The Old Dog Discusses: Is This a Sign of The Times? Contest

in contest •  7 years ago  (edited)

Sometimes, when people act in an ignorant fashion their neighbors are forced to put up a sign. There is usually a very serious underlying problem behind the sign but I do often find them funny.

I Saw This One While Going For a Walk in a Nearby Town:


"Dear furry friend, tell your ignorant owner not to let you pee on my door (not even on the cement pillars at the sides)....thank you."


This homemade sign, while humorous, exposes an underlying problem!


Here's One I've Seen a Few Times:

This one is the sickest sign if you are green-minded:

Indeed that could be dangerous at times!

Hahaha!

It's common to find this one

Good one! It's sad that people even need to write that. Common sense and decency should make it unnecessary!

Here is the funny One

I love this sign!

Me too.

I couldn't read this sign, but the fish in these pipes sure were tasty.

This sign has me very curious. It seems to be telling the fish not to swim into the pipes!

Yeah, it is odd, but the live fish = dead fish message is pretty clear.

Here is the text translation according to Google.

Good one!

I wouldn't try it!

Here in Japan signs are rather cute even if they tend to lecture you. City office thinks people will be encouraged to keep the parks clean , if some cartoon dog tells them to take home their dog poo.

Nice approach!

...because women are always right!


Very nice bar in the center of Tallinn, Estonia with a lot of interesting and pretty funny staff inside.
One of most funniest is this sign on the way to WCs

Like this type of humor

Enjoy :)

Fantastic! :D

Good one!

Yes this is a good one ;) !

You don't want to try a one star toilet.

How may stars would a tree in the woods be?

Ask the bears :-)

haha :) this is a funny approach!
I will follow this contest. I am sure that great things will be shared :)

Maybe you'll find something that you can share.

This one is just like that of my school, lol

Ha ha that's nice sign... Lol :D

Who knows what's going on when you need a sign like that!

This is an African habit, I have been told, Not everywhere of course ! but in the building you see this sign many times, or a sign where the open the seat before standing on it. It actually is said to be a much better position for doing the job, but it gets a shitty thing when you can not hold your balance. :-)

Lmao 😂😂

Saw this one in Iceland last summer.
Toilet00a.jpg

Hmmm that one tells a tale!

they could use that in Crete, we had easter with the family , the whole village is outside then and everyone has got his own food, we sat with about 20 on the edge of the small orange plantation, when a elderly lady squoted down in about 20 meters from us, for sure she thought when I do not see them they do not see me ! But we did. :-( SHe actually was sitting in the tavern of this village where were 6 toilets! I then thought someone with a normal function mind would not do that. She must have alzheimers or so so disgusted by it.

Saw this one while window shopping in New Mexico.

That’s funny. I wonder what was behind the idea of writing that.

Hi,
Here is my entry:

Yes and I'll flip a coin with you to decide who pays. Heads I win and tails you lose.

OK?

Sure, sounds good :D

Hi @kus-knee! Here's one of the strangest/most disturbing signs I've seen over here in the UK. My fella spotted it on the wall of the bus station on our first visit to Sheffield together. As a non-native, he was absolutely horrified! It makes one wonder where exactly one just arrived at - I mean, what kind of people are you likely to be mixing with as you step into the city?!!! NOT really the welcome he was looking for! :o

spitandrun.jpg

You are right. It is strange and disturbing!

This is one of my favorite... I would say that, lol

Good one! Thanks for sending it in!

All our beaches and parks in Vancouver are meant to be non-smoking ... once upon a time this applied to cigarette smoking and now pot smoking as well. Marijuana smoke has some quite unpleasant effects on me and makes it very difficult for me to enjoy a park or a beach. Alas, people have a tendency to outright dis-regard the bylaw and the bylaw is rarely enforced, which means they get the park and I have to move on. Not nice when you consider that also means my 8-year-old also doesn't get the park or the beach and has to move on.

The no-smoking sign is however quite cute and my son loves it. I'll get a shot on our walk today:) Hope you are having a great day:)

Looking forward to your photo!

As promised ... I'm think if they don't want people to smoke, they probably shouldn't make it look so cool:)

True!

Well Old Dog a fine contest here!

I think this is my fave that I have:

P1150641.JPG

Funny! I'm glad that you added it here. I saw your post but I wasn't sure if you had forgotten to put one in this thread.

