We live in rather perilous times and all you really need to do is look around you to see that times are changing. Even though we live in a world that many people consider to be enlightened, it is still necessary to deal with people who may be lacking in intelligence, to put it bluntly. If you don’t deal with that part of the crowd properly, all of us would end up in a heap of trouble.
I don’t mean to be an alarmist but people just seem to be getting dumber and dumber. There is some concern that we may not be able to survive much longer but it doesn’t have anything to do with climate change or the threat of nuclear annihilation. The fact of the matter is, we are our own worst enemy and if we don’t stop this downward spiral, we may be in for a heap of trouble. Don’t believe me? Check out the signs and you will see:
1. Good advice
I just want to know how somebody would sit on the fence in the first place? Did someone try to do it?
2. You gotta be specific
If you buy a hot drink, you should know that it is hot but let’s face it, not everybody is going to be that bright. You also need to know where you should not pour it, just in case.
3. You gotta be kidding me
I don’t know if I could stand it if I went around the corner and saw somebody trying on a condom. Hopefully the person that did so at least used a changing room.
4. Are you joking?
We all get that the drug companies need to cover their bases but I think this is going a little bit too far.
5. The biggest hotdog you’ve ever seen
Do you think that anybody really thought that this was actually the true size of a hot dog? It never hurts to aim high, but that is ridiculous.
6. Stupid is as stupid does
Do you think some people may not actually understand what the word stop means? Do you really need a secondary sign to explain it? Other people may not quite get the fact that things get wet when it rains. Go figure.
7. Master of the obvious
I had to look at this for quite some time before I realized that I was actually seeing what I was seeing. If you have a water fountain in the middle of the floor that is spouting fluid, do you really need a wet floor sign?
8. Good thing they told us
Now that we know the battery has been removed, we can add another one. I’m glad they told us, this could have tied me up all day.
9. Good advice
This is really good advice but then again, it is probably a distraction. I wonder if anybody hit someone while reading it?
10. Don’t sit here
Do you think that somebody who didn’t know that it was broken would actually be able to read the sign?
11. You gotta be specific
I would say the sign was created by a stupid person. It covers the bases, but maybe a little bit too far.
12. Insert slot a…
If you don’t know how to cross the road using a traffic light, perhaps you should stay on the sidewalk.
13. Good thing they told us
I wonder how far you would have ended up in the weeds before you realized the sidewalk had come to an end?
14. No words
We all understand the peanut allergies are serious but let’s face it, if you need someone to tell you to stay out of the peanuts because it might contain peanuts, we’re all in trouble.
15. Makes you wonder
Do you think that somebody actually stepped into the elevator and it wasn’t there? I may never look at the simple task of taking an elevator the same way again.
16. Another stupid sign
Humans do not have the ability to breathe underwater. If you don’t realize that, you are a candidate for drowning. In addition, lions should never be climbed on, it really goes without saying.
17. Thanks for the warning
This one makes me wonder if somebody actually DID try to use it.
18. Nice to know
If you need to warn somebody not to swallow a coat hanger, the world is in a bigger mess than I thought. They even drew a diagram.
19. Is ice hot too?
I guess you would need to let people know that it isn’t a fake fire but I would sure hope they do that anyway. If you don’t know fire is hot, it doesn’t take a long time to learn.
20. Humanity is on its last leg
I guess it may be physically possible to milk a cat but would you really think that they would bottle it and sell it at the grocery store?
