Nobody just builds a sign because it looks good. If that was the case, we’d probably have paintings and photographs on display on the roads.

Whether it’s a sign with an advert or a road sign, it’s there because it has a message to say. These bits of info become quintessential in moving around places, knowing what you’re allowed to do and, more often, what you're not, or being aware of the direction you’re going. But what if the signs fail to do what they are supposed to?

That’s how they end up on one of these Facebook groups: Stupid and Weird signs or Really Bad Signs. Both communities provide pure entertainment that shares anything from road and shop signs to street and public signs that have something off about them. Sometimes it’s a spelling error, other times it’s a unique message, so I leave the stage to them. Scroll down and upvote your favorite ones!

    LMAO I feel for whoever put these up. I have a doorbell. On the door I have a large sign saying please use doorbell and an arrow. People knock on the door. Right next to the sign! The house across the driveway from me made arrows out of blue tape pointing to their doorbell, so clearly people around here have an aversion to the damn things.

    That's what I'm thinking. Or they could also think there's a different door somewhere that they need to use to exit since the sign on the door itself might make people think it's only an emergency exit. Which there are a lot of buildings that do have exits set up that way, where side doors are emergency exit only doors, but the regular exit doors are in a different location. I'll confess that I would probably be that person to ask where the exit is, because I would think that one is an emergency exit only :\

    I doubt this is a legitimate sign. I think it's more likely photoshop. Something about the "Michael Bolton" image looks off, particularly around the edges.
