Everyone knows that electronics don't work perfectly all the time, but we don't expect them to not work in an official or commercial setting. It must be weird to have to say "well it looks like we should turn the road signs off and on again." Here are some excruciating moments of tech support gore for some more things not working as they should.

There wouldn't be design without a healthy number of design fails. There's people putting telephone poles in the middle of roads, goofing up headlines, photoshopping the ever-loving reality out of their ads, and making classic stupid signs. You've gotta love it when someone makes a great big sign for their local "Pubic Library." Here are some wonderfully unprofessional "not my job" moments.
There's something charming about a puntacular sign. And this sign in particular isn't alone. The Carroll County Veterinary Clinic has some stiff competition when it comes to this other sign whose pun game is too on point. Here are some more dadtacular dad jokes and an extra smattering of puns to fill the pun void.
The sign for the Indian Hills Community Center has a long history of having a pun game that's too strong. There's something weirdly quaint about a sign with good puns. For some more quality puns, here's a smattering of puns to fill the pun void.
Every day, people birth new stupid design failures that need some help. Whether it's a useless fence, an accidentally dirty sign, directions that make no sense or just a misplaced toilet, we're grateful for them all. These were design fails were someone's one job, but we doubt many will admit to doing them.
All of these signs have the potential to instill some good old fashioned fear. Some of these spooky signs are probably incredibly helpful and we're lucky to have them. Some terrifying signs just sound like a threat. For a break from the scary, here are some funny signs.
Your garden variety "Beware of Dog" sign brings to mind an almost cartoonishly ferocious hurricane of spit and teeth, and the animals behind these signs don't seem to fit the bill. Some of these you wouldn't be surprised to find sleeping in silly positions. For some dogs who have more of a sense of what's going on, here are professional good dogs who take their work seriously.
People are asked to make stuff all the time, and sometimes there's more stress that something gets done than if it gets done well. That can lead to some pretty dumb design fails that didn't go as planned. Every day someone does a bad job, and every day there are more design failures that didn't work out.
Signs, advertisements and billboards are a weird game. Every joke advertisement is a bit of a risk. Some are dumber than others. Sometimes a sign's pun game is simply too strong. Some advertising fails, like the magazine layout fails are total accidents. Sometimes signs are just straight up scary.
Spooky signs are there to be helpful and warn us of hazards in our environment, but some of them, like these terrifying signs go above and beyond when it comes to being scary. They're doing way too good a job of making us want to stay away.
In a world where people are constantly asked to make new things, some of those things are not going to work out exactly as planned. That means we get some design fails that were someone's one job. Sometimes it's an accidentally filthy sign, sometimes it's a toilet that drains to nowhere. There are infinite ways to end up with design failures that don't quite cut it.
As long as people keep making things, the world will have more and more stupid design failures that need some help. We have no way of knowing if these folks were trying their best, but however hard they tried, their attempts hit the ground with the sound of failure.
At their most basic level, signs exist to give the general public necessary information and warn people of hidden dangers. These foreboding signs went above and beyond when it came to being scary as hell, whether being spooky was their intention or not. Signs just have a habit of being scarier than intended.
If you can't see how great these puns are, the writing is on the wall. We're fans of dad jokes and stupid puns that we feel guilty for enjoying. A good pun has the ability to make you seem like a genius and an utter moron at the same time. Here are more dumb puns and clever jokes that are technically not wrong. And here are some straight up funny signs.
Stuff lie this makes us think we'd be pretty good at designing signs and clothes. Maybe it's harder to do well without ending up with stupid design failure? The fact remains, the world is completely filled up with really not good signs and designs, and it seems like a whole lotta people out there aren't doing their job.
