    I have to take a moment and laugh at some of the signs I’ve had to place in my office over the years. Some of these seem like common sense to me, but sometimes commons sense isn’t so common. Feel free to add some signs you’ve seen that have made you chuckle!

    “Automatic lights. Please do not turn off.”

    “Cigarette butts only. Absolutely no garbage.”

    “Visitors and trainees: If coffee needs to be made, please see an Office Employee.”
    (Who doesn’t know how to make a stinkin’ pot of coffee??)

    “Please make sure all white out/correction fluid is completely dry before making any copies.”

    “Place face up to copy.”

    “Please do not use excessive force when pressing the buttons. Thank you.”

    “Place face down when faxing.”

    “If [bathroom door is] locked, please wait. Thank you.”

    “Please remember to check your food on a regular basis. If you choose to leave food for more than a day mark it with your initials so you do not forget about it. If any food is found to be expired or moldy it will be thrown away along with the container!”

    “Please do not put incoming mail into the basket. Basket is for outgoing mail only.”
    (This one is in place for our random mail carriers).

    “To ensure the functionality of this restroom, please flush after each use. Thank you.”

    And my personal favorite as of late:
    “Watch out for goose! If you need assistance, please call xxx.” hah

    HA! Bathroom signs are always humorous! One of my favs: “We aim to please. You aim, too, please.”

    How about:

    “We already have “P” in our Pool,
    So please us the restroom”

    I saw this sign outside a hair salon on a sandwich sidewalk sign “We do men–$16.95”. Almost stopped to ask for an explanation. whistling

    At L&D #3…

    What’s more humorous is that there isn’t a crane there (now).

    at an airport I frequent there is a sign in the restroom that says:
    if you have a short pitot tube,please stand closer as the next pilot might not have a float plane endorsement on his license.

    Sometimes the “simple signs” are too complex to understand. I found this diagram added at a launch of one of my favorite lakes near Boulder Junction

    Ah yes,
    The old Phrase “Common sense isn’t as common as we think it is”!

    This was not an office sign but on a billboard coming from MI going into IN.
    From a urologist.

    Vasectomy sale….”Buy one get one free.”

    I had to pull over as I was laughing too hard to drive.

    Sorry I could not resist adding it…

    Yikes! That poor shoreline! Is that in a no wake zone?

    No Sharon, there is no law that says they can’t make a wake. It’s on the Mississippi in front of the resort.

    That boat should be on the great lakes or ocean.

    Well, in the last place I worked, there were quite a few whom didn’t know or didn’t want to make Coffee. Many would not check the pot carefully and start a new pot, only to have it overflow. Other’s would leave it with less than a cup.

    I guess they were too dumb or too self important to make coffee!
