Stupid Signs
Below are some signs I have taken photos of, along with some commentary.
I spotted this in an office building in Hong Kong. I am intrigued to know who the sign is intended for. It is apparently to benefit people who were raised in a cave and have never seen a bin, but have somehow inexplicably learned to read and know what a bin is. I wouldn’t have though that such people exist, but I guess it is best to prepare for everything.
This was on the back of a bus in Taipei. According to my guide, it means “do not run into the back of the bus”. I am glad they warned us of this.
This was in Cannes, France. My French isn’t very good, but I believe it means “no three legged dogs”.
Why do they rent the rooms by the hour ? Actually, no, don’t answer that… And what is an “rlevator” anyway ?
This one from China doesn’t really need comment.
This was from a tourism brochure in Taipei in a section for Tourist Services. It is good to see they take their drinking seriously, but I am not sure what it has to do with Foot Reflexology ?
I like the sentiment of this one from Taipei.
This one is from a caravan park in Quorn, South Australia. Apparently the locals aren’t familiar with the complexities of washing their hands.
I found a suspiciously similar one in a toilet in McLaren Vale :
This sign was on the back of a removal truck we hired :
Here is one from Ron G, found on a hotel door in Shenzhen, China. I can’t even imagine what it means :
Here are two signs I recently saw on the way to Second Valley, South Australia. The first sign says that Second Valley is 5km away. The second sign (closer to Second Valley), says it is 6km !
I saw this recently in the Torrens Lake, Adelaide :
Spotted by Ron’s father-in-law in Sydney :
