Signs play a crucial role in our daily lives, guiding us safely through various situations. Whether on the road, at work, or in public spaces, they serve as essential tools for communication and safety.
Turns out, they can also mislead us in a very funny way. The Facebook group 'Useless, Unsuccessful, and/or Unpopular Signage' is full of poorly made, dumb, and downright stupid signs gathered from around the world.
Fun is the name of the game! We have curated a brand-new collection from the group's best finds, so let's have a blast!

Where I live dog walkers often through bags of poo on our doorsteps, why do people think it is ok to pee outside someone's home or leave poo there.
Marleina Hershberg 2 years ago
Saw an ignorant neighbour allow her dog to urinate on our personal 'do not park here, will tow' parking spot cone yesterday, so Isanitized it and then mixed up a cocktail of things I googled dogs hate and "treated" the cone and area around it to determine the dog from wanting to approach it, let alone pee on it. My husband touches that cone with his hands to move it; put it in the car while it is parked. Who knows how many times he unknowingly had dried dog p**s on his hands?

This sign has a wonderful purpose. Think of all the body parts that went unharmed.

Mild electrocution might work wonders and is a lot less messy. Just a small battery, some wires and a bit of fiddling: voilà.
The group admin sets the tone: "Listen, this is a light-hearted group. We are here to laugh and maybe cringe from time to time. And sometimes, in pursuit of that, someone may post something that isn't technically a sign. Hell, it may even be blatantly photoshopped. But guess what? We don't care. If it's funny, clever, or just plain weird... bring it on." Joining the 10k members, we can laugh at hilarious signs like "Jesus can heal you, use heroin" or "this is the back door, the front door is around the back."

“My husband Stephan is a photographer and has a great sense of humor, so he decided to put together this group,” one of the admins of the group, Laura Carter Chagnon, told Bored Panda in a previous interview. She thinks that many people love this group because these signs are out there in the world, sometimes due to someone's mistake or miswording. It's something we all experience, making it easy for us to relate and find humor in them.

Forgive me father, for I have sinned. It has been 26 years since my last confession. You might wanna put in some overtime, we gonna be here a while...
Verena 2 years ago
Not dumb, as the priest is not allowed to do anything with it, whatever grave the sin was, and the prayers to say are baded on the sin and not the reason, explaining the reason is pointless. God knows all or something in that direction. However, this confession-thing is something I never grasped... but you do you.

It's probably less painful this way. No need to get into the gory details. Just admit you did it and get the whole thing over with. God appreciates efficiency.

The administrators of the group never imagined it could get this big. They started out with a group called UUUniverse, but many people think of Signage as the original group. "The UUUniverse began with a now-archived group known as 'Useless, Unsuccessful, and/or Unpopular Memes' which spawned a community that went on to form many groups. There's one for just about every topic, including UUU Cats Refurmed, UUU License Plate Spotting, UUU Cook, and even very niche groups such as UUU Standpipe Spotting!"

Spent most of late Thursday morning stuck behind an artic lorry carrying the most ginormous shipping container I’ve ever seen. Why? Obviously following his satnav and found himself trying to manoeuvre down lanes just wide enough for cars. Had to keep getting out of his cab to look what the road was like further on. All the signs that he had passed warning him that the roads are not suitable for HGVs didn’t do any good.
Never Snarky 2 years ago
This used to happen all the time on Storrow Dr in Boston. Signs were ignored.
While it's certainly amusing to laugh at pointless and meaningless signs, we must also acknowledge the crucial importance of safety signage in general. Kevin Rowe from 'Safety Buyer' says that it is undoubtedly important to do safety trainings, but safety signs in businesses are crucial: "They are an essential supplement, providing clear reminders of the most crucial safety messages in the places they are most needed. In diverse workplaces where many staff members may not speak English as a first language — or where the working environment is loud enough that verbal warnings might be missed - the importance of clear visual communication of this kind cannot be underestimated." Safety signs not only warn but also remind workers of safe practices. They highlight exit routes, first aid kit locations, and offer guidelines for machinery and fire safety.

I bet they think "importanter" is the only ironic part, not the "tacos is" part.
While useless, unsuccessful, and unpopular signage may leave us amused and scratching our heads, it's essential to remember that signage serves a vital purpose in our daily lives. Keep on delving into the world of sign fails, embracing their unintentional humor and quirky charm.

Somebody lives near some dumb people. Based on address, appears to be one of five cities in southern california so maybe it is an ESL problem. But a friend and I go to a LOT of garage sales here in WA and I never see signs like this. Usually it is stuff like writing too small or not including an arrow.

Looked this up. Chicago hot dogs have sweet relish. Ketchup and sweet relish make the hot dog very sweet, which is OK if you like sweet. Don't tell me how to eat MY food. Also do not tell how I like MY steak done.

Every time I see a sign like this I think there was some designer who lied on their resume and all they really know how to do is change fonts and colors and rearrange letters and words. This also begs questions about the qualifications of management who purchase these monstrosities and mount them in the workplace.

If anyone wonders, rail yards have raised “humps.” Yard engines run cars up them and release, and as they roll down they’re shunted to wherever they’re supposed to go. Some cars are designed to carry cargo that shouldn’t be shifted around like that.
