That's a good sign, certainly not a c**p sign. I shall always respect the Authoritree!!!
Plants love ashes. I got avocado in big pot. It's was not growing so we used pot like a ashtray. And now that plant is bigger than me 😂
Imagine you're standing next to a building and people start throwing trash and burning cigarettes at your feet.
I plugged in the url to see if it was an actual page - and it is! lol! Here's what it says: Steps to learn how to drive your big stupid car you dumb f*ck: - Try not to hit any kids while driving to a car lot - Sell your big stupid car - Use public transit to navigate to a bicycle store - Purchase a bicycle - Learn how to ride a bicycle
Oh my god that's perfect. I f*****g hate big stupid cars. I mean, I'm no saint, I have a car, but those big stupid cars are just gratuitous and antisocial.

It's in the UK where those are exceedingly rare, it should say "Chelsea tractor".
Load More Replies...As an owner of a big, stupid car (we live in a very rural area!) this made me laugh 😂😂😂
Looked the url up, steps are: Try not to hit any kids while driving to a car lot Sell your big stupid car Use public transit to navigate to a bicycle store Purchase a bicycle Learn how to ride a bicycle
My mum shared a story once, at the beginning of Pokémon Go. Their house has a private road that runs behind it, where everyone on the terrace can park. It isn't well maintained, mostly because every time they try to organise something, at least half the block won't stump up - they'll happily use the road, but pay for it's maintenance? The horrors! Anyway... My point is everyone drives slowly on it because it's narrow and poorly maintained. It is also used by the local school kids since it's safer than the main road. On this particular day, a schoolkid was Pokémon Going his way along the street, and round the (blind) corner at the end of the block. My mum was driving up the street, and came to a complete stop. Not just so she wouldn't hit the kid, but she wanted to see what he would do. He walked straight into the car. Literally right into a stationary vehicle. It's ridiculous.

This is a terrible problem. We need to start talking about this more. I was behind a young teenager as we were crossing a busy street in a crosswalk. while we certainly had right of way, it is an odd intersection with multiple streets and cars turning onto the main road. This kid was walking slowly through the intersection while reading his phone and a car turning right almost plowed right into him. He had absolutely no idea until i yelled at him to watch out.
I like the Victorian campaign to stay alert around trams and not look at your phone Screenshot...2f-png.jpg
It should say "Beware of smartphone idiots." Another example of why we have "Do not eat the soap* labels on Tude Pods containers.
Unpopular opinion, but graffiti should be removed. Graffiti ruins cities, as well as small businesses. My dad's business, and tons of others, have been messed up numerous times by so called "street artists." It's not even our business. It's our house too. If you vandal lovers want to ruin walls, then go do it in a place designated for that. Don't mess up businesses because you want your art to be seen by like 3 people. Thank you.
If you guys support vandalism, that's fine. Please don't downvote me because of my views. I would like to engage in a civil debate.
Load More Replies...It was obvious done by a dumb suburban kid, but up around my job, some little twit thought he was SO clever by using black spray paint to cross out the 'not' on a do not enter sign, and also to very sloppily try to make a 30mph speed limit sign look like 80mph... That particular one was mostly washed off, but clearly not well enough. My car has a feature that will read road signs and project the speed limit on the windshield along with other relevant info. After passing the sign one evening, it projected 80mph as the speed limit on an unlit, winding road. I chuckled at the stupidity of it, tho when I told a client at my job whose husband owned a Tesla, she informed me that if that had happened while in self-driving mode, it likely would have caused the car to speed up towards 80mph and undoubtedly sent it careening off an embankment into a river. Graffiti kills, kids! Stop pretending to be Banksy with road signs and go learn something.
Still, for cruise speed limits most self driving software relies on sat data and online stuff for main ways and roads. The reading thing is for uncharted roads, but there self-driving cars still prompt the driver to take control.
Load More Replies...Graffiti should be intentionally planned (Artistic? Beautiful?) if it’s for public use.
Counterpoint: graffiti has been with us since at least Roman times (there's graffiti in Pompeii; I expect lots of earlier stuff too, I just don't know about it) and where it's survived, it is a very valuable part of the historical record. Vernacular culture has it's own value.
Load More Replies...OK one person's art is another person's graffiti. Fine. If these imbeciles consider their *work* to be art then why don't they spray it all over their own houses?
Noncommissioned public art. Some of it brilliant, some of it c**p. Lots in the middle. Allow/support it and you’ll get better stuff
Because, in the UK (where this is) it is an offence to disturb bats, and their habitats (even if in old buildings) are protected.
Load More Replies...*opens door to get a baseball bat* oh! S**t. S**t. S**t. 🦇 🦇 🦇 🦇
Yes... yes, I'd wager it is because someone had an accidental airborne snack...
Load More Replies...Happened to a friend of mine. Bird pooping, wind, a wide open mouth in amazement…
Friend got bombed by a seagull at a sports game and it was liquid enough that some of it flowed down his cheek to his open mouth 🤢
Load More Replies...I like that the bird poop is in the shape of a swirl rather than the splatter-raindrop shape it really is
A co-worker and I were going to a trade show in Atlantic City. I was hustling to the door, head down because gulls were hovering, and I spent a lot of time at the beach, so I knew better. My co-worker had never seen them so he was looking up and said "Wow, look at all those birds!" At the word bird, one took a dump into his open mouth. It was epic.
Winston Churchill trained his pet budgie to poop on other ministers in parliment.
Does the laughing cue the birds to poo? Is this some weird Pavlovian response?
I think they are saying that you shouldn’t have your mouth open wide, because a bird may poop in it.

