We are surrounded by signs and advertisements; we can barely keep track of how many signs we see on any given day. Every once in a while, we come across a sign that stops us in our tracks with sass, snark, and unhinged humor. It makes sense that people would go out of their way to make passive-aggressive signs. After all, the world is full of annoying problems that can be easily solved with a few good manners and common decency. These signs are proof that people have had enough of annoying behavior. Here are some of the funniest times signs have gotten sassy with some amazing passive-aggressive comebacks and messages.
#1: Forward Thinking
It’s always tragic when an old tree gets cut down. This usually happens when we humans want to build another ugly warehouse or unnecessary McMansion. There’s at least one city where this won’t be happening any time soon. This ginkgo tree is a cornerstone of the community. It matters so much to residents that they had this sign made.
It reads, “This ginkgo tree will live 800 years if you don’t hurt it. 1959 – 2759.” There’s no better way to discourage someone from cutting down a tree than using shame. No one wants to be the person who cut down a potentially 800-year-old tree! Cutting down this tree would be like cutting down the future. Put your saws down, people.
