I think you have misunderstood, the sign is there so we have pity on them for their low mental capacity.

I know what you mean.


We have a door at work that says: Fire Escape.

The day we had a fire I opened the "Fire Escape" door but it didn't. It just stayed there, getting bigger.

Today, I opened a box of dry cat food. The label on corner said pierce here and tear back. So, I duly pushed my thumb where it said and then belted backwoods. I fell over the bloody cat! Who writes these instructions?????

Can anyone help me by dropping off some provisions to me, as I'm very hungry and thirsty?

You see, I've fallen foul of those bloody motorway matrix signs again - it said "keep your distance", so here I am, stuck on the hard shoulder of the M3, where I've been for the last 8 hours, 35 miles from home and, apparently, forbidden from continuing my journey.

Again, I notice I'm the only law abiding motorist who chose to obey the instruction, and I bet plod won't do anything about all the drivers that just blatantly ignored the sign.

Here's another.... the new signs saying "Merge in turn".
I tried it the other day but my car just bounced off the car next to me.

How am I supposed to merge the cars?

Anyway - your turn now.

I saw this on the A352 in Dorset today. It's bloody cruel, but I can confirm that I didn't see a single one stray out onto the road, so it seems to be doing the trick and keeping the local felines indoors.

They didn't do a very good job did they? I can see a cat's eye in the photo!
