These are all great, but the "Please don't talk to me" sign is my favorite!

jaz@octoberfarm said...

Marie Smith said...

The cat was my favourite though the last one was a close second.

Mistress Maddie said...

Caution:Do Not Swallow?!?!?!?!?!? Could someone be that dumb?

And the Billboard is a good one!!!!

All of those appeal to me! Good way to start the day. -Jenn

Old Lurker said...

That's not the end the coat hanger goes into!

(Sigh. Too soon?)

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Old Lurker -- Oh, you're bad. BAD with a capital B.

Liz Hinds said...

I hope these are genuine! I love the warning on the machine. And I love it when manufacturers give that little extra like funny advice.

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

Hahahaha
OMG the CAT!!

XOXO

Marcia LaRue said...

OMG ... I love them all! LOL

Lady M said...

Hah - that tag in the pink sweater is brilliant!

Jamie Ghione said...

Love the cat.

BootsandBraids said...

"No flip" has me in stitches.

e said...

Solid lolz, D! I'm off to make some glorious new mistakes...

Mike said...

Those 5 minute segments could add up to a looong day.

Unknown said...

A long time ago I found a company that makes and prints industrial safety and warning signs. Their site had a 'make your own sign' web app that let you make anything you wanted with the official pictograms and all

I was able to seriously embrace my inner 12YO boy :-)

Thanks for the warning about swallowing hangers. I learned that mistake the hard way!

These are all so good. The billboard is hilarious. But CAT is my favorite.

The Blog Fodder said...

Cat and don't flip. Everywhere a sign, do this, don't do that.

Mr. Shife said...

I like them all, but, oh, how I adore the clothes tag with "For the worst results." Thank you, Debra.

The Happy Whisk said...

I love the for best and for worst results. What a hoot!

angela said...

You have to wonder why some of these signs were necessary in the first place.
Love the cat. I’m going to show my hubby and son who work on big machines. They’ll get a laugh

Travel said...

For every warning sticker in the US, there was someone that stupid, and a lawyer will to take the case.

River said...

"Do not talk to me" should have been hung around the neck of a girl I used to work with. I swear she could talk nonstop even underwater!

baili said...

don't talk to me reminds wife of my brother who is so well known for her long talks that if she gets in during her house chore the chore is messed up or pending always :)

Polly said...

ha, ha, brilliant, I love the cat and 5 minute ones!

John M said...

I have a brother-in-law who won't stop talking when you wet him on the phone. Expect an hour or two!

Kay G. said...

Oh that last one really made me giggle! Thanks!

peppylady (Dora) said...

I all most miss the pretty little yellow kitty.
Coffee is on, and stay safe.

Kirk said...

First picture at the top. Is that what Robert Frost really meant by The Road Not Taken?

Bill Lisleman said...

great sign collection.

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign. Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind. Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
As you probably know - lyrics by a Canadian group, Five Man Electrical Band.

Martha said...

These are hilarious! The one with not swallowing the hanger. BAHAHAHAHA

Busy Bee Suz said...

All of these are hilarious. Thanks for the giggles!

This N That said...

Alison said...

I relate to the "do not talk to me" sign far too well!

I am guilty of not paying attention to signs.

yellowdoggranny said...
