer attention, you will see that the purpose of this restaurant is merely to tempt you into meeting their flirtatious servers, who are just interested in obtaining that extra tip from you. The small sign also suggests that the establishment in question is a bar and grille. What a terrible shame. If you intend to throw a bachelor party, you should look into holding it somewhere else.
Read Me!
TikTok has become a phenomenon in today’s culture, and the app is teeming with conversations on a wide variety of dishes, recipes, and cuisines. It’s likely that this has resulted in an increase in demand for this eatery, as patrons now ask for dishes that they’ve seen on TikTok.
Read Me!
Someone must have finally had enough of their demands, since they decided to issue a petty caution to the customers in advance, advising them to avoid ordering any meals that were not on the menu. So, if we’re being serious, there should really be a waffle sandwich on the menu. It has a tantalizing odor!
The Comfort Of A Dry Floor
Shoes that do not have treads will be extremely difficult to walk in on wet floors. It is simple to lose your footing and fall, which can have disastrous consequences if it occurs in the restroom. It’s possible that the management got sick of people tracking dirt all over the place. Fortunately, they decided to do something about it and made a sign to inform customers that they should move closer to the urinal while they were using it.
The Comfort Of A Dry Floor
How kind and considerate of them! Hence, if you see a sign like this in the restroom, you should know that defecating on the floor is not permitted, as no one likes walking on wet flooring. This is because no one would appreciate having to walk on wet floors. In addition to that, show some compassion for the person who cleans.
What Did The Wise Doctor Write?
It’s common knowledge that doctors have such terrible handwriting that only pharmacists can understand it. Have you ever made an effort to decipher the note and figure out what it says? Because we have definitely read it, but we have no idea what it actually means!
What Did The Wise Doctor Write
When you look at this signboard, you ought to bring your pharmacist with you so that you may comprehend what the experienced physician written. Because the message appeared to be of such vital importance, the author was forced to alter the doctor’s text. Or is this note intended solely for individuals who are able to decipher the handwriting of physicians? We will never know the answer.
Which Is it?!
This poster is the single most obvious example of the problem with sending mixed signals. Patients and visitors alike can take advantage of the free WiFi, but we ask that you refrain from using your cell phone while you’re within the clinic. Where do we stand?! They had to decide one way or the other.
Which Is It
It used to be against the rules to use your cell phone inside of a medical facility since it interfered with radio transmission. But don’t we live in the 21st century and have access to modern technology? The most plausible explanation for this situation is that some of the patients were using their mobile phones in inappropriate ways, such as by playing loud music.
Down The Drain
Several diverse things have been flushed down the toilet by different people. Many of these objects have the potential to clog the pipes and drainage system of the toilet. This was the situation with this particular toilet; it appeared that individuals were flushing a wide variety of garbage down it.
Down The Drain
It is to everyone’s good fortune that those in charge did anything about it and posted this minor but instructive notice. The flip side of the coin is that the notice encourages everyone who uses the toilet to not give up on their ambitions and dreams by imagining themselves as flushing them away. What an incredible method for keeping people motivated!
Free Ride
FREE is the word that has been highlighted and capitalized in this sentence. Who wouldn’t jump at the chance for a free ride? The only thing left for you to do is steal from this store while you’re there. In addition, if you want your name to appear in a newspaper, shoplifting is the way to go about it.
Free Ride
You have the opportunity to select an item of your choosing and will not be charged for it. Consider how pleased your mother will be when she sees what you’ve accomplished. You get to choose one item, and in exchange, you’ll get to hang out with the authorities for at least a day.
Blind People Crossing
Any sign posted along a road is supposed to be seen by both the person for whom it was intended as well as anyone else who is using the route. A lot can be put into perspective by looking at this road sign. It serves as a warning to persons crossing who are blind. Should the drivers be vigilant about looking out for them?
Blind People Crossing
In addition, blind people are aware that there is a sign for them, right? Is there a braille imprint for them on the sign, and where can they find it? Is there a certain location for them to cross the street, or are they allowed to do so anywhere? There are a lot of questions, but not very many answers.
Keeping It Real
There is a significant number of jewelry businesses that display authentic watch posters on their front doors. These posters are an attempt to persuade potential buyers that the things that the company is selling are genuine. You may find, as a result of such indicators, that the watches and other things are priced marginally higher than they should be.
Keeping It Real
Why not try something different? This shop has made the decision to market what they refer to as authentic fake timepieces. Does anyone have any idea what this suggests about the watches and whether or not they are authentic? When it comes time to bargain for a lower price, the good news is that you may work the sign to your advantage.
Ready, Aim…
This little sign conveys its message in a manner that is both understandable and unambiguous. The management or the owner has communicated their intention to maintain a clean restroom, but they request your assistance in doing so. Aiming properly is the only thing you need to do when using the restroom.
Ready, Aim…
Thus, ensure that you hit the target no matter where you aim: high, low, or even slightly off to the side. The managers of this company must have seen a significant number of customers wandering about aimlessly in order to make the decision to post this sign.
