In honor of deb55: street sins (ok, signs) that make you laugh, think, go wtf? or

[Tadpole Raisin]

otherwise. Strange translations count as do other signs.

Mine first: Thickly Settled. I was driving yesterday when I saw this and laughed because I always think this is how I feel as I get older. I am thickly settling.

But gee the sign doesn’t have to rub it in!

[debm55]

1. Why thank you very much TadpoleRaisin

[Tadpole Raisin]

5. I'd reply more times to yours (which I find really entertaining) but I either come up with something right

away (rare) or I can’t decide or my mind goes blank - I can’t think at all.

At work people were told never to leave a birthday card on my desk because I’d spend so much time thinking about what I wanted to say that I didn’t sign it.

They would end up just bringing me the card last and when I looked up with an OMG look, what do I do they’d say Just. Sign. It.

[debm55]

22. That is very very funny. Tadpole Raisin

[Tadpole Raisin]

23. I'm still trying to think of a movie...

[boonecreek]

[Tadpole Raisin]

3. Seriously? Now that's a WTF! Or as someone said in a sitcom,

Why The Face?

[debm55]

4. HAHAHAH. that is funny, boonecreek

6. This sign does double duty

It also addresses one of my pet peeves.

[AllaN01Bear]

7. mine is when drivers pull across the the solid then dashed white lines . u r s upposed to be completly clear

of the lines as they are considered solid barriors . friend of mine got flunked on his drivers test that way.

[catbyte]

9. That is annoying, lol.

My other big one is folks driving slow in the passing lane. WE'RE NOT IN THE UK, PEOPLE! Sorry.

[AllaN01Bear]

10. motorcycles splitting lanes .

[Tadpole Raisin]

11. Or someone who pulls out real fast in front of you not even stopping (ok)

And then immediately decides to go half the speed limit (grrr).

[catbyte]

14. Or makes a left-hand turn 1/4 mile down the road.

Rowr, grrrr.

[Tadpole Raisin]

8. LOL! You have to wonder if someone crafty added that.

I’m with you on your pet peeve!!

[Scrivener7]

12. Speed hump. Because I'm a twelve-year-old at heart.

[Tadpole Raisin]

13. Maybe this is the same thing but I think we called that 'frost heaves'

and we would tell Mom - Speed up, speed up!!

Is that the same thing? If it is I’m with you!!

[Ptah]

15. Yikes!

[BOSSHOG]

16. EARTH BELOW

Sign I saw in Eskan Village Saudi Arabia near Riyadh. I don’t recall context but it was legitimate. Joint Tax Force Southwest Asia, Operation No Fly Zone. - Summer of 96.

[justaprogressive]

17. this one

[Tadpole Raisin]

19. The driver thought 'I'd like to be under the sea in an Octopuses garden

in the shade.’

I know that signs like that are supposed to be understood no matter what language you speak but if I was playing Family Feud, the home addition I’d never have an answer!!

Where is that?

[2naSalit]

18. A couple from...

When I was young:

Thickly Settled sign right next to an old cemetery.

On top of a gas station that had some kind of food service inside (I never stopped in) said;

Eat Here and Get Gas!

Both were in NH.

[Tadpole Raisin]

20. That gave me a chuckle! nt

[berniesandersmittens]

21. Unattended children will be taught swear words and given red bull

[ProfessorGAC]

24. Simple One We've Seen For Decades

Yellow sign says "Slow Children Present".
I always thought "Well tell them to move faster!"

[Harker]

25. My wife just rolls her eyes.

[FadedMullet]

26. I've always thought that the "Slow Children" were the ones who went to the "Slow School". No??

[yorkster]

27. First time I saw WRONG WAY GO BACK!

I was driving on the correct side of the highway exit ramp and was still briefly terrified when I saw that for the first time years ago.
