Making a sign is a great way to share your thoughts with the world. Well, at least most of the time. Anyone who engages in creative writing knows that there are many ways to mess up your text. Whether it's grammar mistakes, overly complicated words or nonsensical sentences, getting the message across might be harder than you think.

There's an online community dedicated to specific phrases that just don't make any sense. The subreddit is called Don't Dead Open Inside and according to the moderators, it's a place for "signs/media that read as nonsense if read normally: from left to right".

Bored Panda has collected the most ridiculous examples on this subreddit that will make you scratch your head. Scroll below and check them out yourself! And if you still feel the unexplainable desire for more, you can read our previous posts here and here.
