Public signs aren't always informative—they're sometimes sassy, brutally honest, and laugh-out-loud funny. From mysterious products to restroom etiquette, these posted masterpieces offer amusement and a glimpse into the deepest frustrations or best senses of humor of their creators. Prepare for a wild ride through notices you won't forget!
“Which would you use?”
Ah, the eternal battle between ‘washed’ and ‘didn’t wash’—now with door handles! There’s no hiding your restroom hygiene habits here. Everyone’s eyes will be on you depending on which handle you choose. Suddenly having clean hands feels like a public confession. This setup should be the new standard everywhere—talk about peer pressure to keep your hands clean!
“The most honest product description ever written??”
I love the brutal honesty here—'we have no idea what these are, but they won’t stop coming.' It’s both oddly comforting and a little alarming! Makes me want to buy one out of sheer curiosity and shared confusion. Who knew the local shopkeepers were being haunted by mystery tubes? Give them some peace: buy a tube, solve a mystery, or just help clear out some shelf space.
“Another funny way to designate the bathrooms”
Toilet humor is alive and well! This creative take on restroom signage is one way to let everyone know which door is which—while also delivering a gentle jab about chatterboxes. Who knew the word “BLA” could say so much? If you’re ever at a loss for words, just use one…or forty of them in bold on a bathroom door.
“Know yourself”
This is levels beyond a 'do not disturb' sign. Self-awareness is powerful, and this person absolutely nailed it. If only we could all come with a warning label about our procrastination triggers! From now on, I will audibly hear this sign in my head every time I start chatting mid-task. Honest, relatable, and a thesis-saving game-changer.
“Work from home tip”
Now this is a hack for the ages. Why settle for boring tea when you can sip wine in style, as long as you’re careful with the mug bluffing? The perfect advice for surviving one too many Zoom calls: a little subterfuge, a lot of wine, and just enough plausible deniability to keep your tea-cred intact.
“Demon Dog Sign”
Warning: chihuahua possessed by demons inside! The lengths people go to for their pets’ safety (and everyone else’s sanity) is next-level impressive. If you try to rescue this little beast, don’t blame the owner—you’ve been warned in all caps AND with a little canine evil energy as an added deterrent.
“So Many Questions”
A bathroom closed for a private event is already suspicious enough, but the mind absolutely reels with the possibilities. Are there exclusive restrooms parties? Is there a secret handshake? This sign raises far more questions than it answers. One day, I want to be invited to a private restroom event just to see what goes on.
“His bark is bigger than his bite”
Move over, guard dogs—there’s a new warden in town, and it’s…a chained-up log? Somebody’s got a sense of humor (and a wild imagination about wood security devices). I’m tempted to make an offer for this $2,500 ‘guard log.’ For that price, it better patrol the neighborhood or at least roll intimidatingly toward intruders.
“Free Snowman”
Canada’s DIY spirit in a nutshell: 'Free Snowman, Some Assembly Required.' This is either the least practical giveaway ever or the most delightfully honest one. All you need is a dream, a carrot, and mittens. The snow? You’ve got more than enough! Just don’t expect help with the assembly.
“Big Fat Nope”
What could possibly go wrong with a stubbornness-vs.-public-health showdown? Nothing, except graffiti responding directly to public health warnings. The comedic timing here is gold. Stubbornness: 1, Billboard: 0. If willpower alone could save lives, these guys are officially immortal.
“just asking”
Billboards just keep getting more direct—and slightly existential. Some days, you can only manage 'No, next question.' Relatable, billboard, extremely relatable. Whoever added that graffiti probably didn’t expect it would connect with so many people. Still, you have to admire the honesty.
“Sounds about right”
‘Stop hating on lazy people. We didn’t even do anything.’ I feel seen and slightly attacked. Finally, a rallying cry for the proud loungers among us! This retro sign gets straight to the point—being idle is not a crime, it’s an art. Kudos to whoever’s reclining in style and defending the chill life.
“Hiring sign of the week...”
Eighteen years old with twenty years’ experience? Sure, let me just invent time travel. This hiring sign is a classic case of 'dream big or go home.' Candidates, dust off your kindergarten résumés! Maybe there’s a preschool CEO job opening as well?
“Please do not lick the walls”
You know humanity’s taken a weird turn when signs need to specify not licking the walls. Clearly, someone pushed the limits—or their tastebuds—just a little too far. If nothing else, it’s a reminder to keep your tongue (and curiosity) in check. The health department thanks you, weirdo wall-lickers.
“How to get a boyfriend”
Instructions for life, romance, and baked goods all in one sign. The process to a boyfriend is easier than I thought—cake, bravery, and maybe coffee as backup ammo. It’s official: the shop with the best cake also has the best contingency plan for heartbreak. Would you risk rejection for a pastry?
“It's officially”
The most relatable weather sign ever—it’s officially sweater-in-the-morning, regret-in-the-afternoon season. We’ve all been there, sweating in layers by midday. There’s no right move, only optimistic wardrobe choices and a lifetime of confusion about weather apps. Stay strong, and maybe carry a backpack for your layers.
“Dad saw this earlier today. had to share”
If you lost a wad of $20s wrapped in a rubber band, rejoice: your rubber band has been found! This is either peak trolling or peak honesty. Now, about the cash…let's hope the rubber band wasn’t holding anything too valuable. At least someone’s keeping an eye out for lost property.
“Anything to avoid the metric system...”
Who knew elevator weight limits could be so entertaining? Four people, or a horse, or 88 haddocks—the possibilities are endless, if not a little fishy. Next time you get in a lift, wonder how many bananas you weigh. The math may not add up, but the humor definitely does.
“Bilingual sign”
Finally, a sign for both dog people and their loyal pups. Ruff ruff woof—just pick up after your furry genius already! I’m pretty sure every trail would benefit from this bilingual approach. Sometimes you just need to spell it out in both languages—human and canine.
“No matter which planet you're from”
Finally, a restroom sign with true universal reach. Regardless of gender or planet of origin, everyone’s welcome—just remember to wash those hands! Space travelers, earthlings, and everyone in between: hygiene unites us all. Now if we could just get aliens to replace the toilet paper roll, true intergalactic peace could be achieved.