good news! You're through! Um. Now, you're in the future...
Load More Replies...I upvoted you, Isa. I know it seems like people in this thread are encouraging suicide, but I would argue that sometimes, dark humour is a great coping mechanism. I also think it's important to be able to vent, because it releases pressure. So no, encouraging suicide isn't good, but I don't think that's what's happening here. Hope that made sense?
Load More Replies...From Google Translate: Please, it is dangerous from here, so please do not go any further. The future is dangerous Don't go any further Please.
They would have been cheap if it wasn't for those pesky lobster prices.
So many people complain to the store about the prices when they don't consider that the entire supply chain behind that store has increased prices.
*wades through bush to read the rest of the sign* DO NOT Stand in the Middle of the Bush!
Now I'm completely rethinking Train's song "Meet Virginia "sounds like Weird AL GOLD
I knew a carpenter whose motto was, "I may not be good, but I'm slow." 😂 Actually, he was fast and talented but it was an eye catcher.
I've told my boss this so many times at work only for them to say they want both!
In my experience moderate pace and adequate work is better than quick work and correcting mistakes.
Load More Replies...This is the logo for the Ministry of Silly Walks.
Load More Replies...I’d really like to see someone use the stairs like this person just once
When in Aldi remember - If your baby is over 130kgs, he must walk.
"Awwww what a cute baby" "Thanks he's a Quarterback in his daycare team"
For us Americans, that's about 287 pounds, 861 bananas or a starting NFL middle linebacker.
287 is big for a linebacker. Most likely an offensive or defensive interior lineman.
Load More Replies...That's so British people will know how many cans of beans they are allowed to put in their cart. Doing the math - it's about 318 cans. /J
So that's about thous... 1200... 1284... err 1283 bananas?
Load More Replies...I always FEEL like, some spuddy's waaaatchin' meeee! (And I got no pri-va-cy!)
They told him life was important - he had people depending on him, the pressure was too much.
But the sign says...*standing in the middle of a mess of smashed eggs* Now, where's my money!?
That would be lovely, but it seems unlikely.
Load More Replies...If an empath takes all three of these paths would that be an empathpathpathpath?
Only reason to put up this sign is because someone hung items from the red pipes
Right, only in America do they have lying politicians. Ever hear of Boris Johnson? Enough with the constant America bashing. People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Okay so back in college the school gates would say Gate Open 7am-10pm. Student vandals kept changing it to Gate Poopen so many times that they finally changed the signs to Gate Closed.
As a kid, me and my sister used to add 'I' to all the 'to-let' boards. We especially carried chalk for this.
Load More Replies...It would have made better sense to read "...pool AREA".
Load More Replies...But maybe the picture is taken from the right wall facing the left wall so if you are walking in the direction the arrow points you need to keep to the left which is against the wall the sign is on.
I've never seen someone try to deposit more than one cow at a time...
And then appears a big fat catbus and smashes the bike into pieces 🐱🚌
Load More Replies...Cats would rip up the sign and then pee on it.
Load More Replies...Why do I have to tolerate other people's cats s******g and pissing in my garden, but when my horse is in their garden, they throw a fit?
Because your 'horse' is a reindeer, and it's not alone, and I don't care who you are or what time of the year it is, fatso, get it off my roof and that stupid sleigh as well.
