50 Signs So Ridiculous They’re Actually Brilliant, As Spotted By People Online (New Pics)
Interview With AuthorThe purpose of a sign is simple: to inform, promote, or spread awareness. Ideally, it should be clear and easy to understand. But as we all know, humans aren’t exactly the most logical creatures, so their attempts at creating a good message can sometimes go hilariously wrong.
To show you exactly what we mean, we’ve rounded up some of the funniest examples from the Facebook groups Really Bad Signs and Stupid and Weird Signs. Check them out below, upvote your favorites, and don’t forget to tell us which ones made you laugh the hardest!

This sign needs to be put up in every store, bus stop, telephone pole,...
I would really like to know if the statistics change if you have to pass through the baby section to get to the condoms.
Cheap alternative to adding to the world's disastrous overpopulation problem
not unlike a $15 parvo shot vs a $1500 vet visit. Common sense should prevail
I see the nappies come with a Money Back Guarantee. What about the condoms?
Smart! (If you're not actually trying to have kids, that is lol)
Need to be extended with figures that show what the cost of college will be in 18 years and the cost associated with hosting a wedding.
Similar to having period products next to baby supplies, as in a local supermarket. Message to women of reproductive age: “If you don’t need these (pads, tampons, etc.) then you might need these soon (nappies, bottles, etc.)
Fascinated by the hilarious appeal of these photos, Bored Panda reached out to Michael Jenkin, one of the admins of Stupid and Weird Signs, to learn more about the group.
Michael shared that he originally joined the page as a regular member. “There were already 100,000 members, but the admin was reluctant to add moderators,” he explained. “It was like the Wild West with bad and inappropriate posts. Eventually, Facebook shut it down after several warnings. I liked the concept and the friends I’d made in the group, so I decided to start it back up.”
At first, some members mistakenly assumed Michael was the original admin and sent him angry messages, asking why they had been removed. “Of course, the group itself was deactivated,” he clarified. “Feeling that the original group was taken down due to a lack of supervision, I immediately looked for people from the old group to help as admins.”
“On day one, people volunteered, and I added admins without knowing them,” Michael said. “By day two, members were messaging me and quitting because one of the admins went on a ridiculous power trip. By day three, I was already banning and blocking that admin. I don’t understand why some people think being a Facebook admin is a position of power. Anyone can create a group—admins are not special.”
Learning from that experience, Michael reached out to friends and family to help manage the group. “I also use a lot of Facebook tools to keep the group within Facebook’s guidelines,” he shared. “There has to be a balance between letting people have fun and not going overboard or offending others. Unfortunately, admins have to rely on their personal sensitivities and judgment to maintain that balance.”
“We’re not always right, and we do make mistakes,” Michael admitted.
I don't know about the rest of you who have had children but that's definitely how I carried my son to the bathroom when he had launched chemical weapons...
Ingredients: protons, neutrons and electrons. Photons not included. May be present: gravitons
Do I have to bring them by during certain hours or can I drop them off anytime?
My Dad was rather paranoid on my first visit after I'd had to switch to a gluten-free diet. He went around his local supermarket and seemed to have bought every single item that said 'gluten-free'. I did ask if he'd managed to get gluten-free water, and gluten-free apples. He was ready to run back to the shops to get them. :oD
The sign has been amended. The door is actually on the ground floor and round the corner, the sign now reflects that. Kent-Medwa...c5-png.jpg
Boy, #50 is absolutely dead perfect for an Absurd Hilarious Signs post! BP's greed pretty much killed my interest in visiting months ago, but this is probably going to be the last straw. die-bp-die...d3d66c.jpg
I was at the airport in Denver and the bathrooms had a sign that had a man,woman,child and alien and said Whatever lOL
I used to love BP, but Premium has killed it, and no new posts for days, weeks on end....bye bye.
Or a fairly good representation of how people feel 'out there'.
