It seems like the world is permeated with busy-body signs and notices these days, telling you what to do and what not to do, where this is and where that is - they seem to know everything. But even these seemingly all-knowing guardians of our lives can get up on the wrong side of the bed and make complete fools of themselves.
Take a look at these absurd warnings and notices from the stupidest of the world's ubiquitous signs, then look again, shake your head, roll your eyes and laugh out loud at the most needless words that you have been fooled into taking seriously:
Signs are not always straightforward and clinical...
Often they will spell out every single aspect of something...
Even when it seems obvious...
Or even patronizing...
Sometimes they really treat you like an idiot...
As if you have no sense of decency...
And very little life experience...
That you are basically a child, afraid of the dark...
That you can't think for yourself...
They will try anything to guilt you...
But, often signs will argue among themselves...
Like many of us, they say things just for the sake of it...
They have strong opinions about small things...
Sometimes it seems like they are joking...
But they make every little thing seem serious...
Some signs spread conspiracies...
Some are quite useful - after the event...
Often when they are speechless they revert to 'sign-cliches'...
It's obvious they just want to tell you a story...
They attempt to make themselves seem needed...
Frequently signs will fight for the same turf...
They really are just like us...
