I had so much fun with the last one, I decided to have another go:

SGF: “Are there so many different alarms going off that you need to be told what the fire alarm sounds like?”

is it who000OO00op? or whoopwhoopwhoop? I'm confused

Is that a threat? I’d like to be the guy in the car that just takes out walkers all day

we warned you...

There’s something vaguely sexual about this…

LOCK DRUM DOOR BEFORE SERVICING

WHEEEEEEEEEEE!

can I go next?

some of my favorites from Safety Graphics Fun, with my thoughts:

What are they saying here? Don’t have a backhoe chase you? If it does, don’t run? Run faster? I’d say that guy has the right idea here

maybe he's just taking his hoe for a walk?

Who is throwing the chips? Just because someone has protective eyewear, does that give you permission to throw food at them?

which one? stay away or wear protection?

You’d think after the first or second batch, the driver would stop running people over…

probably both.

I bet this reads: “WARNING: If the floor suddenly drops out, your garbage will attack.”

this is a serious problem

Might as well profit, you certainly won’t be needing the $200 anymore.

if you have $200 cash, do they loot your corpse?

Your new widescreen TV just arrived!
Don’t TOUCH! Don’t even THINK about IT!!!

got this caption from SGF

Thank god I saw the sign!

that was a close one

WHY THE SILENT?

WHY THE SILENT?

A friend of mine ended up with a scammer trying to steal a laptop on craigslist, so of course messed with them. Partially funny, but also partially very scary because I’m sure thousands of people have fallen for this scheme before. Here’s a (edited for security) transcript:

Hello
why the silent?
I have made the payment and the money have being deducted from my account,Now the money is in your account but pending, What you need now is to send the shipment tracking number for verification.Immediately they verify your account will be credited.So kindly made the shipment immediately to my company agent located oversea of the confirm address giving
to you by PayPal.

I have being scam 3 time by difference seller while i will made the  payment and they will not ship out my item.
So PayPal do just to protect buyer and seller from being scam.

Here is the shipping address below:

Receivers Name: Proffersor A.Sanmi
Address: # 5 Anishere Street Old Nepa Off Ring Road,
City: Ibadan
State: Oyo State
Country: Nigeria
Zipcode: 23402  +2348075084090

quote “DONT TRY TO SCAM ME, COS I CANT AVOID TO LOSE MY MONEY”  haha… are you kidding me?
First of all, i haven’t received any form of payment in my paypal account.  I will send the item as soon as i receive the payment.  I dont care if you stole the paypal account or used a fake credit card paypal account.  As long as i get money in my paypal account, i will send out the item.

Have a good day.

that would definitely work for a person who is using the paypal for the first time.  But not me.  If you already made the payment, it would show up in my paypal account instead just a fake email to my email account.  once the payment show up in my paypal account,  i will use the shipping tool to ship the laptop.  “FAST SECURE AND PAIN FREE”
