Really?

I'm amazed sometimes at the things I see posted on signs. It's not so much the actual posting but at the stupidity of people that somehow required the posting.
For instance at my work (where I can't take pictures) there is a sign posted by the cafeteria trays. It says, "Please do not use food service trays to sit on!" Really?
Seemed like common sense to me, but I guess not.

They also have a sign posted on the self service soda machine. As you may or may not know soda machines also dispense water. The sign says, "This is not a hand washing station. Please do not wash your hands here." This is not for our crackhead customers. This is for our employees.
Really?
Not to mention the water is ice cold.

I was amused by these two signs at the hospital when I took my mom out to the emergency room.

I just can't imagine the day when I think a plastic cup is something I should flush down the toilet, but apparently someone thought they should.


This one cracked me up. Is it really rocket science to figure this one out? You are in a room with three beds separated by curtains. Did you really think the curtains were a cone of silence? LOL.


I think one of my all time favorites, though, was the box I got when working at Joann's. The box contained two doll sized rocking chairs. On the bottom it said, "ATTENTION: Store personnel. Take product out of box and place on shelf."

I know I have a picture of it somewhere on my other computer, but I can't access it right now. This is why I am now going to leave and go buy myself an external hard drive. I want my pictures to be organized once and to all be in one location. I'm excited about this. No more having to figure out which computer and which file I need to go to to get the picture I want. YAY!

Those are good ones! I like watching for stupid signs.
I was up at one of our Northern lakes and was walking in the trees and they had a No Parking sign about 50 or 60 feet in from the road. It was a very nice sign made from stained and varnished logs and the words were actually carved into the wood. But it was surrounded by trees.
I too have a picture of it on my other computer.

LOL...buy an external harddrive. I'm learning mine today. I have already backed up everything from this computer.
