These 79 Unexpected Signs Are A Masterclass In How Not To Get Your Message Across

Most signs are designed to make life easier, because they give directions, explain rules, point out warnings, and tell us what we should or shouldn't be doing. At least, that's the idea. Every now and then, though, someone comes across a sign that seems to have missed the memo entirely.

Maybe the wording is hilariously confusing, the instructions contradict themselves, or the message is so confusing and contradictory that you have to stop and read it again just to make sure you got it right.

A Reddit page dedicated to these curious discoveries has been collecting some of the funniest, most bewildering examples spotted around the world. From poorly worded notices to signs that raise far more questions than they answer, these finds prove that even the simplest messages can take a spectacularly unexpected turn. So, get ready for a collection that might leave you more confused than informed!