Hahha, this is really cool.
I think they are right at their point because peeing of dog would have created a lot of mess and problems for them.

I would like to put this sign in front of my house but with a different writing.

Hey my sweet neighbour, please don't park your two wheeler here otherwise next time you might not find it's wheels :p

Let's hope that it would work!

Can't say anything for sure about it but I will definitely give it a try and will tell you about the result.s

Hahaha it makes me smile but yes sometimes we need to take hard steps to realize someone their mistake!

Yup tell them not do these types of mistake..and give him a warning..in shape of advertizment.

True!

My entry, it was taken in Székesfehérvár, at a drugstore.
"Please, not (pee) on the wall!"

I received the trade cards, here is my post of it: https://steemit.com/steemittradecards/@kalemandra/i-received-my-steemit-trade-cards-from-kus-knee

A well done sign!

I have two little dachshunds so I love this sign! ☺️


bueno yo vi este

Yes, limpio is best!

I have this one in the backyard. It's strange the things you need to tell people :)

I like places where signs like this are necessary!

Thanks for joining in the fun!

Dogs are funny :D

It sure is!

U5dretMgujmrbpbi9uLkcPuewTzX6mX_1680x8400.jpg

he sign says: curve fucked. people die for reckless
This sign is located at the entrance of the city of San Carlos Cojedes State in Venezuela, was placed by the local government in a rough attempt to raise awareness of those who circulate through this dangerous way, now is a place where you can take a funny picture.

It must be very dangerous!

Foster pees on the sign..JPG

What is that dog up to?

Peeing on the sign.

Very funny this slogan we will see what we find in the area to participate.
Thank you very much dear friend @ kus-knee for allowing us this fun
I wish you a wonderful weekend

Thanks so much!

I watched many signs like the first one here in my city, some of them were really funny too. If I watch something similar during my next walking, I'll take some pics to share a bit of fun ;)

We'll be waiting!

I wasn't thinking before when I saw from @old-guy-photos and decided to search a bit and came back with this from my previous post.

Very cool!

Thank you

SIGNS, SIGNS, EVERYWHERE THERE'S SIGNS. BLOCKING OUT THE SCENERY AND BREAKING MY MIND!
Speaking of which, this sign pole is at a simple intersection between two roads.KIMG1768.JPG
I found you through @old-guy-photos and his posts on signs. I hope you have a great day. And until we meet again I send you and all of yours all of my love. And ask that our creator bless you all.

Thanks a lot for the photo and the blessings. Are you a Foce Man Electrical Band aficionando?

If you mean five man electrical band, not really. When it comes to music, I love all kinds. What really matters to me with music, is the words and story that are told. Good lyrics that mean a lot to the person singing and that have actual meaning and depth are what I look for in any music. It's hard to find those things in any of the new mainstream stuff.😔

Yes autocorrect five becomes fove. Maybe auto error! :)

Maybe this sign is normal in Massachusetts, but I had never seen one where I am from. What does it even mean?!!! 😄😂

Spotted in the dark along a country road near a cranberry bog.

Weird!

I just googled it:

It means the buildings are less than 200 feet apart on average. Unless otherwise posted, the speed limit is 30 miles per hour. [1]

Footnotes
[1] Nowhere but New England.
31 Views

Funny that is has to do with speed limit & the distance between buildings. Cause why put up a sign that says 30mph when you can just say thickly settled? 😂🤣😁

I put up a post to promote it Old Dog!

https://steemit.com/funny/@old-guy-photos/contest-time

Thanks!

Cool contest!!!! I will see if I find some strange sign :-))))

I look forward to seeing what you find!

It's difficult this time, but I try :-D

Haha - great contest master of bones - i might indeed consider joining that one!!! Hilarious things one can see - i might have to go out and visit the places where i forgot my cam.

I look forward to seeing an entry from you!

Ciao @kus-knee! Come stai?

Like always I love your contest!

I found this three in a toilet's bar of my village:

The first up on the left says: come closer, is not long how you think

The second down on the left: piss with heart, piss Happy but piss inside! ("Mortacci" I don't know how translate It...but is an italian exclamation not really friendly..)

The third One on the right: When you finish to urinate remeber that's a Bar and it will be nice to drink something! Thanks!

