Nobody just builds a sign because it looks good. If that was the case, we’d probably have paintings and photographs on display on the roads.

Whether it’s a sign with an advert or a road sign, it’s there because it has a message to say. These bits of info become quintessential in moving around places, knowing what you’re allowed to do and, more often, what you're not, or being aware of the direction you’re going. But what if the signs fail to do what they are supposed to?

That’s how they end up on one of these Facebook groups: Stupid and Weird signs or Really Bad Signs. Both communities provide pure entertainment that shares anything from road and shop signs to street and public signs that have something off about them. Sometimes it’s a spelling error, other times it’s a unique message, so I leave the stage to them. Scroll down and upvote your favorite ones!

    I think people would pay better attention to signs if they were more like this

    Amazing! China has a very similar sign in Tiananmen Square, proclaiming that nothing happened there in 1989. 🤔

    I have a refrigerator magnet almost exactly like the above sign. We bought it at a tourist attraction (I can't remember where) that had the same sign hanging there.

    There's one of those signs on the door of the original house my husband's family lived in when they came to from England in 1907 (His father was 10) Maybe this year I'll knock & tell them that "Something Exciting DID happen 10 years later!!!

    That would be a sign from The Clampers! They party a lot and take care of "widows and orphans" (them being their wives and children)... fun group of people!

    Are they so sure though? Something may very have happened there in 1897. Maybe something happened to the town recorder on that site in 1897.

    I've already bottled mine up, does that count? Or should I leave the bottle in the vehicle too?

    If you actually end up in Boston, or London Heathrow, it will be unexpected!

    I assume it means that it's on the hour not the half. Like it's 10:00 10:20, 10:40, instead of like 10:10, 10:30, 1050

    I'm guessing the person responsible for this sign was the one who wrote the ad lol.

    I doubt this is a legitimate sign. I think it's more likely photoshop. Something about the "Michael Bolton" image looks off, particularly around the edges.
