Signs are a means of conveying information that is relevant to the general area within which the reader of the said sign is located at that very moment.
But it is equally true that the very thing that seeks to inform you might also seek to send a message that is questionable, comical, or trolly in nature, among other things. And hence you can’t ever be sure what to expect from a sign in the wild.
One thing’s for certain—folks in this dedicated Facebook group know for certain that the signs they see will be at the very least chucklesome and at most you might pop a lung from laughter. So enjoy!

Brilliant! This should be posted at every kid's ball field in America.
It should not come as a surprise—this is the internet—that there is a dedicated Facebook group focused on all manner of signs and signification. Well, all right, not all manner per se, but rather all funny manner.
Give Me A Sign, which currently boasts a fellowship of over 684,000 members, is a hub for various road signs, billboards, notes, plaques, storefront ads, license plates, and absolutely everything in between found in the wild.
Facebook’s stats claim that the group is quite active, clocking in at nearly 10,000 posts a month—at least that’s what happened in September alone.
I'm guessing that warning is for people who don't "do" cats + have no idea what cats can do! :)

I'm more likely to visit a business that has a cat verses one that doesn't!
I'm not only petting it, I'm planning to bring my cat carrier to my next appointment.

That's cause it's sleeping, might be horrible when awake 😂

I don't understand... isn't this the contract we have with cats?
That looks exactly like my mom's cat. He wanders off for days at a time and is some days more feral than others. I might need to start checking waiting rooms when she can't find him.
The cat came back the very next day... You know that song is over 100 years old?
🎶...and the cat came back, the very next day. We thought it was a goner, but the cat came back, it just couldn't stay away! .. 🎶
Litter box food and water aren't that much of a problem for just one cat.
I waited so long for an appointment I died and came back as a cat.........still waiting
🎵 The cat came back the very next day, the cat came back they thought he was a goner... 🎵
There's always a risk petting cats, not being able to stop, wanting to buy them toys, wanting to buy them food, taking them home....
They are fast. You may be stronger than them, but they will always be faster than you. Remember the deadly combos from Street Fighter, Tekken and Mortal Kombat? Cats can do that too but they do it much faster! In the blinking of an eye, you will find yourself bleeding from a deep cut which splits your eyebrow in half, a missing ring from an ear piercing and a missing piece of cartilage of the ear, deep cuts on both of your arms wich you could use for placing coins upright in them, a deep bite down to the bone of your index finger and a perfect circeled hole bitten through the nail of one of your thumbs.....Emma, I miss you and I will love you forever!
As mentioned previously, the group features a variety of signage that essentially includes anything with text and other kinds of symbolism on any surface found in a public setting.
Take this sentient vending machine. We can clearly see that it is a warning of sorts that this food dispensing store unit has a temper and you should pray to the gods to not deserve its wrath. Or just call tech support.
Or this sign, which is looking for a jazz drummer. You can practically hear all the tss tss tss’s. Or maybe it’s this very serious sign about upcoming repairs that was made hilarious because spelling is hard. You get the point.
The idea behind the page is to bring entertainment and joy through real world findings (of the sign variety) and sharing them with pals and strangers alike without it becoming a platform for political, religious or any other mind-encumbering debate. We just wanna scroll, man.
OK, mega geek time. Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols and their use and interpretation. It might sound pretty clear-cut judging by its definition, but that’s where the journey begins.
While its origins are humble, starting off as an academic endeavor, it evolved into an investigation of people’s behavior (anthropology and psychology), of culture and society (sociology and philosophy), moving into the realm of art (films, literature and the like), and even going so far as to become a consumer behavior and brand communication tool.
In other words, you might see a sign here and laugh. Or you might dig deeper and understand that there is an entire speculative context behind it: someone is a disgruntled employee, someone is a comma inquisitor, someone’s having marital troubles, or someone is just out there caring about the world.
And so you can now develop stories around these signs in your head, one up the joke and partake in the living organism that is a simple sign plastered on a store’s window, beckoning you to enter and to understand the epic level of humor the employees must have without even talking to them. But you’d like to, right? Makes you appreciate it even more.
Hamburger Helper helps your hamburger make a great meal. Or so I heard.
So, if you want to appreciate signs even more, keep on scrolling. Or visit the Facebook group yourself. Or, better yet, comment, share, hit that upvote button—spread the love and share some of your own stories of signs that make you feel good in the comment section below!
I wrote alternate lyrics about my dead goldfish to My Heart Will Go On when I was 12.
If someone is going to eat a customer they may not be that fussy about hygiene. They are probably just hoping for the opportunity.
Reminds me of how a friend used to answer the phone: D**k's Hotdogs! If you like hotdogs you'll looove D**k's!

In Winslow, Arizona. Car, likely reflection, but bird, really there.
Everyone has a different range to their sense of humor, just because something is dark doesn't mean the person supports the concept. Please take the humor for what it is and don't twist it to imply the person doesn't think the subject matter is serious. If we took every subject seriously there would never be any humor at all...ever...and that would make the world a truly terrible place.
But sometimes a joke is not a joke, it is a red flag and that is the beauty of freedom of speech, people can reveal themselves, then you know to avoid them, just keep talking and I'll keep walking, in the opposite direction.
