Bored Panda interviewed Lee Glanville, the owner of "Ominous Signs" Instagram page, and asked him about his inspiration for the page. Glanville said, "I saw a few signs online that had a threatening energy to them and thought it would be funny to collect them into one place." He added that he likes signs that suggest "an authority figure is threatening you," as there is something funny about that.
Lee also shared that he has a particular fondness for the "children drive slowly" sign and believes that children should not be driving at all. He said, "Personally, I don’t think they should be driving at all." When asked about how he sources the images for his page, Glanville said, "I find most of them online and credit where possible, but people can and do submit images as well."

The blue/red colour was our old roadsigns colour combo, we've now switched to the normal red/black/white.

SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! See the battle of the century as Grandpa "Wheels of Steel" takes on Crunch the Crocodile. Will his single brake skid spins and his sensory depriving colostomy bag sneak attack be able to overcome the bone crushing jaws and insulting tail slaps? BE THERE!

If it only happened once it’s a freak accident… must have happened more than twice to warrant a sign.

I'm lol because when I had foot surgery my husband pushed me in my wheel chair down the catwalk at the Cleveland zoo. No gators or crocs at the end, just wallabys.

ok I promise I won't roll somebody in a wheelchair down a hill into a lake to get eaten by the alligators that are presently living in that specific lake.
The sign that generated the most engagement and sparked the most interesting discussions among his followers, according to the page owner, is the "please do not smile at strangers" sign in a train station. He believes that most people would rather be left alone during their commute. When asked about the future of the "Ominous Signs" Instagram page, Lee said that he is currently only focused on posting on Instagram. However, he mentioned that he has another project, an illustration account, that you Pandas, might want to check out as well.

I like it… kindness goes a long way, even if you’re smiling at a murderous ghost :)

One of my faves was from Getaway magazine, a local mag which collected odd signs. The sign said, "Maak toe die bleddie hek!" (Close the bloody gate!)
