Ridiculous Signs in Public

Best Safety PSA

• These days, it doesn’t take a lot to be famous. Most PSAs rose to fame because they were posted online. A few years back, the “Fast and Furious” kids got famous because of a video.

• These PSAs are there to protect drivers on the road. However, once in a while, there will be that one person who is in more of a hurry than everyone else. This particular sign is especially for those people who can’t seem to have a heavy foot.

Going viral

• This may not be a part of the culture in other parts of the world, but in some places, places of worship may have signage outside of their buildings. This is typically used to announce any events or if there is an exciting guest speaker coming.

• All you need to do to get famous is reach a large audience very quickly by receiving an unusual amount of shares and exposure. It doesn’t matter what for. You could be saying some controversial stuff or falling headfirst into mud. When your video hits millions of views, you can bet you’ll end up on a daytime talk show at the very least. What a fulfilling life!

Use electricity wisely

• Nowadays, people opt not to hire help to clean the house. Why would they when the Roomba exists? This feisty little robot cleans every nook and cranny in the house without you having to lift a finger. But sometimes, it has a mind of its own.

• With the rising effects of climate change and global warming, many people encourage others to do their part in minimizing their carbon footprint more than ever. It takes the message to a whole new level. At least, they truly practice what they preach.

Over, not under

• People can’t seem to agree on the correct manner to place the bathroom tissue on the wall. They have an interesting take on this issue, comparing the two ways. But at least, there is a PSA out there about this particular matter.

• This workplace’s attempt to bring some lightness into an otherwise heavy situation. Many of these places have an accident count to keep track of. The higher the number of days since the last accident, the better.

Directions

• Satnav is an important part of everyone’s lives, even though not everyone realizes it yet. At some point in their lives, businesses, schools, and personal individuals will have benefitted from their local use. But even then, these still need to market effectively to go beyond their recurring customers.

• The proprietors of this land are probably familiar with people passing by, looking around for signs of life. That’s probably why they put up this sign because they know there’s a dead end ahead. This is a useful sign, though. Imagine if it weren’t there.

No emergency phone

• Yellow signs are there so that people know to avoid the area or walk it carefully lest they slip and fall. They’re only meant to be there after janitorial services have just mopped or after something spilled on the floor.

• This sign would have been pretty innocent, but the second half is what makes it ridiculous! The sign suggests that calamities are events one can plan for and bet on happening!

Don’t tap the glass

• This place is smart to put up this sign, as it warns guests of the evil schemes that may be going around. They do so in a creative way, too, as it doesn’t merely warn you not to touch. It engages the reader of the sign, especially this plot twist!

• Okay, yes, these won’t suddenly erupt in fury when the window is touched. But using the same concept as zoos and aquariums in order to stop customers from touching is a pretty creative way to do it. Also, imagine a cookie apocalypse.
