30 “Signs That Probably Have A Story Behind Them,” As Shared On This Online Group (New Pics)
A good sign should be eye-catching, easy to understand, and informative. But this post is about a different kind of sign.
You see, some signs are so weirdly specific and hilarious that they make people, intentionally or not, wonder about the whys and whats. They make your imagination run errands and seem to tell us a whole lot more than they’re actually supposed to be saying. How is that possible, you ask? Pull your seat closer.
Below we wrapped up some of the most entertaining signs from all walks of life, spotted by passersby who suddenly had more questions than they had answers. Upvote your favorite ones as you scroll down below and be sure to check out more funny signs that very likely have stories behind them in our previous feature.

The Sign Is The Story
Mental Liberals 2 years ago
As long as they are real scientists, and not these political ones getting paid by politicians and big pharma...
Max Fox 2 years ago
Just to remind people that Dr Oz isn't a scientist. In fact, most people with MDs are not scientists. An MD is teaches people how to practice medicine, not how to do research. A PhD in a field of science teaches people how to do research. Second important lesson - if the scientist is a physicist and they are telling you something that isn't physics, they don't know what they're talking about, no matter how convincing it sounds. Physicists are all convinced that they are better than everybody at everything, and they're also convinced that they are mathematicians. Neither are true, BTW.

Jared Robinson 2 years ago
Seriously dangerous. If you mess around with those tents too much that's a hundred pound tent top and poles dropping straight down on folks.
“Signs that cause confusion often result from poor design choices or messaging that is too complex or open to interpretation,” Laura Vanagaite, an international freelance graphic designer who specializes in branding and social media content creation, told Bored Panda in an interview via email.
As an example, she added, these are signs with ambiguous or conflicting messages that can create confusion for those who see them.

Moreover, confusion may also arise not only from the sign itself but rather from its placement. “Signs that are poorly placed or not visible can fail to communicate their message effectively,” Laura said.
This is because the placement and the context of a sign can have a significant impact on its meaning, Laura argues. “For example, a stop sign placed at an intersection can convey a clear message of traffic control, but the same sign placed in a parking lot may not have the same intended meaning.”

“Similarly,” Laura continued, “a sign with a bold font and bright colors placed on a city street may communicate urgency or danger, while the same sign in a more relaxed setting may not have the same effect.”
Essentially, the context in which a sign is placed can create associations with the surrounding environment and influence how people perceive it. “Therefore, it is crucial to consider the placement and context of a sign to effectively communicate its message,” Laura told us.

The best noise complaints are the ones I heard from the new development that was built under MCO's (Orlando Int. Apt) flight path. McCoy dates back to 1940, and the housing developments I'm thinking about were being built in the 1990's, and didn't anyone look up before buying their house? ?? And how the hell do you NOT notice an aircraft a minute passing overhead.

I used to have a downstairs neighbor (I lived in an apartment building) that would whine if I basically just walked, if I watched TV at over 20 volume, if a freaking pen were to fall out of my hand she would complain to management. She complained so much that I installed various area rugs, and was basically walking on eggshells in my own apartment. She complained a lot about various neighbors until management basically told her, "if its not loud enough for the police to come by, don't bother us" She moved at the end of her lease. What an annoying person, glad she's gone.

The sign may also be confusing if it’s put at the wrong time and at the wrong place. “A sign that is not relevant to its location or its audience can be ineffective or even counterproductive,” Laura warns. “For example, a sign advertising winter clothing during the summer months or in a location where it seldom gets cold may not resonate with its audience.”

It depends on how you ask or if you ask outright. If we’re both in chatty moods, I usually talk about the city and their life and let them tell me where they’re from if they’re foreign and they want to. And then it sparks a fun conversation, especially because I’ve traveled a lot and lived abroad —and so have many members of my family— and often have visited or lived in their home country. Edit for spelling

As a person of color, I find this question to be a veiled racism even if the person doesn't intend it to be.
“Similarly, a sign promoting a product or service that is not available in a particular location can create confusion and frustration for those who see it. It's important to consider the appropriateness of a sign's placement and messaging to ensure that it is effective and useful to its intended audience,” Laura explained.
When creating a sign, Laura argues, it's crucial to consider the user experience. “As a sign designer, you need to take into account the needs and expectations of the intended audience.”

According to a graphic designer, a well-designed sign should possess these key features: “have clear and concise messaging, be visually appealing and easy to read, and be placed in a location where it can be easily seen and understood.”
“Additionally, it should consider the audience's needs and expectations to effectively communicate its message,” Laura concluded.

Ok, story time.... we learned in school one day about a scientist that was learning about digestion who tied a something and swallowed it to pull up later to see how it had digested. Me being the hard little learner I am, I had to try something similar, only not on myself cause why would I? So i enlisted the help of my childhood friend, Jessica. I tied a piece of a hot dog to a string which she promptly swallowed. Turns out pulling out back up is no easy task. I nearly killed her. I had to cut the string so she could swallow it down and not choke to death. Follow me for more tales from my childhood.

Don’t Touch The Mug
Tristan J 2 years ago
You would like to work with people who ignore your polite requests to not touch things that belong to you and you put in your mouth to the point you need to make a sign, and then continue to disrespectfully ignore it and mock your request? Having previously worked in places that I have made a similar request, it was because people would clean all the cups with disgusting sponges, and take no care resulting in chips and breakages. I don't think it's too much to ask to be able to have a mug for coffee that you don't feel disgusted to drink out of or need to constantly replace, just because your 'hilarious' work colleagues have no common courtesy or respect for things belonging to others.

I Eat Pizza With The Box Closed, Actually
LynzCatastrophe 2 years ago (edited)
My doctor told me to include more fiber in my diet. This seemed like the better option to balance the cheese and spicy sausage.

Isnt that the part that tucks in though? You would have to lift the lid to read this anyway. What if I saved that slice of box for last. I WOULDA NEVER KNOWN UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE

In the other yard "I have a security system, pitbulls, mace, a bowie knife, and a baseball bat. I don't need a gun for self defense. If you steal my neighbour's gun collection, please don't sell them to kids, we don't need another school shooting to prove that guns should be regulated."
Michael Largey 2 years ago
Sir, we don't worry about people like you taking your guns and defending people. We're worried about the exact opposite.
censorshipsucks 2 years ago
you need a sign next door pointing back at this one that says <- My next door neighbour wants to give guns to schoolkids. They don't care about school shootings. Out of respect for their opinions I will be buying guns for all the kids at the school that their kids go to. #asshats.

This is common, people hang clothes from the sprinkler and break it. I've seen this sign a lot.

Can confirm. Fire protection engineer here. Especially during wedding season when lots of ladies get dressed in one room and want to hang their garments up. Causes MILLIONS of dollars worth of damage yearly just in my area.

Anti diarrhea meds can be used in a pinch to help keep withdrawal from opiates at bay, but you have to eat a lot.

It's mandated that food-like stuff which does not meet USDA standards MUST be labeled as such. Whatever it is, it's probably going to be eaten by pigs.

This was very common on kids pjs when my kids were younger, always looked exactly the same. I would assume they are still in use now.
Persephone 2 years ago
Correct. Flame retardant pajamas used to be common, I always found to be very itchy and bad for skin; I hated them growing up. now they just make many pajamas tight fitting to avoid catching flame during an emergency exit. They almost always come with this warning in the US. My daughter's pj's still do!

It wasn't the sitting on the sink that damaged it. It was butts on the sink during sexing.
