People Who Weren’t Paying Attention, And It Shows

Life comes at you fast. Blink and you'll miss it, right? It keeps you on your toes, but we all have days where we're just not completely there, and that's when things start to go downhill.

Maybe you work in advertising and you launch an ad campaign only to realize it makes zero sense, or maybe you develop a product that seemed like a great idea at 2 AM but in the light of the day it doesn't seem so genius anymore. Whatever it was, someone noticed it, and now we've got some of the best ones for you here.

Who doesn't love a heart attack in the morning? Even if this is a cardboard cutout, they definitely have an enemy in the building because no friend would do this to someone.

Imagine buying this for your kid at the beginning of the school year then one day he angrily storms home to tell you that he now has 64 orange crayons, and you have to go spend more money on Crayola products. Looks like someone has some explaining to do.

Attractions Are Subjective

Whoever put up the sign that day was feeling philosophical, clearly. Anything can be an attraction in this town. Think of it as a choose-your-own-adventure trip, rather than a city worker who couldn't think of anything exciting about this place.
