Daft Signs

[hopalong]

What daft sign had you seen?  The WH Smiths store in Glasgow has a sign in the lift that says anyone under 18 must be accommpanied by an adult!! How many 17 year old goes with an adult?   The automatic toilet says children under 10 must be accommpanied by an adult.  Can u imagine a 9 year old doing the toilet infront of his/her parent?

Classic one, on a bag of peanuts : "Warning this product may contain traces of nuts " . Well, thanks, would never have guessed ! In the DIY department of a supermarket in France, on a pair of very big, sharp hedge-trimmers : "warning : not suitable for children". Really ? Too bad , I was gonna get those for my 2 year old little neighbour.And also : " for external use only", on a hair dryer..Ah ! Do I love those !

Glasgow must be the city for it - if you go to The Forge shopping centre by Parkhead, there is a sign on the way in that says that the shopping centre is a no-smoking area. Underneath it says "Smoking is only permitted in the following areas" - then there is a list of cafe areas, and the last line of the list reads "in shops." 

Although I am not a smoker myself, I would love to light up in the middle of H&M, just to see what happens.

actually, I've just spotted another one. On my keyboard, there is a wee sticker which reads "For comfortable and safe use, please read the Safety and Comfort Guide."

Well it's all those "Disabled Lifts" I always see if I can find one that isn't disabled!

A sign post near me points the way to the "Secret Nuclear Bunker".

Safety notice on the escalators in Dublin Airport-

Persons not familiar with escalators please use nearby lifts or stairs. No unaccompanied children or trolleys allowed on escalators.

Makes me laugh every time!

The main Post Office in my local town has a sign hanging from the ceiling which says Stationary. I always feel like standing still underneath it, and not buying the envelopes etc. Well, I think it's daft...........................

On the instructions with some hair dye I read

"NOT FOR INTERNAL USE."

Does anyone have hairy tonsils which are going grey?????

I don't know if they are still there, but about a month ago here in the Scots enclave of Corby, Northants, WH Smiths had some of their signs in Welsh (with no translation.) I asked one of the assistants about them and he said they had no idea why.........

In a train station, just outside Copenhagen, called Hellerup there is a goods lift. Short for Hellerup (apparently) is Hell, goods is gods in Danish, hence the sign: Gods elevator - Hell
