Wearer of the Dumb Shirts
We can at least take some solace in these shirts being simple, fun pieces of an outfit for celebrations. Whether you’re a grandma or an…Auntiemelon…you can grab something for your next birthday party.
Now, the shirt on the left is at least a reference to the show “Cocomelon,” but the layout and phrasing still don’t make a lot of sense. The shirt on the right is a little more egregious, with Spider-Man having nothing to do with the words on the shirt, and the three (the child’s age, likely) hovering there like a malevolent being in the sky.
Beguiling the Youth
We feel like this kind of shirt was made for a very specific kind of person, and he's pictured in the image. Just look at that face. Don't let this man near your children, people, because he's going to tell them about more than just sweater puppies.
Why would there be a skull on the shirt? To draw the eye? That's the only thing that we can come up with, and we imagine that it would work. Keep an eye on the police reports to see this guy again, probably for something like indecent exposure. Or worse.
Going for a Look
Ah yes, that famous, classic band that wrote such hits as “Urinate All Night,” “Toilet Rock City,” and “Forever (Going to the Bathroom).” We're gonna go with the idea that this guy is fully aware he isn't wearing a shirt that has a real band name on it.
His posture lets us know that he's prepared to defend his outfit no matter which part you want to talk about. The fanny pack – which is always an odd choice, to begin with – really brings the vibe together. The fists akimbo put the finishing touches on a one-of-a-kind style.
An Important Distinction
Don't you dare call this cool cat a player because 'player' can, sometimes, be construed as a positive term. He's a gamer, and don't you forget it – someone that will apparently never succeed in any way other than spending his free time playing video games.
At least the shirt has one of the most famous video game characters of all time, Dash the Porcupine, on it so that people know he isn't one of those FAKE gamers – you know, the kind that just does it for the fame, and not for the love of the game.
Somebody Tell Us What This Means
We're going to have to take this slowly. First off, from the art style, we can tell that the face in the center of the shirt is a character from the manga/anime series “JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.” Maybe you've heard of it, and maybe you haven't, but that's okay.
Past that, the “X in the streets, Y in the sheets” format has X be something sweet and calm, usually, while Y is far more energetic and rowdy. From that point on, we're in unexplored territory. No doubt fans of the series will understand, but the rest of us are lost.
Sorry, We Thought This Was an Article About BAD Shirts
Because this one clearly rules. The meaning of the shirt is pretty clear to anyone that wanders within range, but just think about it. If “hardcore devil stomping ninja” was actually an official job title, just think of how popular it would be.
There would be colleges dedicated to it. It would be harder to get in than law school and more important than medical school. These people would get free haircuts and roll into town to find a parade waiting for them because they're about to fill devils with razor-sharp holy-throwing stars.
Got Us Good
Shirts don't generally take a lot of hard work, but this one is like a school test. If you've already had a few drinks, seeing this shirt will probably stop you cold. You have to say something, and then spell something, and then say a second thing?
Why don't you just ask us to do some quadratic calculations while you're at it, or deliver a speech on the importance of eastern philosophies like Taoism on modern systems of thought? And then, of course, there's the shirt's revelation – it takes hard work, but eventually, you learn something important about yourself.
Spelling Is Super Important
Having sex daily? A good thing, most people would agree. Maybe if you've had a tiring evening, your marital duties can feel like a chore, but sex is, on the whole, a positive. History bears that fact out.
Having dyslexia, on the other hand, is a bad time for the sufferer, since they have a really bad time spelling words. That's where we get this shirt from. If you actually have dyslexia, this is the shirt for you. Also, what is this, a picture of a PICTURE of a shirt? Fine, whatever floats your boat.
They're Always a Good Time
Sure, the things that rednecks do are rarely, if ever, described as smart, but you have to admit that they're fun. Even if you only spend one weekend out of your life with them, that's going to be a weekend that you remember for the rest of your life.
Hopefully, it's for the correct reasons and not because of medical bills or anything like that. There are lots of good drinks, some great music, and people that know sometimes you just have to make your own fun.
We Don't Know, and We Don't Want to Know
Someone else is going to have to explain this one to us – all of us – because we see no connection between those words and that picture. Some possible ideas: people that wear this shirt are advertising that they're lactose intolerant, and if they eat cheese...well, you can imagine.
Our only other guess is that a band is behind this entire mess, and fans of the band will get it. Well, we don't get it. The guy in the picture does if that face is telling us anything. In fact, maybe he gets it a little too much.
One Leads to the Other
Exercise is really important to a lot of people, and even those that try to deny its power over them often give up and admit that it's a good thing. Bacon is also a very good thing; the best part about these two things is that they work together well.
Exercise lets you enjoy bacon without guilt or too many inches on the waistline, and a little bit of bacon might just be what your muscles need to reach that next level. Protein is good for you, after all. Prove you're into both with this kind of t-shirt.
What Isn't?
Oh, the lollipop, obviously. Well, no, that seems pretty silly to think. Making a lollipop that licks itself is the kind of thing that Professor Farnsworth from “Futurama” would make – something that is, when you think about it, pretty clever and new.
The more you think about it, you realize it's pretty useless. Anyway, why would you wear a shirt with this kind of thing on it, unless you WANTED to be considered a gross person? There aren't really any other outcomes. You're allowed to wear this shirt once, and then you have to get rid of it.
Do You Really Want That?
As a toy, the Ken doll fits the bill. He's got everything you need: plastic. A head that turns on the neck. Arms and stuff. But we have to admit that if all men were like him, things would be a lot different around here.
For one thing...you know he's pretty smooth down there, right? Like, way too smooth. He ain't got nothing in the entire downstairs department. It's empty. Nada. Nothing. Second, if your husband was locked into a plastic rictus grin for the rest of his life, you'd find it pretty unnerving.
Pick a Different Hobby
Having the drive and tenacity to pick yourself up and do things after you've failed them is an important skill and a hard lesson to learn, but failing at skydiving is a bit more final. If that parachute doesn't deploy, then you don't get a second chance. Thankfully, people who are in charge of that sort of thing take it very seriously.
Of course, there's also the whole jumping out of an airplane thing, which also puts a lot of people off. Think about giving it a try, but if you're a bit skittish, maybe give it a pass.
I Feel Tired
If you want, you can go through every word on this long shirt, but it doesn't really bring much satisfaction. Other than a job well done, we guess, there are still better things you could spend your time on.
Just like how people in the west like how Chinese or Japanese characters look without knowing the meanings, people in the east will wear things with English on them that make no sense. This does make sense, other than “I feel Coke,” but it's still the kind of thing that was chosen less for the meaning and more for aesthetics.
Time to Mosh
Yes, a lot of things associated with death metal tend to be darker in nature, both in the topics they mention and the colors they use, but that doesn't necessarily have to be so. This shirt, for instance, would be perfectly welcome at any kind of heavy concert, unless the other people at the concert are big losers.
It would get laughs! It would get smiles! And all shirts look the same while you're in a mosh pit. Besides, the lights are all going to be pointed at the performers, so it's not like people will see much anyway.
A Little Bit of Christmas Fun
The holidays are the perfect time to find a fun look. There are parties to go to, shopping to do, and all sorts of other events. Why not pick up a little something that helps you look good and will get a chuckle out of everyone else?
Of course, if you're in a home that's full of women who might not appreciate the idea of being called hos, make sure to pass it with them first. You could always just say that you're talking about the jolly laughter of old Saint Nick, but who knows if they'll buy that.
Time for New Game Plus
While many can look at this shirt and see something that is quite negative, there are lots of ways to turn it around. Yes, your single life might be over, but video games are always more fun playing co-op. One person can hold off the aliens while the other one accomplishes the objective.
The two of you can take on enemies or a big boss that, if you were playing single-player, neither would have a chance. There might even be some more players being added to the party – and bigger groups are even more fun.
He Was a Very Smart Man
Abraham Lincoln said a lot of really clever stuff. Even better, a lot of the stuff he said was quite wise – “Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” He also guided the nation through one of the most tumultuous times in our history.
However, and we cannot be more clear about this, he was not alive during the time of the internet. We don't even think he was around to see the advent of electricity. While he didn't say this quote, it's still an important thing to remember. Thanks, Abe.
I Have Very Good Eyesight
There are quite a number of people out there that hate the idea of anybody getting inside their personal bubble. For some people, they stick to body language and facial expressions to let people know they're getting too close. For others, they have to be a little more direct, using things like this shirt.
But what if somebody has just had Lasik surgery, and now they have 20/20 vision? How far away do they have to stand? And...what about Superman? The guy can see basically anywhere, thanks to all his superpowers. Does he have to go to space?
The Luck of the Athletic
Adidas is recognizable around the world, which means you can live the three-stripe life internationally if you want. But what if you also want to rep your home country with something that takes the normal athleisure style that Adidas is famous for and gives it a twist? This is something for you.