Marketing Genius
When it comes to food, people are always looking for deals and discounts, and this restaurant came up with a fantastic approach to show its dedication to its consumers without incurring any further financial loss.
Marketing Genius
This is a unique take on the tried-and-true tactic of “buy one, get one free,” but with a few key differences. You are responsible for paying for the second pizza as well. This deal ought to entice clients from every nook and cranny of the city. It is hoped that the pizza will be worth the wait.
Children Or Zombies?
Parents eventually reach a point where they must give their children the freedom to make their own way to school. At this age, children enjoy doing so in groups very frequently, which may require them to cross the street on occasion.
Children Or Zombies
But exactly what is it that this sign is attempting to say? Is it trying to tell us that there is a pedestrian crossing for children in the area? Or are there undead children hiding in the shadows? If they are, it’s a good thing they’re not very big, not very fast, and not very difficult to get away from. In addition, we are not going to make any reference to the pig at all.
Seems Easy Enough
Ah, yes. Another one of those age-old issues in the restroom. What is it with folks that they can’t seem to use the restrooms properly? After all, everyone is aware that, in addition to flushing the toilet, it is customary to display a bit of cheekiness by baring one’s chest in front of the porcelain throne.
Seems Easy Enough
We can only hope that the person who uses this toilet next is also a reader and improves as a result of what they’ve learned. On a topic that is little more serious, I must insist to all of you that you must wipe your posteriors! It’s possible that someone has to have a spell checker installed on their computer.
Added Costs
Those who have had too much to drink will go to great lengths to break the rules when they go to a bar, and this is one thing that has become almost universally associated with bars. The good news is that this bar is accommodating, and the staff has gone to great lengths to offer a wide variety of ‘extra’ packages at reasonable costs.
Added Costs
The secret is to behave in a humble and decent manner, and you won’t be subject to any additional fees. Everything additional above and beyond that will cost a few extra dollars. Sincerity compels me to admit that this actually does appear to be the optimal solution to the problem of people being stingy and irritating.
Down The Stairs
As you make your way down the staircase, one of the things you least anticipate seeing is a signboard in the middle of it. Nonetheless, this indication makes you feel as though you should retreat a little bit. Taking the stairs seems like an easy option, doesn’t it?
Down The Stairs
In addition to that, what exactly does the sign say? As we make our way down the staircase, are they requesting that we keep a low profile and not draw too much attention to ourselves? Should you walk on your tiptoes to avoid making a scene, or has the man on the sign had one too many glasses of wine and can’t walk down properly? The owner of the property, who put up the sign, seemed to have had it up to here with the disturbances and loud steps made by inhabitants coming downstairs.
The Regulars’ Table
It is highly recommended that you read the signs that have been placed on each table in the restaurant before selecting a seat there. At least according to what the sign states, this table appears to have been cheekily saved for customers who are among the manager’s least favorite regulars.
The Regulars’ Table
It is a relief to see that these seasoned veterans appear to have accepted the petty sign with a positive attitude. Yet, maybe in the future the management will be more thoughtful and take more time to explore titles that are more suited for their tables.
We’re Watching
Finding a place to relieve oneself is one of the most soothing things that can be done. Whether you have been traveling for a long period of time or when you have consumed a little bit more than you had intended, the urge is much more pressing. But you won’t find a good place to relieve yourself in the wide outdoors at every crook and cranny.
We’re Watching
To dissuade you from emptying yourself at this location, the sign threatens to video the entire event and upload it to YouTube. Hence, if you want to become famous on YouTube right away, you should attempt relieving yourself in this location.
Need Help Opening This Door?
Aha! Very very useful. Have you ever attempted to open a door that requires you to push it in order to open it or the other way around? Isn’t it a little bit embarrassing? Therefore, it should come as no surprise that a pull door will be utilized in the event that a push door is ineffective.
Need Help Opening This Door
On the other hand, in this scenario, it’s possible that pulling or pushing on the door won’t make it open. Why would something like this happen? A clue is that the entryway is not in that location. You just need to move on to the next handle, and it will most likely perform the action you want it to.
The Perfect Employee
Employers will invariably request complete dedication and collaboration from their staff members at all times. This essay sheds light on how one could break down these expectations over the week and provides examples to illustrate this process.
The Perfect Employee
An 11% increase on those tedious and monotonous Mondays, a 24% and 40% increase on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, a 23% increase on those boring Thursdays, and a 2% increase on Fridays to bring the total for the week up to 100%. We had a feeling that those math classes would come in handy someday!
The Destroyer
There is no shortage of petty posts that have been posted near restrooms; yet, given that facilities seem to attract the rudest of individuals, here is yet another one. This post suggests that whoever used the restroom most recently should go to the doctor.
The Destroyer
Whoever wrote the message might have had the impression that whatever was left behind was abnormal or unhealthy. Thankfully, it appears that the workers there have access to a high-quality and all-encompassing health insurance plan.
Don’t Be Catty
A proverb states that whereas dogs have owners, cats have servants. We have all heard this adage. Everyone who has ever owned a cat is aware of the fact that this statement is entirely accurate. This sign caused us to roar with laughter because, if we’re being completely forthright, it’s just so appropriate.
