Everywhere you go, there are so many signs sharing information, that you probably don’t notice them all.
After all, they are usually informational at best, and innocuous at worst.
That is not the case when it comes to these sinister signs spotted by social media users in North America and the UK, and collated into a gallery by Bored Panda.
Among the creepy notices, is one on an office door, boasting that the space belongs to someone who is both a veterinarian and a taxidermist.

Meanwhile, another warning notice lets people know that the machine it is attached to cannot distinguish between flesh and metal – and nor does it care.
And then another message, supposed to be supportive, shows just important layout is when sharing information. Instead of saying: ‘We are all in this together,’ because of the gaps between letters, it looks like it says: ‘We are all in this to get her.’
