hazard

On any given day, we're exposed to a number of pretty common hazards, and the signs that come with them. For example, the ubiquitous "watch your step." The further away you get from daily life, the more specific the danger becomes, and the more vague and weird their warning signs. Here are signs that are either on purpose or accidentally very scary, and doing a great job at keeping people away. For more, check out these scary signs that mean business.

Most signs just say "Danger" or "Keep Out" but these ones have more of a flair for the dramatic. Whether overly specific or overly vague, theses signs really make you want to stay back.

If you're strolling through some supposedly non-hazardous environment and you see one of these, do yourself a favor and turn back. Oh, and also BEES!

If we saw these signs in the wild we would  just turn around and nope on outta there.

The world is full of creative hazards.

When a sign warns you with comically graphic mutilation, you pay attention to the warning.

Sign-makers will go into great detail to explain unusual hazards. Some are comical, some are just damn spooky. See more at r/ScarySigns

And the sad thing is that they're all necessary.

Those were the days. Good old lead paint, underage smoking and playing on train tracks.