These are awesome. Thanks!

You're really welcome! Like always! Glad that you appreciate It!😉✌️

Very funny competition, it is a pity that in my small village there are no such signs)). But I listened to wonderful music!

Thanks for having a look!

Thanks for the photo!

My pleasure!


here is my entry dear friend @ kus-knee, I hope you find it to your liking
I wish you a great day

That's very disrespectful behaviour!

When my son was about 6 he drew this sign, I found it taped to my bathroom door.

That's fabulous!

It was the funniest thing ever and since I have all boys you know they were all going crazy!!!

This is a handmade sign that I saw on one of my walks. I couldn't help but giggle at the irony of the sticker placement below the "sign".

teFKALJc0exwzVoO.png

It says

You're worth the world. You're worth living. Everything gets better.

Hahaha good one!

This is another one . Is it true ?
imufr9.jpg

It can't be real can it?

I don't think so.

I'll stay far away from her!

hahahaha, yes I would too :)

It's really sophisticated insult which he has written on his door, and it's my bad that I've traveled across my country and seen too many weird sign boards but right now I'm unable to find even a single picture in my Mobile phone and my laptop is not working properly, so consider this photo as my entry because it looked funny and weird as well FB_IMG_1526644633910.jpg

@kus-knee i was not expecting this from you, you've replied almost every damn picture on this post, but you didn't replied mine, I don't want your vote but ignorance is what hurts.

Perhaps you could have written: "I was wondering if you mistakenly overlooked my post".

Scolding me and calling me ignorant is probably not the best strategy! At least not if you're trying to build a friendship.

I do try and comment on most posts and to help as many people as possible here and sometimes I might make a mistake. I do remember reading your comment and looking at the picture.

My friend who introduced me to steemit told me to delete my comment but i told him that I'm frustrated, I didn't meant or thought that you are ignorant, actually English is not my first language so I wrote that sentence in another way but it comes in another sense, I'm sorry for my comment, but I was frustrated, next time I'll be careful.

No problem!

Thank you sir, and pardon my words because the thing is still same, English is not my first language, I am trying to improve it by posting my travel stories on my blog.

I wish you joy and success!

Thank you sir, thank you so much for your generosity.

ha ha ha Thank @kus-knee for make me funny, go ahead, best wishes for you.

Thanks!

Good that friend we must teach society to take care of our public sities for recreation @kus-knee

True!

I was in the UK a few years back and there were some pretty good pub signs I saw on my tour, but I think this was the best one

All I saw was Naked Waitresses Flirt with You
The sign got me into the bar, job well done

Very clever!

It's worse than human dog

Indeed!

right. Seeing that there are no people, they are always bad on the wall

People who are becoming a problem for their neigbours are just jerks!

Yes we should try and be nice with each other!

Watch out for the cow 😂

Maybe someone could clarify what this means. Does it want me to throw my garbage in the trash while underwater or not?

Good one!

I don't know about you... but I don't know if the term "organic" should be used in this context. This is one "organically" grown product I wouldn't want to be eating!! Tomatoes and Sewerage... yeah they're not selling it to me!!

Hmmmm it must be the wrong word!

It should be the wrong word!! Lol :D

![EA7F515C-795A-40D8-986B-2FA512A21E47.jpeg](

I found this at the Top of the World when I was visiting a Yellowstone last year.

Funny!

Translated from German this might be best described as garden shit pole - available in one of our most famous Baumärkte in Germany.

Found on lol.de - there is so much more - I do have some more German ones in stock.

Good one!

I particularly like this one, the notice is about renting out a parking spot, however it's about the correction that someone made which says:

"Grammar-errors are a mental posession of the creator, he who finds them is allowed to keep them"

Hello, @kus-knee,
Your contest has been featured in Steemit Contests Compilation #1 by @cadawg

Have a wonderful day!
~ @cadawg

Dear Kus-knee,

A friend of my will organize a world cup contest around the world cup soccer starting half June. At this moment there is already a nice amount for prizes (75 SBD in total). But I thought it might be nice to find some upvote sponsors. Which means you can sponsor this world cup contest by providing upvotes. I think that could both help to encourage good things in the Steem blockchain as well as you receive some free promotion.

Please let me know if you are interested?

excellent funny! thanks for sharing

ha ha best fun of the year 😂😃
