We've all seen them but we just can't help but scratch our heads and laugh every time. Bad translations, misspellings, the works! Share and discuss.

This thread is a pure gold reference for LOLs:

Distractify | 34 Confused Warning Signs That Are Having An Identity Crisis

And this is one of my personal favorites for bad translations:

ROFL I LOVE THESE!

Amane 10-04-2014 04:54 PM

What a manicure! [rofl]

I've seen a neighborhood watch sign with a sticker with the Sailor Moon scouts put over the symbol. I want that neighborhood watch!

I've seen another one that was a "No Smoking" sign, and it was drawn on, and the cigarette now looked like a piece of pie, and there were the words "ABSOLUTELY NO PIE."

In one of my t-shirts it says:

THIS PRODUCT WAS TESTED ON ANIMALS IT DIDN'T FIT

Amane 10-04-2014 05:08 PM

I've seen a tag for an XL-sized item that said, "Try on a Small. Come on. It'll be funny."

HIM_ROCK 10-04-2014 05:17 PM

I've seen one which was

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS: GIVE IT TO YOUR MOM

Amane 10-04-2014 05:19 PM

Perfect.

This one tag for an American clothing company that had French translation said, only in the French part (I don't know how old the tag was): "We are sorry our president is an idiot. We did not choose him."

OMG all of those are awesome. [rofl]

I know what I'll be singing this year.

Pretty sure the iPhone agreement is my favorite one ever.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT EARLIER.

zigbigadorlube 10-04-2014 09:20 PM

I'm going to have that navidad one stuck in my head for a while now. XD

Also OMG, how have I never read that Apple one before.

lunanuova 10-04-2014 10:20 PM

I love the medicine instructions one on the link you posted!

zigbigadorlube 10-04-2014 10:53 PM

That was one of my favorites as well. [lol]

I guess it's for the doctor or pharmacist to circle...they just didn't.

Amane 10-05-2014 12:03 AM

I like that song, too. [boogie]

zigbigadorlube 10-05-2014 03:10 AM

Hm, which is worse, the fine or that part about dying?

KisaraKitsune 10-05-2014 03:55 AM

How can you fine a corpse? That's what I want to know.

Wouldn't it be easier to just remove the sign if people are throwing rocks at it? XD

Uniplex 10-06-2014 03:50 PM

I think the best one was a stop sign had "Don't Stop Believin'!" written on it by some teenager. No one's washed it off or anything. It's pretty hilarious.

I LOVE this! Life should have a lot more random stuff like this, it makes people happy!! It also easily identifies the Butthurt Brigade as they start being all sniffy and going on about stuff being unprofessional etc. So win/win!

HIM_ROCK 10-06-2014 05:13 PM

The latest sign from the Parrot Zoo is PLEASE DO NOT FEED YOUR CHILDREN'S FINGERS TO THE PARROTS

jellysundae 10-06-2014 06:04 PM

That's excellent! [lol]
