    Take care of your own sleeping grass.

    It actually says,

    “The little grass is currently resting. Please do not disturb.”

    For some reason I don’t see signs nearly this bad when I go to Taiwan… but this sign is from mainland China.

    The sign meas that the grass needs to be loved when it is sleeping, obviously

    Please do not disturb the grass, it needs 8 hrs of sleep a day or it becomes antisocial

    Or perhaps the sign is referring to Mimosa pudica.

    I live in Japan and sleeping grass is real. When you touch it the blades fold up as a defense mechanism.

    Erm, not a fail, sleeping grass exists…

  12. Bjartur on August 20th, 2008 at 4:18 pm

    Please somebody show me the fail here. (By the way, sleeping grass (l. mimosa) is very real.)

    “What we have here is..failure to communicate.”
    Given most people (evidently) don’t know what sleeping grass is (i.e. most people aren’t botanists), it’s more ‘lost in translation’ than actual failure. An (understandable in this context) example of a lack of cultural sensitivity as this kind of grass may be common in the Far East, but not in the West.
    That is, of course, assuming you clever botanists are correct and it isn’t actually a fail.
    Either way, you’ve got to agree – it’s hilarious!

      Either it’s perfectly fine or it’s Engrish… I take issue with calling Engrish an “English fail.”

    sleeping grass? oh weed…i do take care of it, quiet well actually.

    It’s a lovely sentence.
