“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”
.
Pandering to the stupidest people in society has become the norm.
All that does is drag everyone closer to their level of stupidity, but apparently the equally stupid people in charge think that’s the way it has to be.
They’ve even managed to get stupid people to write the stupid signs for the other stupid people.
Sound like a conspiracy to me, except they’re not smart enough for that.
Anyway, enough of my rant.
Just enjoy.

“Beware!
To touch these wires is instant death.
Anyone found doing so will be prosecuted.”
On a sign at a railroad station.

Excellent collection … one of my favorites is on a package of pepperoni … Don’t eat the wrapper.
Thanks. I would ask “Are people really that stupid” but you know the answer.
Sometimes I also wonder how much involves a tech writing team having some fun.
A nice thought, but I get the feeling most of the people who write this stuff are serious – stupid, but serious.
There is legal to consider.
You are correct. That’s what prompts all this nonsense. See my comment here https://fasab.wordpress.com/2015/02/11/more-warning-signs/
