30 Signs That Turned Out To Be So Hilariously Absurd, People Had To Share Them With This Facebook Group (New Pics)
The Absurd Sign Project is a Facebook group that, as the name suggests, is dedicated to sharing photos of bizarre intentionally (and not) funny signs.
From pointing to Horneytown to warning about an invisible fence and advertising a definitely not haunted house, the group's 100,000 members stumble across all sorts of unexpected messages all over the world.
In a time when life can sometimes feel overwhelming, a lighthearted laugh might be just what we need to remember not to take everything too seriously. And this place can provide it.

That’s me, ok I’m the traditional older single lady with a cat but I’ve had cats since I was 8 years old. It’s not always just an old lady thing you know.

According to Signs & Lines, a company that has been making great signs for over 35 years, a good sign needs to be aware of these four critical things:
- Audience – a sharp focus on key users;
- Message – design, brand, location, and visibility;
- Environment – the sign's location and nearby architectural features;
- Function – durability, information, static or interactive.
Clearly, most of the signs we see in the pictures have ignored at least one of these aspects.

"Irrespective of the sign type the key premise of a sign is to convey a message," Signs & Lines wrote.
"Usually this is a relatively short, sharp communication. The number one task of any sign is to get a message across as quickly and effectively as possible."

I wouldn't normally do this kind of thing but having read this it always on my mind.
Business owners should remember that their signs are kind of a big deal. "Whether static or digital signage, your customers, users, guests, staff, students, and visitors need you to have good signage ... [because] it's the first visual connection with your company," Signs & Lines explained.
Good signs will:
- help them find your business;
- assist in their navigation of your organization;
- convince them that you are professional;
- assure them that they are in the right place.

When you go through the front door of a church you are usually at the back of the church. So, to get to the front door of the church from the front of the church you have to go back, but when you are outside you are at the front. Theology is really weird.

This kind of describes our family farm house. The loop around driveway came up right next to the back door / mud porch. The 'front" door / main entrance was on the side of the house. By design it was obviously the 'main' entrance by by common use the back door was the one mainly used.

I live in the same farmhouse! We had some fancy guests a few times so we welcomed them at the main entrance, but it does not make sense for daily use.

Sub-level coincidence: Gwinnett is named after a signer of the Declaration of Independence who was killed in a duel.

Button Gwinnett! Allegedly the owner of the most valuable autograph in history - supposedly his signature on the US Declaration of Independence is the only one still extant.

"Transitioning from good to great signage involves many different aspects of design including logo, creative, positioning, colors, and manufacturing ability," Signs & Lines added.
Once designed in detail, a typical sign may undergo a number of steps to achieve a high-quality result. These include:
- routering of materials to create precision shapes;
- fabrication of metals to form rigid structures and frameworks;
- spray painting of sign elements to automotive standards;
- graphics imagery to bring the messaging to life;
- illumination by LED or neon for 24/7 visibility;
- assembly of all components;
- installation on-site at height or in the ground.
Or, in other words, there are plenty of areas where they can fall short!

This really puts into perspective the reason there shouldn't be billionaires. In this case, you would need to make $360/hr 24 hours a day to become a billionaire, in 31 years. Now consider the richest people on earth, who have $200+ billion. If they started working at 15yo, and had amassed $200B by the time they were 78, that means they made $36,000/hr every hour of their life, for 63 years. That's more per hour than some people make in a year. However, Musk and Bezos can't pay there employees what they're worth.

Makes me think of when I was an assistant manager& had to hire people. I said I would take any warm body who could run a register, then figured I was limiting my possible applications.

Looks funny but probably very practical IRL. In the Philippines we (family who live in USA) bought bottled water and used that in our rental house / travels. Our local relatives often just drank the tap water. Their stomachs / digestive system was used to it. In one village the water was just hauled up from the river in 5 gallon buckets. Same water I watched water oxen walking in and women washing laundry in. But I guess that flows downstream and you ignore whatever might be happening upstream from you.
Benita Valdez 2 years ago
Ok but I can understand where they're coming from. Like you need to be super careful drinking tap water in Mexico and South America. I learned the hard way that I need to build a tolerance first with a few sips a day (I'm from US where most tap water is perfectly fine to drink)

I was super careful the first time I went to Mexico but got soooo sick. I think it was the ice from a small bar out in the middle of nowhere that got me.

Used the cup holder in my new vehicle. When I undid my seatbelt, it tangled with my coat and the cup. Poured coffee onto the console and shorted out the electronic gear shift and parking brake. Don't put a cup holder between the front seats.