As long as the country that you want to rep is Ireland, at least. The brand name might be a bit mangled by adding paddy to the front of it, but it kind of seems like that was the best option.
Making Fun of Yourself
Being able to poke a little bit of fun at yourself is the mark of a mature person. This guy looks like he's getting ready to hit the road for a marathon. He knows what he's about to get into, and if he has a shirt that is warning the people behind him, we get the feeling that he's done this a number of times.
And he's still moving, even though he knows he's slow. That's the kind of sticktoitiveness that we like to see. And all he wants to have at the end of the race is a friend.
Unforgettable
The saying goes that whatever happens in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas. Of course, it's never really been that way, with plenty of things coming home to roost – from drunk escapades to shotgun marriages.
Lake Tahoe doesn't even pretend to say that all the wild stuff you do will be forgotten after your big weekend – that stuff is going right on Facebook for the entire world to see and marvel at. If you're a big enough fan of Lake Tahoe, we guess that you really want to let others know that nothing will ever remain hidden.
A Specific Shirt
Lots of famous people out there means there are lots of people that look like famous people but aren't. This young man has a bright idea – wear a shirt that gets out in front of the questions that he probably gets no matter where he goes.
This picture was taken back in the eighties, and we admit the guy wearing the shirt looks a lot like Prince Edward. Well, the joke's on us – that IS Prince Edward! He's at a polo match and wanted to give himself some peace and privacy during his day of horse hockey.
The Shirt Says it All
We all like something, even if it's something that only we could like. Ducks are, all things considered, a fairly standard thing to enjoy. They swim around, eat bugs, and fly a bit. Good stuff. This guy really likes him some ducks, and he's got a shirt that comes right out and says it.
The best part about this shirt is it works for all sorts of people – those that have pet ducks, those that like rubber ducks in the bath, those that are fans of “The Mighty Ducks,” and so on and so forth.
That's Specific
This woman wants you to know that she's not just hotter than you; she's exactly 20 percent hotter!
And honestly, we're not about to start disagreeing with her because, by the looks of it, she's not having a very good day.
Cow, Meet Cow
This is actually a lovely, touching moment. This little kid probably loves cows which is why he wore his cow shirt when his parents took him to see one in real life. The cow was excited to meet her new companion, not the kid, but the shirt itself, which had a familiar face on it, the face of a sister cow.
The two chatted for a bit before the kid and his cow shirt moved on to greet more cows.
A Cautionary Tale
This shirt tells it just like it is; it won't sugarcoat reality. This is a cautionary tale. Glue should only be used for, well... gluing things together. When you start using it for other things, it will actually have the opposite effect, and everything about your life will start falling apart.
If you don't trust us, trust the man in this picture, he knows what his shirt is talking about.
We Highly Doubt It
If you ask us, these types of shirts were never funny. Maybe some people chuckled at them in the 90s or something, but we weren't these people. We get it; everyone else's girlfriend is boring, while yours is cool because she likes being tied up.
This shirt just makes the wear-er look stupid, and we really doubt that anyone wearing this shirt actually has a girl by his side. The 90s called, and they want this shirt back.
We Still Don't Want To See That
We know this guy thinks he found some kind of a life hack that would all of a sudden make us not care that his crack is showing, but the truth is that we still care.
We still don't want to see it, let alone look at it, even if your shirt makes it appear as if it's attached to a beautiful girl. We know it isn't. We can call this a nice try, but that's about it.
Washing Machine? I Don't Know Her
We've all done this at least once, probably more than once. Maybe you just like an outfit so much you wanna sport it for a second day in a row, but, most likely, you're not in the laundry-doing mood, and the shirt still smells (relatively) fresh.
As long as no one comes near your armpits, everything will be fine, and no one will know. Unless, of course, you wear a shirt that lets everybody know.
Taco-Dog
When you see a taco, what does that make you think of? For us, it's a lovely Mexican feast in which we fill our mouths with tacos.
Nowhere in this scenario are there dogs inside of the tacos because, well, why would there be? Still, a designer can dream, and they want to put taco dogs in the sky with clouds; they sure as hell can, and they will.
This Is Just Baseless
Close your eyes and think of Nashville. What do you see? Most likely, you're thinking of some famous country singers, like, Nashville is literally known as the city of music.
If you're a sports fan, you might think of the Nashville Predators, a Hockey team, or the Tennessee Titans, a football team. When it comes to baseball, though, no one will think of Nashville. Next time, do your research, Mr. designer. This is just baseless.
You Can't Have It All
The with this design is that it's spreading lies. If you are a cartoon ninja turtle, there's no way you can do Karate and eat Pizza for every meal. Soon enough, the two will just cancel each other out.
Teenage mutant ninja turtles have been setting unrealistic expectations for children for way too long. It's time to admit that usually, it's pizza OR Karate, not Pizza and Karate.
On the Nose
If you don't know what MILF stands for, then where have you been in the last 20 years? Were you in a coma?
That's the only reasonable excuse. Well, if you know, you know that there's nothing wrong with showing MILFs some love, which is why this guy decided to come by this place, which is filled with moms, and just stand in this shirt. It's a bit on the nose, don't you think?
Speaking Our Truth
You gotta appreciate this guy for speaking the truth. Well, actually, it's not him, it's his shirt, but we think that's close enough, don't you?
This shirt captures what we all feel but feel uncomfortable saying - sometimes, we just don't want to go outside and function. Most of the time, we just want to stay in bed and watch Netflix. Next time we're late, know that it's because we didn't want to come.
Still Gay
There is a good story behind this shirt. The story goes that this is the shirt this guy pulled out of the closet (see what we did there?) the day after Pride Prade. Surprise, surprise, even after the pride parade was over, he still woke up gay!
Who would have thunk it? You go to sleep being the person that you are and alas, the next morning, you wake up as... the same person.
The Gay Gap
Did we say gay? We meant to say gap. Oh, no, wait, we actually meant to say gay. This is a clever design, as most of us would not notice that this isn't actually The Gap's logo and that it spells out something else completely.
If we were The Gap, we would take notice; this one is actually nicer than the original. Otherwise, we think this guy is pretty proud (pun intended) of sporting this shirt, as he should be.
The Biggest Loser
If this guy lost two days in a row, then why is he so happy? Could this be the result of not limiting your happy hour to, well, one specific hour of the day? If it's five o'clock somewhere, we drink. If it isn't five o'clock anywhere, we drink. This is a bulletproof diet.
But seriously, don't try this at home. You are not going to look as happy and coherent as this guy.
Patios Are Indeed... Outside
When someone tells you they are an outdoorsy kinda person, what do you envision? Maybe them lighting a campfire and roasting marshmallows as they tell scary stories and count the stars. But alas, this outdoorsy person is nothing like that; this guy just loves patios.
When you think about it, they are the best of both worlds, especially if you add some tequila on top.
Dog Mom Life
This shirt is actually very relatable. We would have worn this one, too, if we had the chance. The only problem is that this guy just can't be a dog mom, as we see no dog in the picture.
Without a dog, this person is just a stay-at-home guy, which doesn't sound like a very impressive title to hold on to. Maybe that's why the guy in the picture is so sad.
HolyHood?
We are not sure who the target audience of this shirt is. If you know anyone who you think would want to wear this shirt, please let us know. Also, if you are praying for someone, you shouldn't swing on them.
If you are swinging on someone, why would you pray for them? The logic behind this shirt is just out of whack.
I Heart Justin
Let us first clarify that there's nothing wrong with liking Justin Biber if that's your thing. Also, liking Justin doesn't make you gay. Lastly, there is nothing wrong with being gay; we hope you know that. Still, the combination of these two shirts right next to each other is funny. Maybe they were even put there on purpose to promote T-shirt sales.
We bet it really worked. We would have preferred to see shirts that say "I think he's Justin Bieber" and "I Love Gays."
Bad Moms
The movie "Bad Moms" follows mothers who don't really follow the rules, and we think that this mother would fit right in. Not sure if the text was cut or if that's just what the shirt says, but we can all read it clear as day. It says, "Prick!"
Well, at least it's the mother who's wearing this word and not the baby, who seems quite pleased with the situation.
Another Saturday
A husband took a picture of his wife. Her shirt had the word "Saturday" written on it in a bold, red, font. But, her jacket covered some of the letters, and they ended up with a picture of hers with the word "turd" plastered all over her.
Did they hide the picture in shame? No, they shared it on social media, of course, for all of us to enjoy.
You Gotta Try Everything Once
This pub had a nice little idea as to how to market itself. Just have the servers wear a shirt that says "Keep calm and have an ale." It almost worked out, but for wicked reasons unknown to us, they decided to make the girl's shirt say something else entirely, and we were only left to stare and laugh.
What did she do to deserve such a prank? Or maybe she was in on it, and they were all having a laugh together.
Candal?
According to the person who was actually wearing this shirt, what it actually says is "Canada." Honestly, that makes sense; why would anyone want a shirt that says *THAT*?
