I see keep out signs as suggestions more than actual orders. Like “dry clean only.”

[–]Whaines 52 points53 points ago

This shirt is dry clean only, or in other words "dirty".

[–]timmurphysblackwife 11 points12 points ago

Escalators can never break down. The sign should say ESCALATORS TEMPORARILY STAIRS. Sorry for the convenience.

[–]IWantSpaceships 14 points15 points ago

My hotel doesn't have a 13th floor because of superstition, but come on, people on the 14th floor, you know what floor you're really on. "What room are you in?" "1401" "No you're not! Jump out the window, you will die earlier"

[–]MrHardcore 2 points3 points ago

Suddenly, 1408 makes so much more sense...

[–]Kwurty 1 point2 points ago

I thought the whole 13 parts of it were pretty much thrown at you, especially in the short story.

[–]chemicaltoilet5 0 points1 point ago

Usually there actually is a floor between the 12th and 14th. Buildings use it as a mechanical floor. But yeah they probably pick 13 because they figure other people do not want to live there or work there, or something related to superstition.

[–]funketobiasdr 4 points5 points ago

I'm pretty sure buildings usually just skip 13 when numbering floors. Having a mechanical floor would probably be the exception.

[–]MayorEmanuel 3 points4 points ago

Stairs that have awkwardly high steps.

Except for when they are actually being fixed that shit will fuck you up.

Broken escalators can kill you. Mitch liked to live dangerously.

[–]ginroth 0 points1 point ago

My problem with that joke is that it isn't convenient.

[–]SecondToNone 3 points4 points ago

Not as convenient as an escalator, but more convenient than not being able to get to the next floor.

I tried to google the quote (I just watched that episode yesterday), failed, then realized it had already been posted. Mission accomplished, I guess.

Ignoring keep out signs in Texas is a good way to get dead.

That's what my brother says about stop signs, then again he is an Asian driver.

[–]inevitable_deletion 0 points1 point ago

In Harvard Square it is impossible to park, however there is a church that has several street parking spots with a sign that says "Please leave spots open for clergy." In my opinion, any sign that says please might as well not be a sign at all.

[–]joeromag 0 points1 point ago

I expected this, but I didn't expect it to be the top comment.

[–]VladDaImpaler 0 points1 point ago

thank didn't know the reference, googled and i saw doctor #10, but no way to figure out how to find a clip

[–]b3n 0 points1 point ago

No problem. It's really bad quality but the only one I could find (outside of iPlayer of course).

[–]dontbthatguy 53 points54 points ago

I like "THIS DOOR IS ALARMED." With the question of "what startled it?" written underneath it.

[–]NotaMethAddict 53 points54 points ago

[–]dontbthatguy 16 points17 points ago

That's what being meth free gets you. The ability to summon an internet picture at a moments notice. Impressive sir.

[–]Source_14 3 points4 points ago

I think if we just stayed on reddit for a few more hours, that picture would be back on the front page again.

The first time I saw the that the added bit was "...but stoic", which I felt was very door-appropriate.

[–]Wiki_pedo 0 points1 point ago

In North America, there are signs on the wooden walls around construction sites saying "Post No Bills". In London, I saw one saying "Bill Posters Will Be Prosecuted" and underneath, someone had written "Bill Posters Is Innocent".

[–]IDoThatToooo 1 point2 points ago

Person here. Can confirm. I have also seen construction sites and graffiti.

[–]drunk_otter 21 points22 points ago

Huh - I always just try and enter the sign, because fuck them.

[–]GreyCastle 11 points12 points ago

Enter the sign - fuck them

A sign fetish. That's a new one.

[–]Squalor- 3 points4 points ago

Slippery When Wet

Drunk_Otter's favorite sign.

[–]danrennt98 5 points6 points ago

/r/firstworldanarchists What do they do in this situation? Enter or not?

[–]damontoo 0 points1 point ago

And suddenly a TSA asshole is tazing you in the back for no reason!

[–]IDoThatToooo -3 points-2 points ago

Sign-fucker here. Can confirm that sign-fucking requires first penetrating or entering the sign.

This reminds me of the time I was hanging out with this girl that I really really liked. We were pretty young, but I can remember it like it was yesterday. My dad used to be involved in our local government, so it's safe to say I was able to pull that card to get lucky with the ladies.

Anyway, I was always a little bit of a trouble maker. My dad tried to keep close watch on me. He even hired somebody in his security team, Rowan, just to look after me. Rowan was good at reporting back to him, but he was also kind of old and pretty easy to fool. I was able to sneak around without him realizing it.

Anyway, this girl that I used to play around with a lot liked to wrestle around a little bit. I was at that awkward age, so she used to always get the better of me. Even though she was always pinning me, it was still pretty hot, cause I'd have this beautiful girl on top of me. So one day we were wrestling around and I decided I wanted to show off a little bit and take her to an area much like what was probably behind the sign in the picture I'm commenting on.

I was pretty much warned to never ever enter that area, but it was too tempting. The girl and I got the slip on Rowan and headed straight into the big "Do Not Enter" zone of my life. We weren't even there for two minutes before I came across my Uncle. My uncle never really liked my dad or me. I didn't understand it, but I was young back then.

Anyway, it turns out the place wasn't that great. We got chased around by a couple retards, but we made it back home.. That's when life got really crazy. I watched my dad die right in front of me, then these two stoners took me in. I lived with them for the better part of my pubescent years, worry free. Eventually I found my way back to my old home, overthrew my uncle, married my childhood sweetheart, and became King of Pride Rock.

Realized it was Lion King here.

When I see a sign like that, I enter the shop and let the owner know they are seriously underestimating the usefullness of the door... like by a hundred percent.

"Road Closed" read the sign that my high school government teach saw blocking where they were building the 805 back in the '70s. He wanted to see the construction so he walked passed it to take a look. A cop caught him and cited him for trespassing or something like that (he told us this story in 1997). He went to court to dispute the ticket, arguing that "Road Closed" does not mean "Do not enter" and the judge threw out the case.

[–]everest84 0 points1 point ago

[–]darthmangini 0 points1 point ago

When I see Do Not Enter, I think of the Beavis and Butthead where they are watching an Ernest movie and Ernest reads the sign as "Donut Entry." Ernest then walks through the door and falls out of the statue of liberty's nose.

[–]Vee_Vee -2 points-1 points ago

How the fuck has anyone not seen this? It's on the front page every day?

[–]mamanakis -1 points0 points ago

Or the sign that says

      NO ENTRANCE

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY

I read that to mean only authorized personnel are prohibited; everyone else come right in.

[–]yesukai -1 points0 points ago

Exactly. There is no authority without force. Unless there's someone there with a club and cattle prod taser, then the rules are just polite suggestions.

[–]davidaimes 0 points1 point ago

The sign says you got to have a membership card to get inside.

[–]mattattaque 0 points1 point ago

I do this all the time. I once walked into the inner workings of a hospital by doing this. There was access to a whole bunch of stuff I didn't know how to work or manipulate at the time but I think I could have shut off the water system to the entire dental clinic. Do not enter or personnel only signs to me mean walk the fuck in and pretend to know some shit you don't. I do this all the time at work with IT but I actually know some shit. If I make a request to IT and I don't have what I need, I walk into their office and stand over them till they do it. Inside joke for the last four letters of the last sentence.

Watch out now, are you suppose to be some bad ass? Maybe the sign is there for your safety. What happens if you do enter somewhere that says do not enter and just fall for hours into a huge pit? Not very bad ass now huh?
