Return of the Stupid Sign!

Imagine, if you will, me sitting on a bus. Sitting waiting to arrive at the train station. I'm rather irrate because my local council has decided to make everyone attempting to get into Crewe late for work/trains/whatever, so that they can do a census. Right, so hundreds of people are prevented from getting to work on time so you can ask a few drivers some questions?

Q. "What kind of car do you drive?"
A. The one I'm fucking sitting in.


Q. "Do you find that you get to work on time with the present traffic conditions?"
A.
Yes, as long as there aren't idiots on the road stopping every other car to ask me if I'm late for work!


Q. "If there was one thing you could change about your journey to work, what would it be?"
A.
That you weren't by the side of my car asking me questions, but under it.


So yes, I'm on the bus trying to relieve my bordom and annoyance at being late in any way possible. I receive a few strange looks as I bop along merrily to the young lady sitting next to me's music (hand actions and all). So I stop. I don't want to make other bus users jealous through my incredible club dancing. Then, a sign catches my eye. It amuses me so much that I forget the rest of the journey to the station and concentrate on my main aim of taking a picture of it (this also received some odd looks, but I could not resist having a picture of the sheer stupidity of this notice). Now, the sign in my last post was silly, but this one out-trumps it by a mile:As you can plainly see, the 'with hammer' is added as an afterthought. What you can't see in the photo (you must understand, my camera skills aren't at top notch when I'm being stared at by a bunch of strangers) is that there is a rather obvious hammer by the side of this window. What on earth did someone use to smash the glass to prompt them to put up those words?

"Arrrrgh, panic! The bus is swerving out of control! This is an emergency! Someone smash the glass!"

"What with?"

"Erm... I'll use my head!"

*10 seconds later*

"Arrrgh, I'm bleeding! If only the sign had said to smash the glass with this clearly labelled and blatently obvious hammer!"

I shall be on the hunt for more stupid signs now, as they make life just that little bit less tedious... please feel free to send any stupid sign pictures or descriptions to stupid_signs@bobbikk.co.uk!
