The 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!

    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