The way this girl is standing and her friends beside her, everything worked together in order to change the word from the name of a country to a word describing a private act.
Are You Sure?
As a shirt, this one is actually pretty successful. Don't you just love it when a shirt spells out exactly what you feel?
But in this case, we doubt the kid or her mother had any idea what this shirt said. It looked like a harmless shirt, with a sun in the middle and rays sticking out. The text in the middle must be child-appropriate, right? Wrong! We bet English speakers who saw this found it hilarious.
The Misspell From Hell
We really want to believe no one intended for such a horrendous thing to happen. Yet we are, looking at a kid wearing what should have been a harmless dupe of a coca-cola shirt. But, alas, this is anything but innocuous, this is actually, indeed quite harmful.
The worst part is no the word in white, but the little "enjoy" that is written above it. Yikes.
All in the Family
Family members are usually not that great at picking out Christmas presents, and that's just a fact of life. Still, no one would say no to a proper pair of basic socks, right?
We bet after this family saw what they got from their son/sibling, they missed the plain days of plain socks. Sure, it's a nice gag, but it scores 0% when it comes to practicality.
Three Simple Words
We don't know what the person who designed this tiny T thought to himself. We have to believe he was trying to go for something else entirely. But alas, he ended up with these three words.
Now, they are plastered all over the back of this unsuspecting child. Luckily, we are assuming both he and most people around him can't read what it says.
Permanently Unreadable
Life is hard, and this was hard to read, so maybe that's the deep message behind this silly little shirt? Well, the smart ones have already figured out that inside the word "Life," we can find the sentence "A series of provisional solutions."
What the hell does that mean? Is this an ad for something? Or is this just about the fact that life is all about finding temporary solutions? Either way, we find this shirt permanently unreadable.
Lost in Translation
Everyone loves graphic tees. T-shirts with some type of encouraging message on them? Even better. This is a trend that has crossed lands, continents, and oceans. It even got big in Japan, but it was both big and Wrong in Japan.
The statement was somehow, well, lost in transition. But hi, who says one can't "be happiness"? You just have to wear this shirt and try a little harder.
An Iron Punch
This T-shirt fail cracks up each and every time we look at it. Some shirts are meant to be tucked into the pants. This one just isn't.
Iron Man's fist, with all of its force, is making its way straight into this guy's, emm.. pine cones, if you know what we mean. If this guy survives Iron Man's painful punch, he should be crowned some type of hero. Maybe he could go by Gonad Man?
We Die Together
This was supposed to be a delightful little shirt design reminding children that writing is fun. But wait, it's not only spelling that's fun, but it's also the bus that is taking us to school! But what started as innocent fun ended in a terrible accident (pun intended).
Or maybe, this was more of a fortunate accident. Wearing this shirt will remind us all of something that we usually try and forget - the fact that cars are death machines!
Switch and Bait
There are only two types of people in the world, those who LOVE Starbucks and those who wouldn't be caught dead drinking a Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino.
We couldn't make up such drink names even if we tried. The second type of people won't even agree to step foot into a Starbucks. But where will they go instead? If only the logo and colors of another famous franchise were in plain sight...
Kiss Led Zeplin
When it comes to band T-shirts, some people use them to express their love for a band, while many just wear them because they're cool. The second group usually doesn't really know anything about the band that's on their shirt.
Now, when a designer really, really doesn't know the band, he might make a mistake such as this one. Unsuspecting customers buy the shirt, and they are the ones who end up looking like fools.
Justice for Bart
Ah, Baet Simpson – one of the most beloved characters on TV. Do you know Baet? Everyone knows Baet. He’s the son of Hober and Marle Simpson.
Poor BART Simpson didn’t get the treatment he deserves on this t-shirt. Not only is his name spelled wrong, but his text bubble also doesn’t even make any sense. Bart deserved better.
A Super Embarrassing Mistake
We understand what they were trying to go for with this red shirt. It was supposed to motivate young baseball players. There is just one problem; they made the 's' too big.
So big, in fact, that combined with the word "hitters" it spells out something else completely. We can't imagine any parent wanting to see their child in this shirt.
A Cutesy Fail
Once you start getting a little older, you can’t always count on your mind to lead you to the right destination.
Thankfully, there are t-shirts for that. This cute couples’ tee ensures that grandpa will always find his way back home.
A Dead Minnie Mouse
Before we attack our friend in the dead mouse shirt, Deadmau5 is actually a Canadian DJ.
Unfortunately, this guy didn’t really think through his outfit choice when he donned his band shirt and waltzed right into Disneyland.
Hipster Triangles
Okay, first of all, Texas state is definitely not in the shape of a triangle. Second of all, when did triangles become hipster?
Are we missing some big joke here? What store decided to sell this shirt? It’s all one big fail that somehow intertwines Texas and hipsters, and we just don’t get it.
The Perfect Tee
Buying a funny t-shirt that claims you do dumb things is definitely amusing. But doing something dumb while wearing that shirt turns you into a major fail.
We’re not sure what this kid got into that messed up his hand, but it was probably something dumb. At least he had a t-shirt that was perfect for the occasion!
A Not-So-Great Idea
Lots of things can seem like a good idea at the time. But driving your boat off the water and into the surrounding bush? Did that ever seem like a good idea?
We have to assume that a guy who owns this shirt likely gets himself into all kinds of sticky situations.
Vist Massachubatts
This fail is so simplistic, which is why we had to include it. It’s nothing more than a simple spelling mistake on a street vendor’s t-shirt. If you look quickly enough, you might just miss it.
You know, we’ve always wanted to visit Massachubatts. We hear it’s beautiful this time of year.
Way Too Honest
Yuck! While most of us have probably peed in a pool at some point in our lives, we should all be old to know that it’s not socially acceptable.
But instead of shying away from the truth, this guy chose to advertise it on his t-shirt.
Favorite Hat
While it’s a nice message, we do sense a few problems.
What if you don’t have a favorite hat? What if you lose your favorite hat? Can you only smile if you’re wearing your favorite hat? These and more questions may remain forever unanswered.
Safety First
Everyone used to ride in the back of pickup trucks! Maybe this guy was part of the generation that thought it was the norm. Unfortunately, we’ve since learned that riding in the back of pickup trucks isn’t all that safe.
Doing something very unsafe while wearing a “think safety” t-shirt is too ironic to ignore.
That's Motivating
This shirt is so savage, which is precisely why we love it so much. This older gentleman is obviously running a race and wants everyone to know just how hard it was for him to get here.
Not only is he 50, fat, and diabetic, but he’s also ahead of you. Honestly, good on this guy.
Mom Fail
While it’s all fun and games for us adults, the shirt feels like an odd choice when you have a child standing right next to you.
Is that what she’s teaching her kid at home? What if the little boy doesn’t know that it’s a joke? There are way too many ways for this situation to backfire.
Micky Mouth
Sometimes spelling a word like it sounds works. Other times, however, it creates some serious mistakes. For example, this colossal misspelling of Mickey Mouse.
Maybe the person who created this shirt had a lisp. Even so, Walt Disney must be rolling over in his grave.
A Mess From Start to Finish
This shirt is all kinds of confusing. First of all, 'hamburger' isn’t even spelled correctly. That important mistake is punctuated by the grammar and capitalization errors at the bottom.
“I feel happiness When I eat a him”? What is this shirt even trying to say? Let’s hope no one spent their hard-earned money on this failed tee.
A Fitting Outfit
Talk about dressing for the occasion. Did this man know he was going to have a bad day? Maybe he’s always subtly preparing for an unpleasant time.
Whatever the case may be, his shirt adds some undeniable irony to his situation.
Clear Expectations
There’s something to be said for someone who’s so clear about their expectations. Unfortunately, if your expectations are completely laughable, you probably shouldn’t have them printed on a t-shirt.
Average people don’t really date models, so it’s hard to believe that this grease-stained cook would have much luck in that department.
A Gassy Situation
This man seems to want everyone to know about his flatulence. Using the Chevron gas symbol, this guy is ready to announce the state of his tummy to the entire world.
At least he’s giving us a heads-up so we can clear the room.
Don’t Get Too Close
While it gets a little too personal for our taste, it’s also a good way to warn people to give this woman a nice circle of space everywhere she goes.
Wait...is that why she wore it? If so, she’s a genius. There’s no better way to keep strangers from talking to you than threatening them with a fart.
Real Men
The Beliebers are still alive and thriving in our midst. While they’re not as loud and proud as they once were, they’re still there.
These guys either know exactly what women are looking for, or they themselves recognize the true genius in his music. Taking the Bieber-like haircuts into consideration, we think it’s the latter.
Definitely Not Asia
Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. For this t-shirt designer, geography simply isn’t his strength. Unfortunately, he doesn’t seem to know that.
In case anyone is confused, the continent depicted here is not Asia. Maybe the designer didn’t have anyone there to fact-check his work, but couldn’t he have turned to Google if he was a little unsure?
