Signs have been around for a hot New York minute. It seems as if they’ll be around for a bit longer than that too. Even with all the robot intelligence running amok like it is. People need signs to get around. It’s the funniest human thing. This collection of signs didn’t settle for the mere delivery of information. It also tried to keep things interesting with some humor thrown into the pot.

1. Not an ordinary out of order sign, by any means

A purple sign leaning against a wall reads: "Sorry, this lift is OUT OF SERVICE (even if you keep pressing the buttons). It'll be back soon. Please contact us on 1300 with any enquiries.

2. Now, stop the what

A sign reading "Please do not remove Or Stop the skyers" sits in front of a festive Christmas tree decoration with colorful lights and a gingerbread-themed entrance. Gingerbread figures are visible at the bottom.

3. Seriously though, which way do I walk?

A yellow sign with an arrow and a silhouette of a walking person wearing a hat. The sign says "Walkers this way, please" and "Les marcheurs à cette direction, SVP." There are autumn leaves on the ground.

4. This fire department means business

A fire station with several parked vehicles and a sign reading, "Satisfaction guaranteed or your fire back." The station is a red brick building with large windows. The address "313 S. Elm Street" is shown on the sign.

5. Well, at least they’ll last year-round

Stacks of gray and blue plastic lawn chairs are displayed for sale outside. Above them is a sign for perennials, which seems unrelated to the chairs. One stack of chairs is priced at $24.97.

6. Harvesting minds then, are you?

A sign for "Cradle to Crayons Learning Center" stands between two giant crayon sculptures. The message board reads: "HARVESTING LITTLE MINDS". Trees and playground equipment are visible in the background.

7. Ah, so that’s the origin story of happiness, then, is it?

A sign for Tokyo restaurant advertises an outdoor party with the slogan "Where Happiness Began!" It shows grilled steak, lobster, a flaming grill, and a set outdoor dining table.

8. Just to be clear, you’re sure about that, are you?

A fenced-off construction area blocks part of a sidewalk and bike lane. A "Danger: Due to overhead wires" sign is posted, with traffic cones and construction equipment nearby.

9. Seriously, you better not

10. Get back in the house.

11. It appears that someone crashed into the ACE Hardware store.

A storefront with boarded-up windows displays a sign that reads, “WE ARE OPEN PLEASE PARK OUTSIDE.” The entrance door is glass, and a yellow pole stands near the entrance on the sidewalk.

12. Makes enough sense

A storefront window sign reads: "Business Hours. OPEN when we're here. CLOSED when we're not." A car wheel and part of a sidewalk are reflected in the glass.

13. It appears that they have all the bases covered

A white sign with purple text listing different types of bites: Dog Bite, Cat Bite, Human Bite, Tic Bite, Spider Bite, Mosquito Bite, and Fish Bite. The top right corner of the sign is curled.

14. Now that’s a full commit if I’ve ever seen one

A runner at an outdoor event has a sign on their back that reads, "If I collapse, please PAUSE my GARMIN :)." Other people around are smiling and taking photos, with one woman giving a thumbs up.

15. Yes, this is very convincing. Nothing suspicious in the slightest.

A metal container with the words "CLEAN DIESEL FULE" handwritten in white marker, with "FULE" misspelled instead of "FUEL." The background is industrial with metal bars.

Matt Staff

Matt has spent over the last 8 years as both a writer and editor, working in Seattle and Brooklyn, where he is now based. He loves escaping the tirelessly fast pace of the “Mad Apple” that is NYC by taking walks and runs through parks where he’s able to catch up on the latest tea about society from the city’s ever chatty, always hungry, occasionally maniacal, pigeons. They always have a lot to say. When he’s not taking his urban nature strolls, or dutifully combing the deepest rabbit holes of the internet to find the content that’s worth sinking your mind’s teeth into, he’s likely holed up at a dark-lit dive bar with a new book and/or some friends, or just as easily he could be on the hunt for the next addition to his steadily growing plant family.

These days Matt’s caught up in trying to provide folks as many vivid glimpses into the days long since passed as he can, through fun and engaging collections of hand-picked vintage photos.
