Typically, we barely register the messages delivered on public signs because, for the most part, they tell us exactly what we’re expecting to read. But sometimes, they will stop us in our tracks.
Facebook group The Absurd Sign Project, which has more than 100,000 members, is a community where people can share weird and wacky signs they have seen on their travels around the world.
While some of the messages made people laugh due to their wording, such as a road sign directing people to a place called ‘Horneytown’ Road in Carolina, others are funny due to their surroundings.
For example, a sign in a US grocery store told customers ‘look at what $1 will buy’ on top of three completely empty shelves.
This sign is something many can relate to with the cost of living crisis and the rise of inflation – there is nothing on the shelf you can get for $1