Feel Lin Dancing
What is happening here? We almost had a stroke trying to read this shirt. None of the words really go together, and the random different colors don’t help.
No matter how we tried to read this tee, we just couldn't figure it out.
Not a Duck
This shirt makes grammatical sense, but we’re still missing a bit of the backstory. Who is the little friend? Why did he call him a duck? Why does he have to apologize?
This shirt is an especially interesting fail because it doesn’t seem like a case of mistranslation.
Found of Walks
If you think they’re fond of walks, you’re wrong. Their shirt specifically states that they’re found of walks.
Not only are they found of walks, however, their heart is also filled with the lovetoxic. We’re not exactly sure what they’re trying to say, but it’s encouraging us to stay far, far away from this mess.
A Serious Mix-up
With a mistake this bad, we have to assume this major t-shirt fail was a purposeful choice.
The band pictured on the front of this graphic tee is Hanson, a ‘90s boy band with a clean reputation. Nirvana, on the other hand, is a darker rock band with an unmistakable grunge look.
Ignore the Haters
Ignore the haters – that’s definitely the motto of this older gentleman. While he’s taking the approach of using the kids’ lingo, we can’t fully label this t-shirt as a fail.
It’s just too great of an attitude to allow us to tear this guy down.
Get Us Out of Here
Yet another shirt that simply makes no sense. Yet someone decided to put it on a mannequin? What is this shirt even saying? Something about a hat and a tooth and getting out of here?
After reading this tee, that’s exactly what we want to do – get out of here.
Oh, The Irony
Whatever his fun and games were, they actually did cause the cops to show up. You’d think he’d be a little more careful when wearing that tee.
Whatever the case may be, this mugshot is definitely one worth keeping. If it were us, we’d have it framed on our fireplace.
Drink Responsibly
While the “drink until you want me” message is a little creepy and dangerous, this girl seems more than happy to comply.
We just have one question – how much alcohol is it going to take? It's a little hard to drink responsibly when you have a man over your shoulder watching your alcohol consumption.
One Letter Makes All the Difference
Some graphic tees are embarrassing because they’re a little too complimentary. This t-shirt, however, is a memorable fail because it’s such an innocent mistake.
Instead of reading “Clap Your Hands,” one inaccurate letter changes the text to “Crap Your Hands.” Apparently, the person wearing the tee failed to notice before they put it on.
Be Stupid
We love a t-shirt that offers some sage advice. While this tee doesn’t depict your typical inspirational quote, it offers something even more valuable – the permission to just be stupid.
Wouldn’t we all like permission to simply turn our brains off? Forget about those adult obligations, logical conclusions, and important responsibilities. Take the time to be stupid!
Your Girlfriend’s Shirt
Honestly, on someone else, this shirt might be irritating, but this older gentleman pulls it off perfectly.
Although his body is aging, his sense of humor is still sharp as a tack. Plus, we do think pink is his color. It combines so well with his white hair and mustache.
Oh No, Oh No.
We just don’t think this sweet lady knows what this shirt really means. Ma’am, it’s not about going to more restaurants!
If she knows what she’s wearing, she’s earned the title of the most savage grandma on earth. Unfortunately, her sweet face leads us to believe that she’s totally oblivious. Poor, poor woman.
Geography 101
With 50 states and an infinite number of cities, it's easy to slip up with U.S. geography sometimes. However, whoever designed this t-shirt has no excuse. Unless "Carifornia" is a whole new U.S. state we never knew about.
We wonder what the nice people of NY, Carifornia are like.
Mr. Insensitive
We know that this guy probably didn't even remember what was written on his shirt as he approached that little pig, but come on, man!
To be fair, the man is either looking at that cute little piggy with eyes of endearment, or he's trying to figure out how he'll manage to make it his bacon for the next morning.
Nobody's Ruining This Guy's Party
This man is having his night out and he is serious about partying. In fact, no hater is going to ruin this man's wonderful night. His message is clear: haters, stay away!
To be fair, that is a very cute top. We don't know who could possibly hate this man.
Pun Intended
Well, we think it's safe to say that we can all agree with this man's t-shirt and what it says. There are few things more enjoyable than a good dump...truck.
And yes, the pun is a little cheesy and could almost be considered a "dad joke," but we still love it.
A Very, Very Old Shirt
This grandma is rockin' this t-shirt! A beer in her hand, a look that says "don't mess with me," and a pink shirt that lets everybody know she's funny as hell.
And hey, nobody ever bothers to read the fine print anyways, so she's bound to turn a few heads from surprised passersby.
Enjoy! Portable Leg Rests
This man probably found that shirt lying around somewhere or picked it up for a dollar at a Target because he doesn't really look like the kind of person who would enjoy carrying a kid around on his shoulders all day.
Then again, maybe this sweet grandpa has just given up and accepted the fact that his shoulders are now his grandkids' official leg rests.
Telling it Like it Is
Maybe this man had that shirt custom-made when his daughter was born, but regardless, that is one father you do not want to mess with.
We know he posed for the photo, but that grin on his face actually makes him look kind of scary.
Don't You Mean Kool-Aid?
It's always a hard fact of life when you have to realize that your kids have lost that naivety and innocence of childhood. But finding out that your kid has a thing for beer at such an early age is just troubling.
Besides, with that cute little face, who's going to deny this toddler this girl her beer?!
Keeping it Real
We can't all be good at the same thing - some of us are geniuses, and some of us are physically strong...and this guy has no shame in it and decided to just be honest. Good for you, buddy.
And by the looks of where he is, that physical strength is going to come in handy at any moment.
At Least He's Honest
Chances are you know at least one person like this in your life, and if you don't, it's just a matter of time before you do.
So, instead of just being annoying about it, this guy just decided to own up to his "falsely inflated ego".
Secret's Out
We think it's safe to say the cat's out of the bag by now. But we have to say, that is a great way to make it public.
That shirt, combined with a woman's lovely face and smile, is sure to get her some dates with some beautiful women by the end of the day!
Sexy Face
Apart from the fact that this boy couldn't look cuter with that shirt and those glasses, he's actually promoting a very important message (apart from "sexy face"), which is that you should never stop studying, kids!
This was obviously a cheap knockoff of 'The North Face, but it actually works!
Become a Door
Maybe this is just the new inspirational phrase among millennials - hey girl, don't worry, just become a door!
And if that doesn't work out, we're sure you can always become a chair or a table, or just wear that shirt and become as ignored as you would be if you were an actual piece of furniture.
Not Fair, Dad
Sure. Dad is giddy at the thought of having his young daughter walk around with that shirt. But that poor girl is going to be single forever!
We have to admit, though, that's a pretty clever and peaceful way of keeping the weirdos away from your kid.
We’ve all seen a rom-com or two that goes something like this: a guy meets a girl and falls totally head over heels in love. But then he does something stupid, and the girl decides to go on that year-long trip to school. So, she heads to the airport, and the guy knows if he’s got any last chance of being with her – this is it.
So, he rushes to the airport to win her back, and he usually does. Some of these signs are super cute and would make nice additions to those Rom-Coms. Some of them are just plain crazy and would make you look twice if you were to walk past one at the airport.
This Military Wife Who Can Barely Wait
This soldier's wife, who has returned from her year-long deployment, is now standing before him, holding a sign that reads "prepare to be de-briefed." And let me tell you, she means business! She's got that look in her eyes that says, "I've been waiting for this moment for a looooong time, soldier boy."
Oh, he's definitely more than willing to oblige! The excitement is palpable, like fireworks ready to explode. They're about to embark on a mission of love and affection that would put even the most intense military operation to shame. Brace yourselves, folks, because this reunion is going to be epic!
Welcome Home
This guy, determined to fill his time while his better (or perhaps not so better) half was gallivanting abroad, delved into a deep investigation of her cell phone record. He meticulously combed through every detail, leaving no room for imagination. From text messages to call logs, he unearthed a treasure trove of information.
With each discovery, he couldn't help but wonder what his ex-girlfriend had been up to during her time away. Now that she's returned from her holiday, it seems she'll have plenty of time to gallivant and explore, given the newfound freedom she's likely to have.
This Willy Wonka Weirdo
So he's dressed up as an oompa-loompa and is proudly holding a sign that reads "chocolate Johnny." Obviously, he is on a mission to pick up his buddy. Now, let's take a moment to appreciate the level of dedication here. Who else would go to such lengths to make a chocolate factory owner feel at home?
It's like stepping into the pages of a whimsical storybook. But wait, there's more! Could it be that they're not just on a casual errand? Oh no, sir. They're probably headed to a mind-blowing party at the club, where everyone will be dancing, singing, and probably doing the Oompa-Loompa dance.
Anna’s Got 99 Problems, and This Guy Is Definitely One of Them
Oh, man, poor Anna. All she wanted was for her next-door neighbor to pick her up from the airport after her 10-hour flight back home. Too bad he has a terrible sense of humor. Anna stepped out of the airport, expecting a warm welcome.
