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!

    Since it probably has the button (hook switch/switch hook I've seen them called) you can hit it 9 times then 9 times and 9 more to dial it.

    As you are making a serious point I'll respond in kind. I've been fairly reliably informed (by a BT Engineer who recognised the phone) that the sign is wrong. It should read something along the lines of (the order is a guess) press 1 for coastguard, 2 for police etc.

    We can still use 112 in the UK, which is the most common emergency number across Europe.

    I always wondered why in North America we use 911 when just having to dial one digit 3 times would be even easier. Thankfully I’ve never had to use it anyway. Yet…

    I assume it means that it's on the hour not the half. Like it's 10:00 10:20, 10:40, instead of like 10:10, 10:30, 1050

    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.