Load More Replies...I hate when owners let cats outside to roam in other people yard. I get it, cats are all a******s but the owners don't have to be a******s too.
I like how you think that we humans "let" our cats do anything.
Load More Replies...I can picture half a dozen alley cats dozing in amongst the veggies like they just don't care
And you think cats will change their behaviors once they read this sign?
I wasn't aware that cats grazed. I'm picturing a herd of cats, slowly munching on a field of catnip, meowing while the bells on their collars softly tinkle.
it sounds like one of those really bad translations from Chinese. Something being lost in translation has a tendency to make for some really funny signs out there. But points for at least trying.
My brain's going to explode reading this sign. It desperately needs punctuation or something.
If the machines are in heat, will they make little machines that produce mini-shakes and ice cream?
Not exactly sure what heat treat is, but it sounds good.
Load More Replies...Hope fully the milkshakes machine found it’s elusive mate, we thought sloths had it hard
I miss-read as "snakes" and wasn't worried about the machine-in-heat threat.
Machines in heat????? Didn't know that they were emotional............
Brick wall identifies as luscious privet, you monster.
Load More Replies...Privet means hello, greetings in russian (from the little I remember from school, it was more than 30 years ago).
We sill farst cliss stemps ond socind cliss stemps.
Load More Replies...hmm this typo is plausible here (Africa), most people use only five vowel sounds: uh, eh, ee, aw, oo. Anything else is approximated. So, "staff" is pronounced and often written "stuff" because that's how we say it. So "stemp" is plausible.
stemp - the combination of a step and a stump. It is usually sticking out of nowhere and is a nice place to sit. The most ideal stemp would be found in a naturally occurring staircase made out of tree roots. - urban dictionary
I personally love stemps :D do be careful though they will lure you into stemping everything possiblr to stemp
I am legit disabled and I quote this with my husband on a regular basis. Possibly the best episode imo.
Load More Replies...Yes. And they're separate from the disabled (and women) so they can't do stairs because... I guess, too drunk.
Load More Replies...It's part of the onboarding process to test each candidate for stairworthyness.
Load More Replies...So the two fellows who cannot use stairs, women, or disabled persons are the only ones allowed to use this restroom. Got it.
The top one actually is supposed to say Boiling Water Instant Noodles
...and there it is, the example of bad translation of a Chinese sign, as I mentioned in a previous post.
Great song by the late great Frank Zappa: "Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?" off of his album Joe's Garage everyone should listen to right now.

God, I wish we'd do that here in the US. Would be SO helpful, for SO many...
Load More Replies...Someones wifi network name in my apartment complex is "it burns when IP"- we also have "tell your WiFi need my pants back"
Funny as this is, I needed context. The area code 01622 is for Maidstone, Kent, which does apparently have a suburb called Loose. I'd like to think that there is some historical reason for this name that has been corrupted over time but, let's face it, the UK has stupid place names everywhere.
Postal code of Buckingham Palace is SW1A 1AA, if anyone needs for research purposes.

The one about the potatoes reminds me of a fellow Amateur operator who had a parts store in his basement. On the shelf where he had dozen of jars of transistors was a sign, "The tubes are behind you".
Very funny signs. I wish some of the signs I see around me were like this.