Then, she found her neighbor standing there with a sign that said, "Anna, I know it isn't mine, but I'll raise it as my own." She couldn't help but burst into laughter, partly out of relief that her flight was over, and partly because she realized her neighbor was a hopeless prankster. Well, at least she knew she could count on him for a good laugh.
Love on Lockdown
Well, well, well, look who's back from her "extended vacation"! The family is standing proudly, holding a sign that cheerfully declares, "Welcome home from prison, Mom!" It's safe to say that the days of feasting on those budget-friendly ramen noodles are officially over. Farewell, noodle-filled nights, and hello to culinary adventures beyond the cell walls!
But hold your horses, kids! Let's not forget that Mom has had some serious time to hit the prison gym. Those biceps are looking mighty impressive. So, if you were planning any shenanigans or mischief, it's time to reconsider. Mom's newfound buffness might just give her the upper hand in any disciplinary showdown
In Your Face, ICE!
Although we sincerely hope that this sign was created solely for protest and not because the person who made it was really missing a family member, it's hard not to appreciate their dedication to creativity.
As the person approached the arrival area, she couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of the sign that read, "Welcome back to America. No wall can keep us apart." Clearly, this person had some serious arts and crafts skills and a knack for humor. She secretly hoped they would be there for her next arrival, just to see what hilarious sign they'd come up with.
When You’re Waiting for Your Boss
They're just following orders, man. Their boss can be a real nightmare. Seriously, though... that's some major commitment. As the weary traveler approached the arrival gate, they couldn't help but notice a group of Stormtroopers standing there, holding up a sign that simply said, "Vader." Talk about dedication to the Galactic Empire!
The tired traveler stifled a laugh, imagining someone dressed as Darth Vader emerging from the plane. The force was definitely strong with these troopers, bringing a touch of intergalactic humor to the airport terminal. Here's to hoping the real "Vader" reveals themselves, lightsaber and all, adding an epic twist to the mundane arrivals.
These 20-Year-Old Orphans
We hope that they were able to find a family with huge hearts that could raise them as their own. Poor children, they're so hungry and cold! Wait a minute... are those the same kids who were holding up a sign at the airport last week? You know, the one that said, "3 sassy orphans seeking loving parents"?
Wow, talk about entrepreneurial spirit! These kids really know how to market themselves. Maybe they've upgraded from airports to street corners now. Who knows, with their catchy signs, they might just land themselves a starring role in a sitcom or a book deal.
This Sweet Girlfriend
This girl went to the airport to pick up her boyfriend and their best friend. She didn't want the friend to feel left out... we hope. Or hey, maybe it's a poly thing, and they're all in it together. As she stepped out of the car, holding up a sign that said, "The 2 hottest guys at this airport," heads turned, and eyebrows raised.
Talk about confidence! The girl had no intention of letting anyone doubt the level of hotness her entourage possessed. People couldn't help but wonder what kind of adventure awaited this trio as they strutted through the airport, turning heads and breaking hearts.
It’s the Motion of the Ocean
But poor Richard apparently has one little boat. Maybe he got in trouble, and this is his punishment. Or perhaps he's just a humble sailor with a modest vessel. Either way, his sign proudly proclaiming "Richard Littled**k esq." certainly caught everyone's attention. People passing by couldn't help but chuckle at the self-deprecating humor and admire his ability to embrace the situation with a smile.
It takes a special kind of person to poke fun at themselves, especially when it comes to matters below deck. Richard's lightheartedness is truly an inspiration, reminding us all that size doesn't matter when it comes to laughter.
This Awesome Bromance
This guy, with his neon-colored poster board in hand, is standing there proudly holding a sign that reads, "Welcome home from rehab." Now, that's a friendship worth celebrating! It's not every day you find someone willing to publicly declare their support for your post-rehab return.
But, wait a second, what's that drawing on the sign? A beer mug? Well, well, well, it seems like our friend here might be hinting at a slight possibility of relapse in the future. Let's just hope it's just a playful jest and not a foreshadowing of repeat visits to rehab. After all, once is enough, buddy!
Revenge
Oh, the drama unfolds! Here we have a guy, holding a sign that boldly proclaims, "Guy who knocked up my sister." Well, well, well, it seems like your best friend has gone from buddy to brother-in-law, and now he's about to become a dad. This is definitely a plot twist of epic proportions!
But fear not, dear sign holder, for revenge is a dish best served with a side of sleepless nights and two-year-old tantrums. Yes, the universe has a funny way of balancing things out. As you pick up your friend from the airport, prepare to unleash a verbal storm that will make the whole world shudder in awe. You'll let him know just how unforgivable this whole situation is.
A Big Thumbs Up
When the stars align and the photography skills fail, fear not, for Marla's friends have arrived with their cardboard salvation. Armed with creativity, a black marker, and faces that could rival Picasso's abstract masterpieces, they proudly hold a sign that asks, "Who's excited to see Marla? These girls!" Bravo, ladies, bravo.
Now, let's be honest, if we were Marla, we might find ourselves contemplating a quick escape to the "something to declare" section of the airport. Because let's face it, once you've seen those hilariously ridiculous faces, it's hard to contain the laughter or the urge to run for cover.
Poor, Poor Mumsy
This woman arrives to a heartwarming scene where her sweet daughter proudly holds a sign that says, "Mumsy, welcome home," while her not-so-helpful husband raises a sign that bluntly declares, "Wifey, the house is a mess." Talk about a reality check! Now, it seems this clever woman had a brilliant idea upon witnessing the domestic chaos.
With a swift 180-degree turn, she promptly declared, "I'm taking another two days' vacation!" Who can blame her? Sometimes a little more time away can do wonders for one's sanity. Perhaps it's high time this family invests in a Roomba, that trusty robotic vacuum, to navigate the labyrinth of mess left by the lazy husband.
This Trio of Giddy Military Wives
It seems like everyone was ready to shine, except for dear Martha in the middle. Oh, Martha, we're looking at you, my friend, with a mixture of amusement and curiosity. But here's the real puzzler that's got everyone scratching their heads.
If Martha didn't make that sign in advance, where on Earth did she find that conveniently placed shoelace that's magically keeping it around her neck? Did it fall from the heavens, gifted by mischievous angels of last-minute signage? Or did it spontaneously materialize from the depths of her pockets, amidst a treasure trove of forgotten trinkets? The truth remains a captivating mystery, dear Martha.
Tom’s Friend Who Wants to Be More
Our dedicated sign holder keeps dropping hints, hoping to capture the heart of his beloved Tom. Alas, it seems Tom is either oblivious to his secret admirer or quite masterful at skillfully relegating him to the depths of the dreaded "friend zone." But let's entertain another possibility, my friend.
Could it be that Tom simply isn't interested in taking the plunge? Oh, dear sign holder, it's time to face the truth. Maybe Tom's heart beats to a different rhythm, and your romantic advances aren't quite hitting the mark. It's a tough pill to swallow, but fear not! Love's path is a winding one, filled with unexpected twists and turns.
This Intelligent Baby
Not only can this baby conquer the complexities of diaper changes and babble, but he's also a budding Picasso in the making! Just check out that sign he crafted with his own baby hands! Move aside, Michelangelo, we have a pint-sized artist in the stroller! It seems Mommy's got some serious competition in the funny department.
Who knew parenting could be such a comedic adventure? No wonder Daddy's coming home to find both laughter and a little extra workload waiting for him. Kaden, the multitasking prodigy, has already mastered the art of delegating tasks. Watch out, world, because this adorable bundle of trouble is ready to take on graphic design and diaper duty simultaneously!
Hugh Jarse? I’m Here for a Hugh Jarse
With every passing minute, the suspense builds. Will his long-lost twin brother, Mr. Hugh Mungus, suddenly emerge from the crowd and reveal this whole charade as an elaborate sibling prank? Or will a surprise flash mob of stand-up comedians surround him, performing a routine dedicated to the hilarity of this sign?
One thing's for sure, though. As Mr. Hugh Jarse arrives on the scene, a beacon of unintentional comedy, we can only hope that his welcome party puts a smile between those huge cheeks of his, putting an end to this sidesplitting airport adventure. Hang in there, Mr. Jarse, your moment of airport glory awaits!
Aunty M
With his unwavering dedication, this newborn baby is here to ensure that his beloved auntie bids farewell to her solo adventures and embraces the exciting world of couplehood. But hey, let's talk sign strategy, folks. "Cute" might not be the most effective word to describe this single aunt.
Perhaps "irresistibly charming" or "captivatingly available" would have done the trick. If that doesn't do it, we don't know what will. Babies are natural-born attention magnets, after all! But hey, if this sign magically attracts a lifelong partner for this cute auntie, we'll gladly set aside all our doubts and join the celebration!
