Ah, signs! Those pesky little reminders of what not to do!

They're like a wise and witty older sibling, always there to keep us from getting into trouble. Without signs, we'd be like a bunch of wild, mischievous monkeys, running around and doing whatever we wanted without any sort of control.

Signs are especially important when it comes to safety. They remind us to look both ways before we cross the street, to wear a helmet when riding a bike, and not to touch the hot stove.

Without signs, who knows what kind of havoc we could wreak! Signs also help us stay on the right side of the law.

They let us know where we can and can't park, what speed limits to follow, and when it's time to put out that cigarette. By following the signs, we can all be better citizens.

No matter where you look, there are always examples of "trashy" signage. From baby changing stations to handwritten posters on telephone poles, it seems like everywhere you turn, there is some kind of sign with a story behind it.

Sadly, that story is not always a good one. If you want some life advice, don't be the person who has to put up a sign like this. Some are funny, and some are confusing, but it's best to just avoid being in this kind of situation.

1. Thanks for stealing my laundry basket

2. No more Nick

3. Yes and No

4. Not here!

5. Yes, you have

6. Where, huh?

7. Please, don't

8. Please, stop asking

9. Multipurpose

10. Take a cup

11. Do not hit on our workers

12. Everything must go!

13. Be careful where you keep the money

14. Thank you

15. Alert the staff

16. Parking lot not for drug sales

17. We don't believe we had to make this sign

18. The patio is not a bathroom

19. Do not make threats

20. Keep your dog on leash

21. Well, this is disgusting

22. This is a good point

23. Use the utensils

24. Will kill you

25. Bathroom locked due to TikTok challenge

It's sad that people have become so careless and entitled that it's necessary to hang signs that remind them to pick up after themselves and to be polite. Imagine a world where people actually thought about the consequences of their actions and showed respect for others without needing to be told.

It's a shame that we have to be so direct with people, but the truth is, some people just need a little reminder that their actions have an impact on the world around them. So, the next time you see a sign that asks you to be courteous, take a moment to reflect on the importance of being a responsible and respectful person.

Don't just ignore it. Consider it your friendly reminder to be safe and smart, and do the right thing.

After all, signs are there to help us, not to hinder us! And, most importantly, don't do stupid things that make people put on stupid signs.

It is not that hard to be nice.
