Graphic design is not these people's passion. And that's okay! They're just regular people making regular signs, for reasons such as “don't park in front of this trash can.” Oh wait… we also have a few professional signs in here too. They're quite hard to read, yet they can be found in restaurants or in advertisements. I think sometimes the graphic designers will make a sign, and their client keeps picking at it. They want it to be prettier or more attention-grabbing. So the artist reworks it a…

This person went from enjoying their job to being baffled at their boss's decision-making in just a short time. It seems like u/aqualink97 had a weird experience working for this boss . They started the job at a youth center. But after starting the job, their boss enlisted them to make videos and graphic designs. The boss then decided to create a separate magazine which fell under the youth center's purview. Over time, it started becoming clear that the boss was intending to fully focus on the…

No workplace is perfect, but a few of these offices have some fatal flaws. For example, if your office temperature is constantly set to a toasty 78 degrees, the employees aren't going to be doing their best work. They're going to be constantly searching for a cooler spot to work from. Heat makes people irritable and impatient, so it's odd that a company would insist that their employees can't touch the thermostat to cool off a bit. Other employees are dealing with some chronic food theft . It's…

It's easy to miss the most bizarre behavior at the airport if you're not looking carefully enough. Perhaps you're too focused on making your flight in time that you don't notice some random lady fully doing yoga poses at the gate like she's in a class or something. Alternatively, perhaps you just landed and you're so exhausted that you just want to focus on getting out of there as soon as possible. If that's the case, you might miss all the greeting signs from friends, family, and car service d…

They say every sign has a story behind it, and some of these signs certainly left us wanting more. For instance, who was golfing in that cemetery, what were they thinking, and how many times did this happen to necessitate the posting of a sign? Other highlights from this week's top funny signs include a “Wrong Way” road sign that was planted upside down. One has to wonder what unwise fellow made that mistake, or perhaps it was planted like that on purpose with the intent of further creeping out…

When you get a signed job offer, the last you would expect is that the company would retract it. After all, once you've signed, you put in your two week notice and get busy preparing for your new job. You say goodbye to your boss and coworkers and fully expect to begin on the date that was approved by your hiring manager. If things go wrong, you're going to have a problem… you have bills to pay. You can't just not work. One job candidate found themselves absolutely floored after their hiring ma…

For one South Carolina homeowner, HOA rules just weren't acceptable. His case is totally understandable: why would you want an association to meddle with your property? Why is it any of their business in the first place? HOAs, or Home Owner's Associations , are known to be meddlesome groups. They're usually run by local people who police the properties in their area heavily. They can issue fines for things like parking in one's own driveway, or having the wrong mailbox type, or painting one's h…

You never realize you live with a bunch of sarcastic comedians until your neighbors start leaving notes in the lobby . Unless you live in the middle of the desert or something, you probably have a few neighbors. For those of us located in cities, it's normal to have not just one, but possibly dozens of neighbors. It seems like there's at least one person in every apartment building who just can't be normal. They're often quite disruptive, as if the dozens of other people in the building just do…

There's motivation, and then there's whatever this is. It's certainly not motivational , that's for sure. There was a time not so long ago when credit cards were only used for big purchases. Then, stores evolved to let people use them for smaller shopping trips. These days, it seems like everyone has at least a few cards, and we use them constantly. Regular old cash has taken a back seat. Credit cards are ubiquitous at retail locations especially. Many stores offer their own credit cards. That…

This fast food worker could've avoided trouble, but instead, they decided to stick up for a teammate . Working in fast food means knowing exactly when you'll be busy during your shift. If you clock in at 11 AM, you can bet that the lunch rush will be starting within the hour. Some places plan for this, and add in additional staff members to help with the rush. Another popular strategy is bringing in the newest members of the team to work during the mealtime crunch. Apparently they think that le…

Signing a lease for an apartment sight unseen is taking quite the risk. But this person, u/aalilyah, was living in Los Angeles, and couldn't get to New York to see the place before moving in. The OP then realized their new home wasn't as great as they'd hoped.

You might do a double-take and think you're misreading these signs. Fortunately, you're not crazy. These are actual signs from billboards, retail stores, and public bathrooms galore. Some of the requests being made are so ridiculous that you begin to question everyone else's sanity. For instance, do people really wash their feet in the sink of a public bathroom? Do people really tweet about a fire in the building before evacuating? Do the marketing teams of these major chains really not catch g…

Creating a sign shouldn't be this difficult. We can't all be sign experts! And sometimes you need a quick sign ASAP. So you scribble one out with a marker, and carry on with your day. Sometimes the sign-maker is a bad speller. Others simply got too creative with the placement of each word, making it nearly impossible to figure out what the flyer is trying to say. People captured photos of these signs found out in the wild. Some say these posters and flyers are still up today, haunting the walls…

This customer has a life hack to get into any store . All you have to do is take a little initiative. What could go wrong? U/Sparrowmoss shared this wild story of customer entitlement . Some customers take deep offense to stores being closed, or having hours of operation in general. If the customer can't get that random item at 10:59pm, they'll insist that the store is in the wrong. It's not the employee's fault that customers procrastinate so badly that they intend to shop at a store that's cl…

Jobs, how do they work? These people made various levels of mistakes that they really should have caught before it went out to the public. Below are 30 people who had just one job to get right, and they couldn't even do that. The funniest versions of this to me are translators or transcribers who messed up. There are people who were writing copy, needed translation to another language, and somehow that never happened. Then you end up with TV captions of a person who says a Korean word, and the…

There's a reason why everyone tells you to always read the label first. For one, as your mother probably told you growing up, you don't want to purchase, eat, wear, or try anything that might cause any damage whatsoever. However, in addition to that far more important reason, there's also the fact that if you don't read your signs and labels, you might be missing out on some quality content. I mean, there really is nothing quite like reading a sign and doing an immediate "Did I read that right?…
