Every town and city has signs, but sometimes you come across one that makes no sense. However, it's funny to read them, so I asked our community to share the most absurd sign they've seen in their hometown, and, surprisingly or not, they had a lot of examples to share!
Here are all the silly signs spotted by our Pandas. I hope it will brighten up your day a bit! Enjoy!

Getting Real Specific
a lot of people do this on private properties with longer driveways, because you're more likely to notice a speed limit sign not ending in a 0 or 5 and therefore more likely to drive slower. they're usually not the exact speed limit to go, but it does encourage you to go slower.

Indeed, why throw money in a bottomless pit? It's strange how some people think that destroying other people's property is hilarious. But if someone picks a flower from their garden, they scream bloody murder.

Not An Irritation At All. Just Adding To The Things Needing To Avoid!
I respect our Amish communities and even buy groceries from their shops - they have amazing antibiotic-free meat and wonderful produce, but the buggies sharing toads gets dangerous. Since they don't buy gas, they don't pay taxes for road improvement, but their horse shoes and buggy wheels tear up the asphalt. Also, many don't even use lanterns at night and it's dangerous. I grew up in mountainous, rural PA, and hated watching the horses struggle up and down the mountains too.
Amish are, to me, proof that heavy conflict doesn't come from different believes, most of the time it's easy to take each other into consideration if there is room for each other. Your point shows exactly where things will start to get iffy. It the larger society has ideas about what constitutes as animal abuse (and develops in that), that can start to itch. I don't agree on your observation on the buggies "tearing" up the asphalt. Asphalt that tears under the stress of a buggy and or horse shoe, has probably withstood many, many cars before that. I don't feel like doing the math, but the forces from speeding up and slowing down from a car might be a little more equal on normal tires, it's still what stresses the road mostly. Take in account how the community has little carbon footprint because of how they live, and they get a pass in my book.

Bobbie is right! Why downvote? Don't want to accept these "quaint, adorable people" have faults?
Load More Replies...These are common, and anyone who hits a horse and buggy or finds this funny should be ashamed; entire families are often killed by people driving like assholes.
I've noticed that most people seem to equate their lifestyle with their being somehow more noble, pure, and moral than the majority society. I for one jump to no such conclusion. I don't know anything about their culture. If you're someone who assumes they are like puppy dogs just because they don't use every modern tech and are somewhat self-sufficient, erase that unfounded assumption from your mind. It's a strange thing to assume a society's morals are based on their religion or desire to be different.
There's an Amish shop near my town, they have the absolute BEST sandwiches!! 😋
I live in northern Indiana, and these signs are everywhere. The Amish in our area all have lights on their buggies, and reflecting triangle signs on the back.

What is it with BP's truncation policy? Must every posting be shortened? A post with 34 entries is just fine!