This Incredibly Sweet Brother
Looks like someone's got a bone to pick with dear old Jody! This young man isn't holding back on his true feelings. Ouch, that's a one-way ticket to Sibling Rivalry Land! But before we start conjuring up visions of family feuds and dramatic showdowns, let's remember that siblings have a language all their own.
This sign is probably just another quirky inside joke between them. If you've got a brother or sister, you know the drill. Those eye-rolling moments, cheeky jabs, and playful insults that only siblings can dish out. It's all part of the crazy ride called siblinghood. It's just her brother's twisted way of saying he loves her.
When You Finally Meet Your Online Friend IRL
This young man knows exactly what he's looking for: a resto druid to accompany his prot pally in the epic realm of "Israel HC." Move over, Tinder, the World of Warcraft is now the realm of romance! As he stands there at the airport, proudly displaying his sign, you can't help but admire his dedication to finding the perfect gaming partner.
Forget roses and candlelit dinners, this duo is all about conquering the Battle for Azeroth together! May your virtual battles be victorious, your internet connection be strong, and may you never run out of pizza and energy drinks as you embark on this WoW-inspired journey of love and gaming.
The Inlaws
Picture this: Christmas is around the corner, and your brother and sister-in-law are coming over for the holidays. So, before preparing the fancy holiday dinner, you have got to prepare a welcome sign for the airport. Some cropped out photos, some all caps lets written with magic markers and 7 hours of hard work later, and we have this unforgettable moment.
For the very best Christmas welcome in the history of humankind, you will use the most embarrassing photos of the two that you can find. After all, 'tis the season to be silly, so this couple knows exactly how to celebrate. Kind of makes you wonder where family values and unconditional love have gone to...
This Bittersweet Symphony
We've got a true margarita maestro on our hands! This seasoned connoisseur knows that it's always 5 o'clock somewhere, and he's prepared to bring the party to the airport. Cheers to this guy for his portable margarita stand! But hold on a second, amigo. Is that the tequila in his hand?
You can't have a margarita without the most vital ingredient! We hope that's what he's got to mix and complete the ultimate margarita experience. So, Mr. Margarita Man, may your future endeavors involve not only the mixer but also the magical elixir that turns a mere cocktail into a legendary libation. Salud!
Definitely Michael Jordan
Here we have this wise old gent, holding up a sign that says "Michael Jordan." Maybe he's just a proud dad, eagerly awaiting his son's arrival, whose name is definitely not the same as the basketball legend. Or, hear us out, perhaps he's on a secret mission to intercept the elusive "Basketball Car" that only appears after landing.
Imagine the disappointment when his son finally arrives, only to find out that he's not the legendary Michael Jordan, but just a regular guy named Dave. Talk about a slam dunk of misunderstanding! You never know when a superstar might make an unexpected landing at the airport.
Now Under CIA Interrogation
Little did this young man know that the name on his sign would catch the attention of some not-so-friendly folks in dark suits. Turns out, his buddy's name was Eddie, not Edward Snowden, the infamous whistleblower. Oops, talk about a case of mistaken identity!
We can only hope that the feds quickly realized their blunder and didn't subject poor Eddie, or our sign-holding hero, to an underground adventure that rivals a Hollywood thriller. Fingers crossed they didn't join forces with Bond and go all secret agent on them! Let's just say it was a case of airport humor gone wrong, and hopefully, our young man escaped the clutches of overzealous authorities with nothing more than a good story to tell.
A Blonde Walks Into An Airport...
Bless her heart, this young lady thought she had it all under control when she confidently held up her airport welcome sign. Little did she know, she had inadvertently flipped the sign upside down, turning "Idiot" into a hilarious display of her own unintended self-roast!
Talk about getting burned! Someone, quick, grab the aloe vera because this blonde has just suffered a comedic sunburn of epic proportions. It's a good thing laughter is the best medicine because she's going to need a hefty dose of it to recover from this embarrassment. But hey, let's give credit where credit is due. Not everyone has the ability to turn a simple welcome sign into a hilarious viral moment.
Thank God
Oh boy, this guy is coming home to a whirlwind of financial and wine-related crises! As he arrives, he's greeted by his wife and adorable daughter holding a sign that screams desperation and hilarity. "Thank God you're home...I'm out of Money and Mom's out of wine." Talk about a warm welcome!
It turns out, in his absence, the house experienced a power outage for three whole days. Can you imagine the chaos? These poor girls were left in the dark, literally! But fear not, Dad! Your return brings hope not only for restored electricity but also for the much-needed resupply of wine. After all, it's a universal truth that happy moms make for happy households.
This Enormous Head on a Stick
Ah, the art of creativity and hilarity combined! This dynamic duo is going all out to make sure their friend Mokie feels the warm embrace of their welcome. With a giant cardboard cutout of Mokie's head held high, it's safe to say that there won't be a single chance of missing that sign. Bravo!
But wait, there's more! Once the welcome festivities are over, they can repurpose that larger-than-life Mokie head to give the neighborhood kids a fright on Halloween. Talk about a multitasking masterpiece! Who needs traditional spooky decorations when you've got a gigantic Mokie head ready to elicit screams and giggles?
Aye Aye Captain
Not a lot was invested in this airport pickup sign; however, it doesn't matter as it's the thought that counts. Or is it only Captain Sneeze Fart that counts? We really appreciate the creativity here and how it just hits us in the chuckle glands. See? We're hahaha-ing all over the place right now!
Apparently, Jon (that's the guy's name) never saw this sign when he walked out of the airport, and the little girl was left standing there all alone. We are pretty sure his wife made him go all the way back in just not to disappoint her again.
Later Gator
Welcome to the Sunshine State, Sarah. We’ve got beautiful beaches, palm trees, and alligators lurking around every corner! But don't worry, they only bite if you try to steal their sunglasses. And speaking of sunglasses, make sure you bring a pair because the Florida sun shines brighter than a disco ball at a carnival.
You'll feel like you're living in a giant microwave, but hey, at least it's a microwave with a beach view! Just be careful not to mistake a palm tree for a coconut and try to climb it. Trust me, it won't end well, and the squirrels will never let you live it down. So, hold on tight, Sarah, and get ready for a wild, sunburnt adventure in the land of endless sunscreen!
It Is Yours!
Here is a creative way to tell your partner (soon-to-be ex-partner) that the baby this young lady is carrying is, in fact, his. Or at least, she wants to believe it is. Ever watched that Maury Povich show where he tells couples who the father actually is? We're getting serious vibes of that show right now.
Maybe he already knows the baby is his, and he decided to pull a runner and escape the country. In that case, maybe she heard, by chance, that he was coming for a homeland visit and couldn't miss an opportunity. Parental revelations can come anywhere, even at the airport!
Smooth Operator
This suave dude thinks he's the James Bond of love, solving the mystery of finding women with a simple airport sign. Move over, Tinder, we've got the "Sign of Seduction" in action! His confidence is as high as his hair gel budget, and he's convinced he's a smooth operator. He's got the suit, the shades, and the charm of a used car salesman.
Who needs pick-up lines when you can let a cardboard sign do the talking? Maybe he's onto something here. It's like a real-life game of "Where's Waldo?" but instead, it's "Where's Mrs. Right?" Let's hope this love-seeking strategist doesn't accidentally attract any Italian chefs or fashion models looking for a quick bite of pasta or a catwalk partner!
Someone’s Going to Learn Today
Okay, mom, do you like washing dirty underwear? No? Well, uh, time for some lessons in the laundry! It looks like it’s time for a store run, too. Always, always keep backup undies for emergencies, kids. But let's be serious for just a little bit here - these two kids don't have underwear on right now!
It's kind of crazy to think that the dad had all this time and resources to put together this pretty creative airport welcome sign, but didn't have the time or ability to take care of the laundry. Some husbands just can't do anything without their wives!
This Super Pumped Army Wife
Well, well, well, look who's reporting for duty, or should I say "booty"! This guy must have hit the jackpot when he landed back home. Forget the medals and heroic tales, he's got something way more enticing waiting for him. His wife knows how to make a homecoming memorable.
"A. Neal, report for booty!" Talk about a warm welcome! It's like she's the commander of a secret squad specializing in surprises. And you can bet he's saluting his way through the airport with a smile from ear to ear. It's clear that this soldier's heart is in safe hands, and his booty is in for some serious R&R!
Simon Says Buh-Bye
Oh, Simon, Simon, Simon. Did you really think a selfie stick would be the key to eternal happiness? Britney is not impressed, our friend. She gave you a fair warning, and now you're facing the consequences. It's a classic case of selfie stick sabotage. Your relationship is like that stick—extended, but ultimately fragile.
Goodbye, Simon; it's time to strike a pose all by your lonesome. But hey, chin up! With that extendable arm of yours, you can explore uncharted selfie territories. Go forth, Simon, and capture all the solo adventures your heart desires. Just remember, the selfie stick may have brought an end to your love story, but it's just the beginning of your selfie empire!
