Sign of trouble! These hilarious notices will leave you more confused than informed

ou would hope that a public sign would be able to point you in the right direction.

But these hilarious signs have not only left social media users completely lost, but have also given them something to laugh about.

The Reddit group Funny Signs has gathered together a gallery of some of the wacky notices that have been spotted around the world.

One of them undoubtedly spoke to the insecurities of the younger generations, making sure they knew to escape a building that was on fire before tweeting about it.

Meanwhile another gloated at drivers sat in traffic, informing them that being late was inevitable, before adding a 'haha' on the end.

Some of the signs have made people laugh by stating the obvious, with one sign giving a warning about sand on a road flanked by desert.

Others have just been completely wrong, pointing people in the wrong direction.

In some cases, the letters may have dropped off the sign or have been inconveniently hidden to give it another - more amusing - meaning.

And others seem to have no purpose, with one sign telling people not to read it 'under penalty of law'.

Absolutely.

I also like the “No. Frikken Way” sign. Cool name for a road.

We have a local short drive that goes to the lake, and at the end it says “Dead End”- People kept writing “No (swear word)” on it - it’s not there anymore-

Yesterday I was filling out a federal jury form. It is required by law to fill this out for federal jury duty. In technical writing they tell you to never use the word “not.” For one thing, people tend not to see it. They just see the rest of the sentence. For another it can be misleading. I get to a question that is single sentence about fifty words long with several commas and it contains “not.” I read the thing several times and had no clue what was being asked. The next question was similar but on a different topic. A really simplistic way of reading one of them was, “are you “not” taking care of elderly parents?” Then you throw in the parenthetical clauses. I phoned a friend, and we went over the questions. Finally, he said, “You know, all the previous questions were answered with no. I’d go with no.”

I think you have to multiply yourself by the speed of light squared to get to energy - not real sure what happens to you if you just multiply yourself by the speed of light to the first power. yeah, it’s a good sign, but sometimes you just have to be pedantic.

Pity the folks who live on South Fricken Way and are constantly being asked for directions!

I use the fire sign as a PSA when I start my first class of the term
