Safety sign mocked for warning of death AND a €50 fine
Twitter users were amused by unfortunate punishment
THIS ridiculous safety sign has been mocked online as it says opening a box will result in ";Death by Electrocution and a €50 fine".
An image of the illogical sign was shared to Twitter by Irish journalist Sarah-Jane Murphy who wrote: "Is death not punishment enough?"
Not only should death be sufficient punishment for the foolish opening of the electrical box, but the deceased offender would then apparently be liable for a fine.
The tweet, posted on Wednesday, has amassed 3.8k likes and 460 retweets, as well as some hilarious comments.
Kieth Kelly wrote: "Who gets paid to write these signs?" alongside an image of a sign which reads: "Not only will this kill you it will hurt the whole time you're dying".
Tom Connors also shared a similar joke: "A doctor gave a man 24hrs to live, he couldn’t pay his bill so the doctor gave him another 24hrs".

Paul Coles noted: "Funerals are expensive enough without a hefty fine to pay".
