Sometimes you come across a street sign that states something so obvious, you wonder why the heck somebody decided to put it up in the first place.

They even took the time to manage a picture how it looks for if you WOULD try this lol
I work in a hospital and a teenager in the psych ward would eat coat hangers. Well, she'd straighten them and then feed them down her throat
Terrible as it would be I actually wanna see someone try to swallow this....
Oh wow, this one is definitely the best, especially with that pic to go with it!
Why is this one not No. 1??? That illustration alone ... worth more than a thousand words! :-D
no practicing sword-swallowing with a hanger....what about the other thing hangers have been used for? wouldn't want to see that visual aid
There probably was someone who tried this and then sued, so now they have to state the bleeding obvious.
straighten it out insert the tip of the coat hanger into the oral cavity, repress the gag reflex in the back of the throat, navigate a 90 degree turn down the pharynx, find the proper alignment into the esophagus, slide the hanger through the cricopharyngeus upper esophageal sphincter (UES), flip open the epiglottis so that the hanger goes into the glottal chamber behind the prominentia laryngea and the voice box, repress the peristalsys reflex, slide the hanger down the esophagus into the thoraxic chamber, between the lungs, nudge the heart slightly to the left, slide the hanger past the sternum and breast bone through the diaphragm, relax the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), slide the hanger through the lower esophageal sphincter and into the upper stomach, past the liver and kidneys, repress the retch reflex in the stomach, and insert the hanger all the way down to the duodenum.

I'm curious if someone thought that it would fit into their shoulders.... Lol
Someone's idea of a joke. To brighten up your day after you spend all your money on dry cleaning.
Yeah, I can totally see this happening before to neccessitate the sign. *sigh*
i'm bothered that one of the spikes is brown..perhaps someone has been sitting on the fence
In some places there are coral reefs etc. that do not like getting trampled on. This sign might actually make sense. Or if not coral, maybe just sharp rocks and things that would not be nice to stand on, at least with bare feet. Might not be a 100% stupid sign.
yes like falling to the guy who didn't catch you and love you? feels like you already dead.
Reminds me a little of the old Burma Shave signs (which were before my time, but still)
Yeah but does it come with a burger? After all it doesn't seem to be obvious if they have to point out about the cheese. I want to see "Cheeseburger with Cheese and Burger!" or none of this.
It's like when people ask, "what's the time?" I say "time to get a watch!"
This one is not so silly. Unfortunately, some people are so dumb as to try and pet these animals through the fence.
Its not a mirage...this sign has validity, I have driven in long barren country where your eyes can play tricks, and knowing this you could disbelieve them
Well i believe what this sign means is, the time limit for drop off is still not yet finished
Is this a people going up go on the left and people on the right go down? See them all the time
"Pardon me, my good fellow. Might I have a quick suck of your blood?" "No, thank you. The Travel Department has advised me against allowing it."
maybe at some point the water level rises... so they needed the sign (I'm still hoping, I guess...)
Not so silly, really. I have seen several times where people tryo get off before the train has fully stopped and fall flat on their face on the platform
this sign is fine, because we can say for example, you bought an item in japan but made of china
The overwhelming majority of the signs are there to protect someone from an overly litigious society. Its a shame that so many will sue for such stupid things, but it happens all the time. The rest of the signs are......well.......just plain worthless. ;D
Well in America you can sue basically anyone for anything. So i'm not surprised by some of these signs! Better safe than sorry 🙈
And it was like:"nobody told me the fire was hot,so I burnt my hand,not because I'm a moron,but because you let me do it" :)).and for this I will sue you only because I can...is that it? :)

Due to some political doofusness, our state department of transportation was required to get fancy signs for all of the rest stop toilets and urinals saying, "Do not drink from toilets or urinals: Non-potable water". Before all of the signs could be installed, more political doofusness required that all of the signs be removed. I now have one up on the wall in my living room because it makes me laugh.
Sadly, more and more people are needing these signs these days
I'm feeling a bit dizzy from shaking my head in disbelief so many times!
anyone else notice that the do not sit on fence has a strangely discolored spire right above the sign
#2 is just IKEA being silly - they are known to do that. #102 isn't obvious - Brazil nuts also grow in a few other countries.
Sign #82 is not a dumb sign. Not all sushi contains raw fish. Some have cooked fish, some just vegetables. Sushi is defined by the rice, not the embellishments.
Typicall r****d US s**t, like the rest of the world we dont need a sign yo "advise us" what too do. Order a coffe and you betta expect that coffe to be warm/hot o!"Or else stop living and just end your pathetic blood line,,,,,,,,,,,
I swear #7 is from the line for a ride called The Spider at the Lagoon theme park near Clearfield, Utah lol
Well, few of them are not completely crazy. Few of them are jokes/pranks (I hope). But mostly I think evolution should take over. Warn people about hot fire? For real?
