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!

I think people would pay better attention to signs if they were more like this

There are signs along the highways around here which say "DRIVE N TEXT, UB NEXT".

I've already bottled mine up, does that count? Or should I leave the bottle in the vehicle too?

If you actually end up in Boston, or London Heathrow, it will be unexpected!

Oh, definitely not. Meanwhile I have this bridge in Oregon I've been hoping to sell, which isn't easy in today's market, but you look like just the kind of savvy businessperson I was searching for! With just a small investment of - *sirens* OH NO THE COPS! *jumps out the window*

These bots are getting really annoying. I mean, I enjoy making snarky retorts to them, but does anyone know how to report them? People just say report them but I'm not the best with the internet and I don't know where that button is😅

The best thing to do with the spammers is to down vote their post. I read somewhere else on BP that if they get a certain number of down votes, first they are temporarily banned. After a temporary ban comes A permanent ban. So down vote every spammy post you see.

i'm imagining a dystopian mad max-esque barren hell hole. everything is looted, stolen, destroyed. except this sign. the one exception everyone agrees on leaving untouched. left erected in bitter irony

That's because it's a few miles from where the original Mad Max was filmed.

I have this exact same photo from when I went travelling in 2006... this is a novely (of course) sign on the golf course in coober pedy, australia. Its an opal mining town that is so hot that most people live underground. Fascinating place. I think they filmed some of mad max there too. Another great sign they have say's "no noodling" which I believe is unorthorised searching for opals.

This sign is either way too early, way too late, or just way too funny.

This is likely a restoration site. The contractor would seed and then post this sign. It wouldn't make sense for the contractor to de-mobilize from the site and then have to treck up here 3 months later to post this sign.

No, it's at the golf course in Coober Pedy, Oz. Those folks have a wicked sense of humor, and most live underground. It's an opal mining town, btw.

Wouldn't be surprised if this were a sign in New Mexico.... For so many reasons.
