signs

We don't know what you do at your job but we can guess that you don't have ads up everywhere insinuating that you steal children and eat them or something. People seem to have a really hard time proofreading. And we're grateful for it. Here are some more weird failures of design.

These signs go above and beyond in their ability to convey danger. And that's good, they're supposed to keep people from doing stupid things that could make them lose their lives. But that doesn't stop them from being almost comically spooky.

When they saw something that didn't seem right, these people took to the streets with signs of their own. With a few of these, it's not really clear what people are protesting here. Some of them just seem to be happy to be holding a sign. 

Signs, ads and products that could've used some more thought. Some are weirdly inappropriate, some are creepy as hell. It's weird how people never seem to get better at this stuff. Anyway, we're happy they don't.

Whether the phrasing is ultra imposing, or the threat itself is an absolute nightmare, these signs go above and beyond when it comes to keeping people away. Danger lurks everywhere, so much so that there's a whole 'nother batch of these signs right over here.

When the world told these people, animals, and things to not do things, they did them, by gum. Not necessarily enough to get themselves in trouble, but more just for the thrill of breaking the rules. If you wanna see more people break the world in a way that it can be easily repaired by tomorrow, then here's more.

Not much compares to a poorly designed masterpiece of stupid. One man's mistake at work is another man's sweet, scrumptious fail. We love seeing all the fruits of the world's strange coincidences, laziness and poor judgement. When they're unintentionally filthy, that makes them even better. And holy crap, these seem to happen a lot.

Quick note to anyone trying to design a logo for a product or business out there: It can help to have a second set of eyes look over your work. You never know where you might find a hidden "anus."

Here are some times people weren't so lucky.

Here are a bunch of failure-tastic reasons to have someone else check your work.

Whether it's by design, coincidence or just straight up ominous vagueness, we don't wanna be around anywhere these signs are. Maybe it's just more noticeable to have a sign that's a little out of the ordinary. It could be that these signs are in fact doing a really good job of keeping people away. Either way, to us, they're pretty damn scary. And by the way, if you want more, then here are more extra spooky signs.

Sometimes your passive aggressiveness or passionate unrest or mad confusion, boils over to such an extent that you need to yell at the world through a sign! You can just feel the rage coming through that person's stoic expression, as they broadcast on their sign, that they're so damn angry, they made a sign in the first place! 

There you are, just minding your own business. And all of a sudden, a helpful sign tells you that there is a monkey. The sign doesn't tell you where the monkey is, just that it's around. And that it bites. And if you try to fight, you can't win. That's just one of the signs. What else is out there?

There's so many signs, toys and products being designed all the time that some of them are inevitably not going to be proofread. And boy are we grateful for that. We wish more people made stupid mistakes that render their bookstore accidentally filthy. Here's to measuring once before cutting.

These signs do not need to repeat themselves. It could be anything, like possible ebola contamination or a mysterious door that should never be opened. The specificity, or sometimes vagueness of these particular signs makes it abundantly clear that their threats are not to be trifled with.

Here are some times things almost worked out, but instead ended with an "I guess they tried." Maybe things will be less mockable next time.

Here are some unfortunate mistakes, left by their creators for all to see. Good lord, imagine having to do an 8 hour shift in the butt donut.
