It's time to 'check out' these witty library signs from libraries nationwide.

Graphic designers have “off” days too. But sometimes these designs are so poorly done that I wonder if the designer was trying to do it badly on purpose.

Jobs, how do they work? These people made various levels of mistakes that they really should have caught before it went out to the public. Below are 30 people who had just one job to get right, and they couldn't even do that. The funniest versions of this to me are translators or transcribers who messed up. There are people who were writing copy, needed translation to another language, and somehow that never happened. Then you end up with TV captions of a person who says a Korean word, and the…

This week, I saw a tweet that perfectly encapsulates warning sign discourse. A millennial reposted a boomer meme that said the following: “If you think you are smarter than the previous generation…50 years ago the owners manual of a car showed you how to adjust the valves. Today it warns you not to drink the contents of the battery.” In response to this take, the millennia l captioned the meme with this. “Counter point: it only says that because the previous generation kept drinking the content…

There's a reason why everyone tells you to always read the label first. For one, as your mother probably told you growing up, you don't want to purchase, eat, wear, or try anything that might cause any damage whatsoever. However, in addition to that far more important reason, there's also the fact that if you don't read your signs and labels, you might be missing out on some quality content. I mean, there really is nothing quite like reading a sign and doing an immediate "Did I read that right?…

Seeing these badly designed items really makes you appreciate the well-designed things in the world. Great design is one of those things you don't always appreciate right away. For example, anyone could make a chair, but is it comfortable? If the design of that furniture is poor, you're going to know right away. The same goes for funny signs , which can sometimes spell out funny words unintentionally. Or maybe it's intentional, and the sign maker is just hoping for the right person to notice th…

From big bold fonts to screaming neon colors, these signs stand out in a number of ways. Some of which include ridiculous mottos, slogans, or plain ol' warnings that frankly, don't make any sense (Or do they?). I've come to wonder who double-checks these things before they're produced for the masses. I mean, there must be someone whose sole purpose is to check these things, right? Sounds like a boring job, so I wouldn't be surprised if they scribbled their signature on the checking document (or…

Ever since I was in high school, I've been obsessed with weird signs. My school had countless weird posters on the wall that were intended to motivate us, but all we did was make fun of them. The most iconic of them read this: 30 years from now, it won’t matter what shoes you wore, how your hair looked, or the jeans you bought. What will matter is what you learned and how you used it.

These amateur graffiti artists simply couldn't resist tweaking ordinary signs to be much funnier. Life is boring if you don't infuse art and chaos into it. These people below had a little too much fun doing some mild vandalism . No one is harmed by a few stickers or funny notes , after all! After you scroll through these great sign tweaks, check out this pizza party gone terribly wrong, thanks to a pizza parlor's dumb mistakes.

Some signs capture the truth in ways you could never have anticipated.

Whoever created these signs get an A+ for creativity. Some of them are dumb, some of them are clever, and some are plain offensive. Still, they leave little to the imagination. I wonder whose job it is to double-check these things or come up with the mottos. Who approved these for the masses? Maybe the job is so boring that it leaves no choice to the employee but to make their own life more interesting. A couple of these signs are oddly specific as if there is a very peculiar backstory… makes m…

It's often said that for every rule, there is a story. Someone, somewhere, did something, and someone else made certain that thing was never going to happen again. The same is often true for signs; no one goes around posting them at random. No, a sign is only posted with a purpose; just sometimes, it's incredibly vague or confusing as to what that purpose was or why it needed to be a purpose at all. Well, these signs are here, and they mean serious business. As I look at each of these, I can't…

Suggestive words and images are floating around us all the time, usually trying to sell us something or competing to capture our attention for one reason or another. Sometimes the intended message of a sign, advertisement, or slogan is totally eclipsed by an unintentional innuendo, like the time Jersey Mike's Subs tweeted, “how do you top your sub?” The dirty-minded immediately got the “accidental” subtext . Sometimes it's so obvious, it's hard to believe it was a mistake. Like, come on. Are yo…

As long as there are signs, there will always be fails

Signs are an important part of our societal structure. They provide incredibly important direction to passersby, whether or not the information provider is actually present. In a way, they're incredibly similar to an NPC in a video game whose sole purpose is to provide you with one line of dialogue that may or may not help you on your quest. Sometimes their instruction could point you to a cave filled with treasure, or provide you a clue as to where you should go next on your quest, but sometim…

Signs are an important tool that can be used to communicate vital information to individuals who might be passing by. This information can be incredibly pertinent, such as a warning about some danger that might be lurking just beyond their instructive posting. If you are incredibly near-sighted and have gotten lost while traversing the dessert wasteland of Arizona. Luckily you will find “Fall Warning" signs before you topple your way into one of America's most majestic landmarks, the Grand Cany…
