35 Funny Text Blunders That Should Have Been Double-Checked

Published 14 mins ago

We usually expect signs to be clearly proofread and easy to understand, delivering information at a glance. Here, the spotlight is on text designs that hilariously miss their target. These badly designed messages feel more like muddled puzzles that need decoding rather than the clear infographics sharing bite-sized information for easy dissemination that we would ordinarily expect.

Funnily enough, these errors seem to happen often enough to fuel this riotously funny roundup of typography fails on signs and visuals spotted in public. Scroll below to enjoy a few of our favourite finds that are guaranteed to leave you bursting with mirth at the sheer absurdity of it all.

Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