Awkward Carpools
Ah, the joys of impromptu rideshares! It's like a game of Russian roulette with strangers and their questionable playlists. Poor Alice, she must have been thinking, "What did I get myself into?" as she hopped into the mystery car. The anxiety of not knowing who her co-passenger would be was probably worse than watching a horror movie with the lights off.
But hey, look on the bright side, at least there was no middle seat torture involved. No awkward leg-touching or passive-aggressive elbow wars. It's the small victories, you know? Here's to hoping Alice arrived home unscathed and without any cringe-worthy conversations about the weather. Lesson learned: double-check your rideshare settings next time, Alice!
Secret Service
Well, well, well, look who decided to spice up the airport pick-up game! These roommates took their buddy's arrival to a whole new dimension, literally. Dressed as the Men in Black, they're ready to welcome Miss Wilson with some extraterrestrial pizzazz. It's like a sci-fi convention crashed into the airport!
Five stars for creativity and commitment, gentlemen. But let's hope they don't accidentally attract real aliens. Can you imagine the chaos if a little green space creature or a tentacled being mistook them for their undercover agents? It would be the ultimate case of mistaken identity. Good luck, Miss Wilson, and may your arrival be free of any intergalactic encounters!
Clans and Kilts
Ah, the prodigal traveler returns! Douglas of the clan McGregor, are you ready for the kilt-wearing, bagpipe-playing, haggis-eating extravaganza that awaits you? Your friend (or maybe long-lost brother?) went all out to welcome you back. It's like Braveheart meets a family reunion, Scottish style.
Perhaps they've been practicing their Scottish accents and can now recite Robert Burns' poetry with precision. Or maybe they're secretly plotting to steal your supply of shortbread cookies and claim the title of the true McGregor. Either way, Douglas, embrace the plaid and prepare for a cultural whirlwind. Let's hope your Scottish adventure is filled with more kilts than conflicts and more whisky than wild haggis chases!
These Super Honest Bros
Welcome home, Matt! Your friends tried to pull off the perfect airport surprise, but it seems they had a slight slip-up. They decided to spill the beans about your sister's pregnancy right there on the sign. Oops! They couldn't resist sharing the big news, even if it meant potentially stirring up some family drama.
Let's hope you're cool with whoever did the knocking up, otherwise, things might get as explosive as a gender reveal party gone wrong. Brace yourself for a rollercoaster ride of emotions, Matt. It's a wild journey called family, where surprises come in all shapes and sizes, and the term "baby shower" takes on a whole new meaning. Good luck, buddy!
Straight to the Point
Wouldn't it be the most awkward thing if your estranged father turned up to welcome you at the airport? That's pretty much what happened to this young lady. Who are you, Rebecca, and where are you coming from? Is this girl next to Darth Vader actually Rebecca, or is Rebecca about to come into the arrival lounge, finally figuring out who her father is?
All this and much more, on the next episode (which is going to be far more fascinating and shocking than anything you have ever seen) of Star Wars. If this plays out how it's supposed to, we guess Rebecca is strong with the force and can help bring down the Empire.
This Amazing Name that we Hope Is Real
Hold the phone! Dan Gleeballs has arrived, folks! Brace yourselves for some serious name envy. We can only imagine the adventures this guy has had with a name like that. From getting called "Gleeballs" during roll call to enduring endless jokes about his ballsy surname, he's been through the ringer.
But hey, he's here now, and we're ready to give him a hero's welcome. Let's hope he embraces his unique moniker and becomes the legend he was born to be. We're talking Dan Gleeballs, the one who fearlessly bounces through life, defying the limits of laughter and making everyone's day a little more, well, ball-tastic! Welcome, Dan Gleeballs, welcome!
This Super Sweet Husband
Looks like we've got a presidential security guard on our hands! And what's this? A sign that reads "Smoking hot Carolina girl"? Talk about turning heads! This guy is rocking the uniform like a boss, giving those Secret Service agents a run for their money. His wife finds it adorable, and so do the single 40-year-old divorcees passing through the airport.
They're all secretly hoping for a presidential-style security detail to protect their hearts. Forget Alaska, ladies; this smoking hot Carolina girl has got it going on! Let's hope he doesn't accidentally spark an international incident with his irresistible charm. Security breach of the heart, coming through!
As Good as It Gets
This is probably as good as it gets. If you are planning to return from a trip, this is how you want to be greeted at the airport. This is as good as it gets. For those of you who aren't completely aware, this is a reference to the classic comedy "Dumb and Dumber."
Jim Carrey's Lloyd Christmas takes Mary Swanson to the airport at the start of the movie. Having such a beautiful redhead driver waiting for you couldn't be more comforting, and holding a sign making others think you are an actual celebrity, then in our eyes, you have certainly won the jackpot.
The Class-Clown
Mr. Suit-and-Sign has definitely decided to make a bold statement! "Loose women" it is, huh? Talk about a sign that screams "Adventures in Misinterpretation!" It's like he's playing a risky game of airport sign roulette. Maybe he's trying to start a social experiment or simply embracing his inner Casanova. But let's be real, his sign might as well read, "Looking for chlamydia. Apply within." Oh, dear.
It seems subtlety wasn't his strong suit when crafting that sign. It's a classic case of foot-in-mouth syndrome, sign edition. Well, dude, you've officially made your intentions known. Let's just hope you attract more laughs than lawsuits and find a sense of humor to go along with your misplaced signage.
Musical Cab Seats
Now, we know, we know, it's the name of a band and all, but let's be real here—would you really step foot inside that guy's cab? He's got a sign that screams "potential serial killer with a killer playlist." Sure, he might have great taste in tunes and an unexpected sense of humor, but we're not taking any chances.
Who knows what kind of wild ride awaits in that death cab? Is it just a clever band reference or a cryptic warning? Time to hail a different cab, folks. Safety first, jams second. Sorry, death cab for cuties, we'll catch you at a less menacing venue!
If You Have Something to Say, Say It Now
There can't be a better way to tell your partner that you know what they have been up to. Instead of losing it on the phone, this guy chose to humiliate her. And he chose to humiliate her while welcoming her back at the airport, of all places.
This is one of those moments we wish we could be a fly on the wall just to see Michelle's face when she walks into the arrivals lounge, waiting to be greeted by her soon-to-be ex, very satisfied husband. Unless this is some sort of sick joke though, we kind of want to look away for what's about to come next...
Failed
This girlfriend wanted one thing and one thing only from her dorky boyfriend. She asked him to embarrass her when he picked her up from the airport. But you know what they say, "be careful what you wish for," right? This was the last thing she had on her mind.
All she wanted was for him to make an embarrassing sign or share a funny photo of her. She wasn't expecting him to dress up as a dinosaur and hold this joke of a sign. But if this doesn't get the juices flowing between the two, we don't know what will.
Never Graduated
Either the dude who prepared this sign never graduated from elementary school, or this must be read with a strong new york accent. Either way, we had to read it a few times before it made us laugh. To be fair, it would probably be more effective if he just repeatedly yelled this at the airport.
This dude's mother probably found the whole thing very amusing only because she missed her son to bits, but seriously, even we know that AYO is spelled without an A. It's YO, MA! If that doesn't bring you back down to earth after traveling, what will?
“Aww, C'mon, Mom.”
This mom takes the cake for undying love with her airport welcome sign extravaganza. Front side: "Joe, it's me...MOM, remember?" Classic mom move, reminding her son of their unbreakable bond for all to see. But wait, there's more! She flips the sign to reveal the back side: "He's my baby."
Oh boy, the cringe is real! She's not just content with embarrassing Joe, she wants the whole train station to know that he's forever her precious little bundle of joy. And let's not forget the feather boa! Because nothing says "I'm here to embarrass you" like a fabulous accessory that screams "MOM POWER!"
Pucker Up, Why Don't You?
We are not sure who is supposed to be more embarrassed here. The guy who prepared this sign or his girlfriend who is about to see it as she's getting off the plane? Listen, it's perfectly normal to plant a huge kiss on your loved one when meeting them at the airport. But like this?
Whatever the case may be, we suggest this dude keeps his wishes at home and let the young lady decide if she will pucker up for him or not. It's not for the world to know, especially not after making this sign. Some public displays of affection just shouldn't be public.
I’m Not Smiling, Are You Smiling?
It seems like we stumbled upon a rather peculiar sight at the airport. This woman is holding a sign that says, "Smile if you touch yourself." Now, that's one way to create a memorable reunion! We can't help but feel a mix of amusement and a touch of discomfort. It's as if she's mastered the art of awkwardness.
We're not sure if she's trying to send a secret message or if she's just a mischievous prankster. Either way, we're quickly hailing a cab and stepping away, keeping our eyes on her as we retreat like a confused penguin waddling backward. It's time to exit stage left before things get even stranger!
Hide Your Sheep!
