This Is My Glasgow Oct 14

Every sign has a story behind it, and I suspect this one in Bowling, just to the west of Glasgow, might be more interesting than most.

Silly Sarcastic and Cute Signs (12 Photos)

From sarcastic chalkboards outside pubs to googly-eyed “earthquake detectors” taped to walls, these signs aren’t here to inform — they’re here to amuse. Spotted everywhere from Canadian alleys to Californian trails, each one brings a small dose of absurdity to public spaces. In this collection: a petty painter’s revenge in Bolsover, warning signs for wheat field sharks, a lakeside pun you need to see to believe — and more.

Cute Signs (10 Photos) - STREET ART UTOPIA

Weirdly specific sign. Why no Scottish terriers? #StreetPhotography #WeirdSigns

This CVS pharmacy sign is so bizarre: it’s obviously meant to be pasted behind a clear glass window; hence the “Remove to expose adhesive” plastic sheet that covers the words in the sign. But since this branch has no glass windows, they’ve decided to paste it with the adhesive cover intact on their frosted glass divider.

But look: they used clear packing tape to paste the sign down, and the packing tape has made the frosted glass transparent. The image you see in the tape is actually what’s *behind* the glass divider.

This Is My Glasgow Apr 28, 2025

I don't know whether they've always been there, and I've only just started noticing them, but there seem to be a lot of weird signs around Glasgow at the moment. I spotted this one today in a window in the Hidden Lane. Love the Snacks Provided part, but going back and stopping yourself being born does open up all sorts of time travel paradoxes!
