Over some streets in the downtown area of the city where I live, there are covered pedestrian bridges that connect some of the buildings...one of them had a sign on a railing; it said something to the effect of "ORDINANCE #297582: DO NOT STAND, LEAN, OR SIT ON THE RAILINGS OR FLOOR". I don't think that was the exact wording (or the exact number) but I do remember that someone scratched underlines under the words "STAND" and "FLOOR"...and with good reason.

That's quite odd Maybe they meant for it to mean that you were'nt allowed to stand on the railings, and you couldn't lean or sit on the floor, but they worded it kind of wrong, as is obvious Then, how exactly would you go about leaning on the floor? Lay down and prop yourself up on your elbow or something? That's the only thing I can think of

Either way, the 'don't stand on the floor' thing is quite weird You'd have to walk through on your hands, or go through on a bike if they were to take that seriously.

Any other weird signs they have there? It'd be interesting to find out if there are any more

Meh, no biggie.

They meant not to stand, lean or sit on railings, and not to sit on floor. Most people could identify that.

The sign in my avatar is real, and I find it more humorous than both examples presented.

Seems like a fairly ordinary sign to me. A bit odd, yes, but they had their reasons to emphasize certain points (probably because nobody read the sign in the past).

I demand picture proof. Considering you live there, this should not be hard to provide.

That is so fake.
Else they wouldn't have written "Also, the bridge is out ahead" in such small letters.

Kefka, I have seen signs like that one as well here. I use them all the time. If I don't want to go inside and eat, but I want to sit and eat away from home, I go through the drive thru, then I park in drive thru parking only spaces.

Dammit, why did you have to give away the secret? You just broke up all the humor

The Good Luck sign, while likely false, is still pretty funny

At the dump (last time I was there, but that was a few years ago) there's a "No Dumping" sign right in front of the trash pile. XD

I saw a great road sign in Ireland.... there was road construction going on and a bridge was out, and there was a sign next to the road to the bridge that just said "Don't even think about it." And a few km later there was another sign that said "Plant Crossing." Unfortunately I didn't get pictures of either of them.
