All The Signs Say You're Crazy - Unusual Signs of the World

Signs are usually there to assist you in life, helping you find your way. And then there are these signs...

There are two types of common signs. The first sign is a warning sign, used to warn vehicles, pedestrians, or to pay attention to dangerous locations. The other signs are directional signs, usually used to provide vehicles and pedestrians with directional assistance. Usually...

Many of the so-called "caution signs" are often portrayed as universally recognized logos or drawings. These signs point out a specific area of caution, and try to draw attention to it's warning, although these signs can often be amusing, funny, and sometimes, just downright strange. In any case, proceed with caution.

Be careful of strong winds, they may blow you away - in a grocery cart..

In the case of an outbreak of fire, run quickly with a fire extinguisher in your hand.

Chan, you have outdone yourself. I haven't laughed this hard in a very long time. These signs boggle the mind.

Thank you,
Your honorary sister,
Judy

Thank you Judy for your encouragement.

These signs came from various parts of the world, many are not in "English", and as the writer states many are unusual and strange, just like your comment is strange, and mean spirited. You should confine your comments to things pertinent to the article. How many languages are you fluent in?

Wow the people that made these signs are really stupid
#5 by Jared Stenzel, Dec 28, 2007
Some of the craziest signs I've ever seen. Great work and dedication to the subject.

Awesome post, a lot of amazing things to see in this world!

By the way, I think "magnolia" is a kind of flower.

Keep it up ...

some were hilarious, but others were not funny at all.

I had to come back and visit again. I love this article.
#10 by b. radley, Jan 1, 2008
very funny and entertaining!! Thanks.
#11 by Jason Lusk, Jan 2, 2008
I needed a good laugh. Thanks!

Good job, and funny too.

And as number 4 pointed out, a lot of these signs were written by speakers of foreign languages, hence the mix-up. I'd probably make a stupid mistake if I tried writing 'chilled beer' in another language.

Good collection, but many of these are reposts from around the web. A good third have been altered and most of the alterations just kind of make them a little foolish. I can understand a light chuckle, but where is the hilarity in this post? posts and emails with these signs circle the globe and when they come back somebody gets excited and says "yay!! ironic signs!! yay!!"... And even the really funny signs are masked by silly little captions that don't really add anything. And this is a hot Triond article? Really? Are you getting commission for this? Sorry for the rant... its just that it seems so sad that this massive internet consists of more and more recycled trash every single day and nobody is saddened. Libraries and the postal service had a good long run before their respective totes became littered with the wastes and disposable thoughts of Everyman, but we take joy in clogging up what will someday be our main source for everything... information and learning, news, social interaction, music and entertainment, maybe even the replacement for paper money! It's not a national thing because the world over people of every race and creed stare at YouTube for hours watching cats fall off walls. Those people also send every forward they recieve to their entire address book and laugh heartily when they see the same "Men have a higher speed limit than women" sign for the seven hundredth time. This article has brought down my faith in the human race and the online community as a whole... please try harder folks!! For all our sakes!!

Very nice! I like articles like this one, when theres many pictures and you can laugh.
#16 by Wow Bad, Jan 3, 2008
Just because you delete my comment doesnt mean you didnt miss the joke. The BMW sign is a shot at microsoft, clever fellow.
#17 by Amanda, Jan 3, 2008
Hilarious! I really liked all those signs. Although I'm pretty sure the 3rd one is supposed to be "Path of the magnolias" or "Magnolia Path" Magnolia being a flower, so that makes sense. The rest were all really funny though. Thanks for the laugh!
#18 by Goldfinger2008, Jan 4, 2008
Great article! I especially liked the one with the 4 road signs showing that you couldn\'t go forward, backward, left or right.
#19 by to commenter 18, Jan 5, 2008
It's sad that some people have to stoop to name calling. With a name like davebanana, you would think the commenter would have a modicum of tolerance.
#20 by Rook, Jan 5, 2008
Chang, i like the pictures but i don't like a lot of the comments. If you can't think of something clever (and that's fine) then it's probably better to just leave the comment off.
#21 by oniovo lee, Jan 7, 2008
very entertaining, keep it up
#22 by ANDYPANDA, Jan 9, 2008
Pretty funny.

There are a lot of odd safety signs you can find in various places too. I like the graphic warning signs on a cardboard crusher that shows what can happen to your hand if used wrong. Like you don't already know.
