THESE HILARIOUS snaps reveal warning signs that give off entirely the wrong message.
Such signs are normally put up to give useful advice on a potential danger or need-to-know information – but sometimes they warrant a double take.
This selection of rib-tickling signage put together by Drivepedia showcases some of those warning messages that fall wide of the mark.
No birds allowed
Facebook
If only gulls could read, this one might have paid attention to this sign banning birds… or maybe not
Parents beware
Facebook
If ever there was a reason not to leave the kids unattended, the prospect of caffeine-fuelled little ones high on puppy-owning life would surely be it
End of the road
Facebook
Heading for a new life, or just another dead end? This sign will help you decide
Shotgun this parking spot!
Facebook
Frantically looking for the parking attendant to make sure you don’t get a ticket? No need to worry, illegally parked cars will be just fine! Or possibly fined…
Mixed signal
Facebook
A visit to this health centre isn’t exactly appealing – although we are sure the level of care would be top notch!
Engage brain please
Facebook
That looks like some pretty hazardous piece of kit behind that panel – so it’s probably for the best to get in quick with a warning that human brain power is needed to operate it safely
No lengthy PDAs here
Facebook
The creator of this sign warns amorous couples this is not the place to stop if you will be kissing for longer than three minutes
Diving prohibited
Facebook
Budding Tom Daleys had better not start practising their pikes and swallow dives in here – it’s shallow water that might cause permanent injury don’t you know!
To stop, or not to stop?
Facebook
This is a sign that can’t make up its mind – to stop or not to stop, that is the question
Steak a good, hard look
Facebook
That’s one way to make a point – this sign might be brutally honest, but it definitely hammers home not to cross the safety barriers into the tiger enclosure
Wrong side of the tracks
Facebook
West Coast Express in Canada took a sarcastic tone with this sign that reminds passengers not to wander onto the train tracks
Concealed entrance ahead
Facebook
How many people walked into this glazed door before the shop manager decided drastic action was needed with this unmissable sign?
Get the point across
Facebook
A blunt performance review can be just what’s needed – but did the whole town need to know about Abby’s rubbish track record on showing up for work?
Careful drivers welcome
Facebook
This driver must have just missed this sign thanking them for driving carefully, because they rolled off the road into the grass verge right after it
If it looks like a door, sounds like a door and opens like a door, it probably is a door. Or not, as this sign is eager to point out
Animal indigestion
Facebook
The creators of this sign definitely have their animals at heart – this cheeky sign warns they might get sick if humans fall over the fence and get eaten
