35 Funny signs with stories behind them: 'We are short-staffed... If you run out of patience, ask for an application'

There's a story behind these signs, and we'd love to talk to the people who made their existence necessary! 

I love when stores put up signs that are so specific that you can tell exactly which questions the employees are tired of answering. There's one from a coffee shop where you can tell the baristas have had enough. It's a cafe where they don't have any flavors for the coffee. No, they don't make frappuccinos. They just have espresso and coffee and water, and you can tell from the frustration embedded in the ALL CAPS sign that they can't handle any more questions. The next time Linda comes into the cafe asking for a hazelnut oat milk latte, the baristas are going to flip their lids! 

One place that sells electronics had to put up a sign warning people that they certainly can not and should not buy a male-male cable connector. That's right — they're looking to plug both ends of something into the wall, I guess? These dummies have no idea what they want, and at least now, those workers can just gesture to the sign and let them figure it out on their own. 

Check out a bunch of intriguing and laugh-out-loud signs below. Then, check out the "worst pizza I've seen in my life," and other pizza oddities that ruined dinnertime.
