Everyone is capable of making a complete blunder every now and again, but sometimes there are subtle warning signs that these blunders may have been coming for a while!
So, from people who cocked up very important billboards to individuals who inadvertently fell in love with a koala, here are 16+ people who warned us of their stupidity.
RELATED STORIES
“The sign I keep on my workbench.”
“Look, why bother going to a doctor for glasses when you can stare into one of these lazers!?
“Did it work for you Dave?”
“Who said that…?”
“Who’s an idiot?”
At first I thought that this had to be intentional, but the longer I look at it the more convinced I am that it sadly isn’t.
“I am glad they warned me.”
The fact that they had to put this sign up suggests that humanity may well be on the way out.
“Mess with the meow meow…”
“I want a tattoo that tells everyone right away that I am a buffoon.”
“Say no more.”
“My local facebook marketplace. Dude wants £50 for this.”
If making this in the first place wasn’t a signifier of insanity, then charging £50 for it definitely is!
“Their idiots.”
I wonder how many people applied to Grantham University the year that this abomination went out?
“Sometimes you just got to get er’ done!”
This guy has a remarkable faith in his shirt! I love that the fella on the left looks like he cannot believe what is happening either.
“My response to this idiotic poster.”
One person pointed out that the person who made the original sign should clearly have “educationed” harder.
“Don’t drink and drive…”
I mean, it gets the point across and it isn’t wrong! I’d like it if all warning labels were this abrasive!
A Close Watch!
Do you really need to say both “Warning” and “Alert”? Don’t they kind of mean the same thing?
Does This Need To Be Said?
“Sir, can I have a word?”
“Of course officer, what about?”
“Well, it’s about the sixteen axes that you’re waving around.”
“The sign never said anything about axes!”
“Official looking warning sign I found on the wall of an old building today.”
Make sure that you don’t grasp it anything less than firmly, otherwise you will not meet a deity of your choosing!
“The condescending warning label on these snowboarding gloves.”
Everyone has an experience of being terrified by seeing a child putting a plastic bag on their head. One parent added, “I’ll never forget when my 2-yr-old came running into the room with a plastic grocery bag over his whole head because it turns out 2-yr-olds need to be told not to wrap their heads in plastic, and my son thought he had a hilarious costume that would delight me.”
Is That Enough Warning?
I find that shooting flames from the front of your bike is also a good way to get walkers to move out of the way.
“Important warning at the Los Angeles Zoo.”
This is slightly less surprising when you find out that this person was actually going out with a Koala. Actually, that is probably even more surprising.
Natural Selection…
You could probably put “…that is natural selection” as a warning on most products now that I think about it.
“Oh yes let’s lock the emergency stop button.”
“Well we needed to lock it up as too many people were pressing it.”
“Yep, that seems like the right approach.”
“Turns out I’m not very good at online shopping.”
They clearly should have bought two and stacked them, that is surely what they were meant to do?
Might Have A Hard Time Reading That Flat Braille…
The times when you would need to be reading that message aren’t occasions when you want to be confused either!
“This isn’t even my final form.”
That guy either has a lot of faith in his creation or simply doesn’t give a rat’s ass about his existence on this planet!
They Got Enough Stuff In There?
I know that people will do some mad things in the spirit of only making “one trip” but this is too far!
“DO NOT BLOCK!”
Do you think that they were maybe not meant to block these things? It’s hard to tell, if only they had been more clear!
“Good To Know!”
“Pfft, that sign doesn’t apply to me as I’ve already burnt my eyes out!”
“How… How are you reading it then?”
“By God, Dave, my eyes have grown back! Now I can enjoy this UV light all over again!”
“Steve, no!”
“We’ve been warned y’all.”
“Look, officer, I’m not on my phone so it’s not like I’m doing anything illegal!”
“You really don’t know the law, do you?”
“Really, UPS?”
If only they had written “Do not bend” on it in giant letters! It doesn’t help that the recipient is being laughed at by that fella on the left either!
“For my sake and yours, I beg you…”
“What does that sign say?”
“I don’t know, better get right up behind them and check it out! Oh… Dear God, reverse!”
“I’m concerned about the letter spacing. What did she do?”
She must have done something spectacular to incur the wrath of everyone on Earth! Sheesh, I need to know what she did!
“So, is the red one safe to insert?”
I guess that there is only one way to find out! Although, I sincerely cannot recommend trying it!
“My bike was stolen today. I don’t know who the bigger idiot was.”
I like to think that the thief saw this combination but felt that they may as well use their bolt cutters as they went to the trouble of bringing them!
“What were the installers thinking while installing this?”
I am going to go right ahead and say that absolutely nothing was going through their heads when they were installing this…not one thing.
