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'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!

Considering '2' is the largest number on the panel I would assume this is a hydraulic-ram style elevator which is both the slowest and probably the safest elevator type. If the max-height limit switch fails, the car will just sit at the top of its travel and excess hydraulic pressure will bleed back to the tank until the pump overheats and shuts off, or it will settle slowly down to its lowest position if anything else gives up.

Elevator will plunge into the basement or your floor if you are lucky.

Looks like the freight elevator I was stuck in for four hours at work one SATURDAY. I was 4 feet off the ground and could look out the little window to see my supervisor talking with the fire department while waiting for the elevator dude. A plus was I got the rest of the day off.

To be fair this is actually true, mine at home sometimes doesn't quite line up. One jump and it corrects itself.

Had an elevator like that in Casper. If it doesn't move get out and use stairs.

There was a series called 'This is going to Hurt' about a Doctor working in a Hospital, he found a heavily pregnant lady stumbling round outside and took her to a lift which was one of those that don't stop but move constantly and held her hand and asked her to jump into it! Just as if, this post brought that scene to mind.

I actually took an elevator where I had to do just that to get it started. It was an ancient elevator downtown Rome, circa victorian era (for you anglos) but likely designed at the times of Nero.

TBH, I have had a couple older machines in my life that needed to be given a light kick to get started or keep going, so I imagine this is an old elevator that works just fine and is completely safe, only you just need to shake it up a bit sometimes, by jumping up and down a couple times to get it going.

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.
