“What a legend”

This is the kind of memorial that makes you want to know the full story behind it. Was Roger a legend simply for his honesty? Sometimes, brutal truth deserves immortality on brass. Not everyone leaves a legacy of kindness and warm memories, and honestly, that’s refreshing. Cheers to living authentically, even if it means hating the local park.

Well, that’s one way to warn customers about cutting costs! The pain of shoddy work really does sting long after your wallet recovers. It’s a gentle (or not-so-gentle) nudge to value quality over bargains. The dual attack of these signs is both educational and oddly reassuring.

“Stay safe... eat cake!”

Honestly, this advice has never sounded more delicious. Safety is a great excuse to grab another slice of cake, right? Finally, a motivational poster I can fully commit to. Who says positive thinking can’t be tasty (and come with frosting)?

“ID, please. We want to inform your family nicely.”

That’s one way to discourage burglars! If you’re planning on a little light trespassing, better remember your paperwork. It’s tough love for criminals—served with a chillingly polite twist. Maybe the neighborhood watch started outsourcing to sarcastic comedians.

“In front of a store that sells goth type stuff. ”

When even the store’s sign has an attitude, you know you’re in the right place for your goth essentials. Apologies in advance for existing, apparently. Sometimes “Sorry, we’re open” says it all. Shopping for black lipstick has never felt so delightfully awkward.

“Good advice for teens”

That’s some next-level parenting advice disguised as reverse psychology. Sure, teenagers know everything—at least until the bills come in. It’s the sassiest reality check sign I’ve seen in a while. Every parent is probably resisting the urge to repost it to the family group chat.

“It only improves tolerance..”

Before coffee: dead inside. After coffee: slightly less dead inside, but still not amused. The universal language of caffeine dependency. The sign really nails that ‘I need coffee to tolerate life’ energy. At least after coffee, you get a cup to clutch while you frown.

“Mind blown”

I absolutely did a double-take. For one second, you wonder if there’s a kernel of truth hiding in that sign. Next time you leave the lights on in a game, maybe check your power bill? Mind: officially blown by video game science.

“Reading takes you places”

I’d follow these directions anywhere, except maybe 'Hongwarts.' Close enough for a magical detour, right? Libraries know how to make every shelf feel like an adventure—even if that adventure goes slightly off-script.

“Feeling a little shy?”

Never forget that every blockbuster started as a weird idea blurted out in a meeting. Sharknado, we salute your humble, tornado-filled beginnings. If this sign doesn't inspire you to pipe up at work, nothing will. Embrace your inner mad genius!

Finally, hotels charging extra for bad moods! Maybe grumpy travelers will now think twice. Is there a ‘frequent grouch’ discount card? If you can’t pack a smile, make sure you pack some cash.

“sounds right...”

If the road is closed, surely that means I can go back home and nap, right? Looks like today’s excuse comes certified by local authorities. Sometimes fate just hands you the day off. Thanks, construction sign!

“This is what happens when you don't proofread. ”

When an initialism goes wrong, you suddenly get a totally different kind of community event. Is it just me, or is the church trying to broaden its audience? Those banners are bright, bold, and totally internet-ready.

“What’s been going on in this cemetery?”

Whatever happened here, it required a sign. No golfing in the cemetery means someone definitely tried it at least once! Every rule tells a story, and this one is probably more hilarious than respectful. Rest in peace (and in one piece, please).

“It’s fine. Got a light?”

When your ship’s signage sounds more like a dare than guidance, you know it’s going to be an interesting voyage. Priorities, right? Safety never takes a backseat—except maybe for this one sign. Just don’t combine the two.

Be careful what you write, or you might accidentally invite cannibalism. Hungry customers only, but please don’t eat the customers. Proofreading saves companies from lawsuits—and awkward dinner conversations.

This is the only kind of unfollow trend I fully endorse. Diets can be so ungrateful—never giving you likes or appreciation. Social media logic + snack cravings = a new kind of self-care.

“Better not trespass”

Trespassers beware: these folks are officially done with shenanigans. Nothing says 'go away' quite like mildly threatening dark humor. Who needs a guard dog when a sign alone makes people think twice? Cookie-cutter signage, this is not.

“Really hard”

Truer words have never been spoken! Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays… they’re all just missing the weekend. This sign is dangerously relatable. We’re all just crawling toward Saturday, aren’t we?

Finally, someone asks the big questions about being 'whelmed.' Why settle for overwhelmed or underwhelmed when you just want to feel… you know, fine? A sign for everyone who only wants to hit that mythical sweet spot of emotion. Maybe one day, we’ll get there.