Don’t Be Catty
Cats aren’t troubled by other animals or people since they always do what they want when they want to do it. They behave exactly like rebellious adolescents who ignore the text messages sent by their parents. Oh, so that’s what you mean when you say someone is genuinely being catty.
Stating The Obvious
You will have a difficult time finding someone who has never had what is known as a “brain freeze” event in their life. You are aware of the topic we are discussing… When you suddenly realize something that has been obvious all along. It is likely that this is what took place with this sign.
Stating The Obvious
It goes without saying that you want to ensure the safety of those who are driving, particularly when the roads are wet. But, it seems like it would be nearly more dangerous to put up a sign that will have a driver facepalming that it’s wet to drive while it’s raining.
Color Me Allowed
When working on the interior design of a home, it is critical to ensure that all involved parties are content with the choices that are made. If you are married, however, you are well aware that at the end of the day, your wife has the last say in all that is decided.
Color Me Allowed
The fact that this is true gives the sign an even greater sense of humor. Not only is it accurate, but the management of the store has undoubtedly had to deal with a few dissatisfied wives returning paint after their husbands made a rash decision without consulting them.
We Don’t Mow About This
Look around you; the world is full of unusual statements and messages that might be very bewildering. Nonetheless, this is without a doubt one of the strangest indicators that we’ve come across. The primary reason for this is that we are unable to fathom the motivation behind somebody mowing a rock feature.
We Don’t Mow About This
Is this a problem that they have been having trouble with and they thought it necessary to alert the garden service about it? Was there a patch of grass here at one time? If that’s the case, then why not just take the sign down? We have so many questions. It is abundantly clear that we will not be receiving any answers.
On The Fence
The majority of people would probably agree that the typical notice that warns visitors not to step on grass already goes beyond what is acceptable. The person who owns this fence has made up their mind that they do not want anyone to sit on it. But, there is something that they appear to have overlooked.
On The Fence
The fleur-de-lis toppers on the fence seem like they have sharp points on them and have the potential to cause significant damage. Who in their right mind would even consider sitting on anything like that, sign or no sign? Oh well, just in case you were thinking about it, I strongly advise you not to!
Be Very Afraid
Are you interested in the early warning signs? Are you uncertain as to how dangerous a risk can become? This sign lays it all out for you, and it probably causes travelers to run screaming in the opposite direction. What could possibly be worse than being in excruciating pain while simultaneously facing an unfathomable end?
Be Very Afraid
Even if you are not terrified of dying prematurely, you should at least be worried of being seriously injured; therefore, it is preferable to stay away and heed the warning. The potential danger and the consequences were made very obvious by the individuals who were responsible for putting up this warning.
Conflicting Meanings
When we are finished writing something, we are instructed to read it over after we have completed it for a purpose. The explanation can be found in this sign. It demonstrates how simple leaving out a word or a punctuation mark may completely alter the significance of the message.
Conflicting Meanings
Even though Debbie most likely does not want to tie up girls with long hair (at least, we hope she doesn’t), we can’t help but laugh at it. Ladies with long hair, please pull your hair back or risk having Debbie do it for you.
Every Drop Counts
Everyone enjoys taking their sweet time while they are in the shower. After all, it’s a peaceful time when you’re by yourself with your thoughts, and the brightest ideas keep coming to you nonstop throughout that time. Sadly, taking long showers causes a significant amount of water to be wasted.
Every Drop Counts
The people who designed this poster had the intention of bringing people’s attention to the significance of preserving each and every drop. However, the design of the sign turned out to be in bad taste… Oh, oh. Someone ought to put another money in the jar designated for cussing.
In Case Of Emergency
The employees who work in amusement parks and fairgrounds are used to hearing the occasional request from an upset youngster or a sick adult to get off of a ride that spins rapidly. It would appear, however, that the person responsible for creating this rollercoaster has had enough of those made-up emergencies.
In Case Of Emergency
This attraction is not for those who are easily frightened, according to the sign that was placed at its entrance. Take your problems elsewhere, where they will be heard by someone who genuinely cares, because the people who work here don’t give a damn about them at all.
No One’s Doormat
Warning to the people who live in this town: The neighborhood was being ravaged by a brand new gang of highly talented ninja robbers. Many have complained that their priceless doormats were taken from their homes in broad daylight by a group of elderly women who appeared to be harmless.
No One’s Doormat
Happily, it appears that the homeowner who was affected is not demanding an excessive amount of justice. In all seriousness, all they want is their doormat back. We can only keep our fingers crossed and hope that these heartless women will have the decency to give back the cherished item that they stole… They are, in fact, too old for something like this.
No Venti For You
Because Starbucks is without a doubt one of the most popular coffee businesses around, it would appear that the terminology used by Starbucks has become the norm in the industry. But, it would appear that the staff at this coffee establishment is becoming tired of people asking for a grande.
No Venti For You
You could try ordering a “Hutlh,” which is what it’s called in Klingon, or a “Argelay,” which is what it’s called in Pig Latin, but that’s not going to get you very far in this shop unless you really just ask for a “Large” coffee.
