Menacing Signs Scarier Than What They're Warning Of

Don't go there

Signs are helpful when you go on vacation or to a place you don't often visit, because they tell you exactly what to do and how to behave. They can be the difference between life and death in a fire, but they can also be quite menacing in a calm situation.

Sometimes you read a sign and you know exactly what the person making that sign had to go through. You can feel their anger and their regret in just one or two sentences that speak volumes about customer service. Other times, the situation depicted in the sign is so specific that you can't help to think that it happened more than once and had terrible consequences. It takes time and money to make signs, so you know they saw it as an investment.

So, here are some menacing signs scarier than what they're warning of, with others that aren't that scary, but we sure want to know the terrible story behind them.
