Signs of the times
Have you noticed any particularly silly signs?
Like on a packet of peanuts "may contain nuts" may, MAY ?
On the coffee machine "warning dispenses hot liquid" it had better give me hot coffee !
Post away, here's my first one ...
This was the third one we passed that stated the obvious - do the highways agency think we are so dumb they need signs to tell us it's foggy ?

Re: Signs of the times
I don't know if it qualifies as silly, so much as interesting and unique:

Pretty funny timing. I shot this this afternoon and I was wondering if there was a sign thread.

Re: Signs of the times
i love the "no left turn on red" at stop lights. as in, if the sign weren't there, it would be ok to do it.
i think there was also a court case a couple years back where a guy sued hood because he was lactose intolerant and the milk bottle didn't say "contains dairy products" and won.

Re: Signs of the times
Actually, in Oregon you can make a left turn against a red light if you're either going from a one-way road to a one-way road, or from a two-way road to a one way road. I only know that last one because I recently had to re-take the written exam, and it was the only question I missed. In light of this, those signs make more sense.

If the Red Bull team shop is called "BULLSHOP" what do they call the toilet ?

Michael, yours really cracked me up. The brake lights really added something extra. A OMG factor.

Re: Signs of the times
This isn't a silly sign. As a mater of fact it's pretty common around our neck of the woods. If you know what good for you you watch out for these signs. You can come up on one of these rigs in a hurry and they are not moving very fast.

Same here in Illinois, unless one of those signs is posted. That, or I've been lucky. :)
Great idea for a thread - funny ones so far!

Re: Signs of the times
I wish I had a photo of it, its hard to shoot while driving, but while they were working on a freeway off ramp that had two lanes, there was a sign on the left that said, "Left lane closed ahead", and right across from it there was another sign that read, 'Right lane closed ahead"
-
Re: Signs of the times
I couldn't figure this one out - to me it doesn't make sense........am I missing something?
I couldn't stop to shoot.
Not sure the official name is, but there are new digital above-the-freeway signs all over NJ now. Twice I've seen this one that read:
"For emergencies, road construction and delays ahead: connect to "njroad.....com"
(not the correct website).
Now, do they want me to turn on my laptop and connect to their website to get this information? Duh!!!!!!!!!

Re: Signs of the times
Michael, that sign made me laugh. One of the best ones I can recall was on a Superman Halloween costume for a kid that stated Wearing this costume does not give you the power to fly, or something to that effect.
Cheers,

Re: Signs of the times
What a fun thread this is!
This pic was taken at Baker Street underground station in London. The walls are decorated with tiles depicting the pipe-smoking detective who lived just around the corner. The signs made me giggle. :D

Re: Signs of the times
I saw a couple signs on the interstate on the way home from Wyoming this week that said something like: "Road Closed Ahead When Flashing" but there were no lights on the sign to flash. Wish I would have got a pic...

Re: Signs of the times
And the answer is yes you can. Nice going Cathy. Good to have you over here on the dark side. Now get on the horn to Dana and get her great sign posted to this thread.

Re: Signs of the times
Oh Larry...she did this just for ME. So that she can teach ME how to do it. Her personal lesson will be coming as soon as she finishes dinner (the things I go through for you) dana
P.S. I have never had such a tuff time posting to any thread.

I got faith in you Dana. You can do it and with Cathy by your side there isn't anything you can't do. Once I get you posting over here you'll be the Queen of PR no doubt in my mind.

Larry....you will never know what torture this Yo woman has just put me through to get this dumb picture posted. First the picture is too large (even tho its the same one thats in the gallery)....does this mean I have to reduce anything I post in a forum down smaller then I already have it? This may be my last trip into the "dark side" ..and it may not be..lol. Thanks for pushing me Larry...you have been so great with the encouragment.
dana
P.S. thanks so much Cathy for hanging in there with me.

Re: Signs of the times
You the "MAN", arr I mean "Woman" Dana. Once you've done it it's old hat from here on. I expect to see lots of your great photos here on Viewfinder from now on. More people here need to get to know you!

Re: Signs of the times
LOL!
Thats just what parents DON'T Want!
My parents, at least.
The Puppy would be fine with me, but I would never give a kid that much caffeine.
I can't remember who, but somebody on here took this picture. I remember seeing it in a thread and saved it.

Re: Signs of the times
Welcome to the "Dark Side" Dana!!! That is a great sign!!!
Since you are a regular poster to the gallery, you can link your photos right from your gallery to your posts in the Forums. I don't know how large the files are that you post in the gallery but it's really easy to link them to the fourm once you do it once or twice.

Re: Signs of the times
Considering our privacy laws, I thought this sign was funny...taken from a Main Street sidewalk.

Actually, this is not really that weird, as there are places where you can turn left on red. One way onto one way comes to mind. Also, many think they can turn left on a red arrow, when the regular light is green...
Keep in mind a lot of these signs are not really directed at the driver, but rather so the cops can prove they were in violation in court...

Not sure if the Pizza sign counts but it just shows the Welsh sense of humor.

The second sign is in Weymouth and is pretty obvious.
