It's one thing to make an edgy joke when you're with friends, but completely next level to put it on a sign in public. Yet some people, including business owners, have both the wit and the courage to try it and pull it off.
Mocking rude past customers in order to attract new ones... Teasing current employees... Nothing is off-limits if you know how to go about it. And don't worry—your joke won't be lost even when you have to take down the sign. If it's really good, someone will surely take a picture of it and upload the image to the r/FunnySigns subreddit. With over 143,000 members, it's a catalog of some of the best signs, billboards, and warnings out there. Continue scrolling and check out some of its most popular posts to date.

Nice Old Lady
These signs definitely have a lot of personality. And it's precisely what people and businesses want from them. Sick and tired of chain culture slowly making all high streets look the same, many city shops are returning to handpainted signs. It's estimated that there are about 300 full-time signwriters working in the UK alone.
Very Clever
As young graphic designers and artists are making their way into the industry, signwriting enthusiast Sam Roberts said that: "This is a generation that has grown up with computers at the heart of their work and who are seeking to engage with the physical processes that go into producing letter forms."

The subreddit r/FunnySigns is an old one—it was created all the way back in 2012. With 143,000 members, it's neither big nor small. However, I feel that it's going to remain relevant. After all, people want to be individual, to stand out. And creating a good sign achieves just that.

Welllllll.....actually that sign is just not true. Condoms are not 100% effective and neither is any other form of contraception. So yes mistakes and surprises happen every day.
The mistakes most of the time are due To user error -especially condoms and any kind of pill.

Prostitution is legal somewhere in Nevada, I think.

But we wouldn't want to reduce their pleasure, would we? After all men don't get pregnant, they just tell us what to do if it happens.
My second was a surprise. Mainly because it took medical intervention with the first. Zero regrets!
I was on the pill & we used condoms...apparently my kid was really determined to be born! Lol! Although we didnt get a TV, we did get a Gamefly subscription. Gotta have something fun to do when you got 2 gamers stuck inside with a newborn in Jan, in New England! Lololol!
How on earth did you manage to make two methods fail?

But the positioning of the quotation marks has to be a mistake, yes?
Uhhh, or you were coerced, or raped, or your condom didn't function, or it wasn't used correctly, or your birth control failed, or you were not ovulating, etc. A baby is totally, often, a surprise.
Considering that one of my parents was told they were infertile AND they were using birth control, I was definitely a surprise
Check the back of those packages. It is not 100% efficacious... But then I suppose you could still somewhat expect it ;)
Best one! I just love the “ I don’t know how this happened!” Well, no condom, no oral birth control, you had sex without any protection. It just takes one sperm and one egg, and there are millions of sperm, and one egg.. who do you think is gonna win? Yeah... protect yourself.
Hey now condoms aren't 100% effective. And there are a couple people in my family who got snipped but their bits self repaired and they got preggers anyway. Sometimes babies are, in fact, a surprise.
My second son was a delightful surprise gift, a week before Christmas.
One time when i used a condom, it was on properly, it was not even near its expiring date, it broke. It just broke. I think we were lucky that im on the 3 month pil shot.
Because of our terrible sex ed education in the US, there ARE people who don't understand that using a condom properly generally results in zero pregnancies.
I always loved the phrase "we're expecting" when talking about pregnancy. It makes it sound like there's more than one outcome: "Yeah, we're expecting a baby but it's possible it could be a Polar Bear cub."
I gave birth to a diamond ring and a treasure full of gold. And a new phone.
Or if someone had a vasectomy or a bilateral tubal ligation but got a baby anyway?
and suppose I did use a condom and it broke? It may very well be a surprise then.
You can tell when they break so it wouldn't be a surprise then.

That has happened to me and you can tell when the fella takes it off. I took the morning after pill. I think people often forget this one is available for this kind of thing. In my country it is also offered to women who have been raped.

Well, surely it is universally required just not universally applied! Parents should do better by their children and not rely on schools - and schools should teach it just to make sure. Children deserve to have the knowledge to keep themselves safe.
