English FAIL Blog

Notice the double fail…

Fire… what?

Of all the fails, I like the terminal semicolon best.

Also looks as if the “fire exting’r” is missing from its bracket.

The fire exting’r is visible in the lower left corner of the photo, but I agree the sign is misleading. As for the warning sign posted…that’s just sad.

I agree about the semicolon, pannonica. It’s as if they knew they should be using one somewhere, but they weren’t sure of where it should be placed.

Oh, I thought that was a bullet style trash container behind the bracket. I guess I was expecting the exting’r to be small’r.

Also:

You have no chance to make your time. HAHAHA.

I just don’t understand…

Maybe the guy who typed up the sign is a web designer who was in the middle of editing a style sheet when they interrupted him to make him print up the sign. Annoyance, resentment, and force of habit could explain the whole thing.

On the other hand, I could just be really bored right now.

^ This comment brought me lulz- you sir, are win.

I’m loving the bizarre semicolon misuse in an otherwise punctuation-free sign. But I don’t love it quite as much as “You are been watch”. I can’t help but visualize a kidney bean shaped wristwatch.

It actually took me a good 15 seconds to figure out what a “fire ex ting r” might be.

I’ve never seen a semicolon used so recklessly. At the end?! Seriously?
