I am not sure what happened in the image on the sign, but if you are on a bike, you may want to avoid this bridge. Nothing says “welcome to danger” quite like a road sign that warns of a “Hazardous Bridge Ahead” but instead of a typical cautionary symbol, it features...
No, really? There’s something beautifully unnecessary about an “Out of Order” sign taped right above a lonely pipe sticking out of the wall where a sink used to be. The sink isn’t just broken—it’s gone, ripped out like it was abducted by a team of rogue plumbers in...
I think I will pay full price on this one. There it was, a beacon of marketing irony at CVS: a bright yellow sale tag proudly proclaiming “On Sale! $3.99”—right next to the original price of 99¢. That’s not just inflation; that’s robbery in broad daylight with...
It’s a dark twist no one saw coming—Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and Rabbit standing frozen in horror as they stare at a TV screen with a mugshot of their beloved Christopher Robin and the caption: “Convicted of Murder.” Pooh’s pot of honey is slipping from his paws,...
But I'm not sure is they only fix one "computer" I couldn’t help but chuckle when I saw the repair shop sign proudly advertising its services for “Vacuum cleaners, microwave ovens, turntables, and computer.” Not computers—just the one, singular, mysterious “computer.”...
There’s nothing quite like boarding an escalator at the airport, luggage in tow, only to notice that the advertisement running down the side features a giant airplane pointing nose-first toward the ground. Talk about confidence-inspiring travel marketing. Is this some...
You know who you are! There’s nothing quite like walking into a pharmacy and seeing a bright, cheerful sign welcoming you to the “Healthcare Essentials”—only to find a bowl of cookies sitting smugly between vitamins and painkillers. You came in expecting Band-Aids and...
As I stare at the blank wall-mounted “Evacuation Map” in our office building, I can’t help but wonder if it’s less of a safety tool and more of an existential statement. There it is, framed in glossy plastic, with no arrows, no floor plans, not even a “You Are Here”...
From a restaurant at JFK Airport. Ah, nothing like a bit of class-based irony to spice up your layover at JFK Airport. As one stumbles across a sign outside a restaurant that reads, “Seating for Upper-Crust Customers Only,” and suddenly, your economy-class ticket felt...

I wonder if they know any Window & Glass companies. There’s something poetically tragic about driving past a window-glass company and seeing several of their own windows broken, like a hairdresser with a bad haircut or a gym instructor out of breath after climbing...
I am a very good driver! I had to do a double-take when I saw it—a dog sitting proudly in the driver’s seat of a parked truck, paws resting on the steering wheel like he’d just finished parallel parking with the precision of a seasoned trucker. His expression was a...
