We Got It Covered
Now they’ve gone too far – a covered bridge too far, to be exact. Could this be one of the Bridges of Madison County? No, it is not – it’s a bridge in Mount Pleasant Township, IL, and the grass around it is not to be driven on, even if you can’t actually see it. Kudos to the sign for photobombing the bridge, btw.

There Goes Tokyo
Fine, YOU tell him… because as we all know, kaiju can’t read. In related news, better check each one of those footprint puddles, there’s gotta be a Bambi at the bottom of one of them. (image via Anders Sandberg)
Size Doesn’t Matter
Once you’ve paved over almost every other bit of verdant plain, what little remains takes on great importance. That goes for the above miserable patch of green – well, partly-green – as it gets a full-size sign whose base takes up a measurable portion of the plot all on its own. As an infamous pseudo-rockstar might say, “the problem may have been that there was an urban mini-meadow that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf”. (image via Phil Whitehouse)
Guilty Plese
This is your sign-making brain… ON GRASS. We’ll give the anonymous sign-maker a break – for all we know they could be a kindergartner and if so, somebody should tell them to stop running with the scissors they used to trim this sign! (image via Liz Henry)
No Man’s Land
When words fail us or when we fail at words, as previously, a picture (or pictograph) is worth a thousand words… or maybe not. What does the above sign say to you? No People? No Walking? No People Walking Without A Dog? And why is the figure black? That can’t be right or at least, it’s not OK. Come on, Cardiff (Wales), you’re better than this! We’ll settle for a misspelled sign at this point, or even one in Welsh. “Cadw oddi ar y glaswellt”? Book it, done. (image via Alex Liivet)