As Sean walks into the arrival hall, he spots his best friends eagerly waving a gigantic sign that reads, "Welcome home Sean! Congrats on your parole! Remember, you can't be within 100 yards of that sheep farm!" Now, that's a warm greeting filled with awkward reminders.
Poor Sean's face turns a vibrant shade of crimson, not out of excitement but out of sheer mortification. It's not every day that you want the whole world to think you have a peculiar fondness for farm animals! Well, at least Sean's buddies know how to make an unforgettable statement, even if it's one that leaves us all sheepishly amused.
Someone's Been a Naugty Girl
Brace yourselves for some holiday-themed hilarity in the arrival hall. We've got a fella dressed as one of Santa's cheeky little elves, holding a sign that reads, "Santa's naughty list - Courtney Payne." It appears that Courtney has caught the attention of this merry mischief-maker.
This elfin character insists he won't budge until he gets his hands on Courtney. We're not sure if this is a case of misplaced holiday cheer or a bizarre North Pole vendetta. We suggest Courtney swiftly make an appearance to save us all from this overenthusiastic, sign-wielding elf on a mission. It's time to bring in some jingle bells.
Short Bald Mexican
This clever lady was quick to narrow her husband down in the most brutally simple way. Bravo, madam! With that description, she's guaranteed to scare away any potential admirers who might find her hubby irresistible. She's basically created a force field of unattractiveness.
Step aside, ladies; this man is off-limits! Little do people know, her husband is actually a tall, handsome hunk, returning from a business trip in style, dressed in a three-piece suit. Prepare to witness jaws dropping and hearts skipping a beat as he struts into the arrival lounge, looking like a dashing Hollywood star. Wishful thinking, perhaps.
Best Husband Ever
This is the man every woman dreams about. He is the perfect marriage material; he will forever support you and will never pull a face when you travel to Florida for a bachelorette party. However, there is a price to pay, and one that many men out there might not be willing to pay.
Whenever you return from one of these parties, you will find him waiting for you with a great big smile on his face and an impressive sign like this. You've been warned. We can't help but take out hats off to this pretty ingenious airport welcome sign. A lot of thought went into it!
That Time of Year
It's the most wonderful time of the year for fashion faux pas! When your best friend promises to pick you up from the airport for Christmas, you better prepare for a jingle-jangling extravaganza. And lo and behold, here he is, wearing a suit that looks like it was attacked by a Christmas tree!
Complete with ornaments and twinkling lights; this guy is ready to sleigh the fashion game. He spent a whole Benjamin on this masterpiece. Meanwhile, we can't help but wonder what's going on inside the head of the poor soul sitting a few rows behind, contemplating life choices and wondering if this is all a jolly holiday nightmare.
Two Dog Travel
Here she is, giving a "Texas size" welcome to Lauren! We've got a unique proposition on our hands. Apparently, it's a two-hour drive to pick up Lauren, and to ensure she feels truly welcomed, our airport heroine has kindly mentioned that they have gas. Now, we're not talking about the fuel kind.
Nope, we're talking about the kind that makes you double-check that your windows are rolled down and that the fresh air vents are wide open. And to make matters even more...interesting, they've brought along two furry friends who seem to have a knack for taking up space and drooling like it's their full-time job.
Never Again
We've got a heartfelt airport welcome sign from an adorable little munchkin. The sign reads, "Welcome home Mommy - Never leave me alone with Daddy again!" Ain't that the truth! Kids have a knack for pointing out the obvious, don't they?
Sure, dads might bring the extra fun factor with their goofy antics, but when it comes down to it, moms are the true champions. We couldn't have asked for a more fitting sign to greet any returning mom. Only children can express such pure and unconditional love. Here's to all the superhero moms out there who deserve this warm, heartfelt welcome.
New Business in Town
If it isn't the brutally honest airport welcome committee! This little boy is holding a sign that doesn't beat around the bush. Talk about cutting to the chase! It seems like anyone can rent these signs nowadays, with customization options galore.
Just pick your desired size, the message you want to convey, and of course, the unsuspecting victim who will be holding it. The pain of a grandson using this sign to greet his poor grandmother is like a triple-dose of guilt and heartbreak. It's like an emotional punch right in the funny bone. Well, at least we can appreciate the directness and creativity, right?
We're Not Exactly Sure...
We've stumbled upon a sign that's as puzzling as it is intriguing! Isn't that a unique way to make an impression? We're not quite sure what to make of it. Is this young lady advertising her own, uh, aromatic interests? Or did she accidentally reveal a secret longing for a niche community of olfactory enthusiasts?
Maybe she was trying to be witty, but it seems like her approach is causing more confusion than laughter. It's as if she wrote this sign in a state of sheer confusion, leaving us all scratching our heads and desperately seeking answers. It reeks of hilariousness.
Thank You for Coming Back
Instead of surprising their mom and his wife, this family decided to update her on the situation at home before getting there. They lived on takeaways for the past week, and there are no clean clothes. Now, what this family didn't take into account is that this woman has just about enough time to change her mind and escape.
She is still at the airport and is as close to "abroad" as she will ever be. It is a classic trope, after all. For some reason, the matriarch of the family has to be the only one who knows how to do everything in the house. And as soon as she leaves for a few days, all hell breaks loose. Classic!
Lost in Translation
It's a good thing they clarified it because, honestly, we were getting ready to embark on a celestial navigation course. But wait a minute, out of all the glittering stars in the sky, how is he supposed to pinpoint his specific cosmic GPS? Maybe he needs a telescope and a sky map to sort this out.
And the second part, if he follows a star, wouldn't he be going up instead of heading towards his earthly abode? Is she subtly suggesting he should take a flight right back where he came from? Love and airport signs are always keeping us guessing and questioning the true depths of their intentions.
Daddy's Girl
This adorable little girl is just doing cuteness in all the right places. Bless her tiny heart and those chubby little hands covered in sticker remnants. It's quite clear she didn't pen those words herself, seeing as she's still mastering her ABCs, but boy, did she go all-out on the decorating front!
Those stickers are a masterpiece of toddler artistry. We can only imagine the pride and joy that'll fill her dad's heart when he lays eyes on this heartfelt creation. It's like a Pinterest project gone wild in the most endearing way possible. Kudos to this pint-sized artist for giving us all the warm fuzzies!
A Loving Son
It seems like this guy's sense of humor knows no bounds! Talk about a creative way to show love and affection! His mission is crystal clear: to bring a blush to his parent's face and make her regret ever going on that "long hiatus" overseas. But hey, at least he's upfront about his intentions, boldly stating that humiliation is his chosen form of endearment.
We can only imagine the mix of emotions his parent experienced, while onlookers at the airport struggled between stifling laughter and giving disapproving looks. Well played, guy, well played. You've managed to simultaneously embarrass your parent and give the rest of us a good chuckle.
Warm Home-Welcome for the Veteran
When any soldier returns home from duty, there is nothing quite like being welcomed back by the ones you love. This group awaits the arrival of their friend, Fire Controlman Celina Chavez, during a homecoming celebration at a Naval Base in San Diego. Chavez was returning to San Diego after a six-month deployment.
We're sure that she'll be touched by her friend's "sweet" welcoming words and that flattering picture of her they're holding up high. Celina probably isn't surprised, and this is just their kind of humor. We still have no idea what exactly a "cotton-headed ninny muggin" actually is.
Desperate Housewives
OK, sometimes there are just too many signs for one single photo, and this is a prime example of two signs too many. They aren't really thematically connected. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that they are both airport welcome signs. That is all.
One of these desperate housewives is good and ready for her husband to get back home to help her out with their toddler. The other is just ready for a make-out session with her hubby. They obviously don't have young kids yet. And thus ends the end of this airport welcome sign fiasco.
You Wish!
We've got a self-proclaimed "Kardashian" enthusiast in our midst! This guy holding the airport welcome sign is like a walking daydream, lost in a world of wild fantasies. Is he imagining himself as a long-lost Kardashian sibling, ready to take the reality TV world by storm?
Or perhaps he's just an avid fan, hoping to catch a glimpse of his favorite Kardashian woman strutting through those arrival gates. Oh, the mysteries of fandom! Who knows, maybe he's even referring to Rob Kardashian, because, let's be real, the Kardashian clan is an empire with more plot twists than a telenovela. It's a Kardashian-esque airport encounter like no other!
That's My Name, Don't Wear It Out
Sometimes you don't really need a sign when you're waiting at the airport since the person getting off the plane already knows who you are. This person, being a mother to her child, likely didn't need to have a sign, and it's not like that sign is very helpful to somebody that doesn't already know her.
Obviously, this mom took the chance to have a joke at her child's expense, something that many parents delight in doing. Hopefully, she only got one person coming up to her while she was holding this sign. Let's face it - don't we all wish our kids forgot we were their parents at one point?
Earning Brownie Points
If you're waiting for someone at the airport, it's for a number of reasons. Maybe you were paid to be there, and every person that comes up to you is just another dollar in the bank. Maybe you're contractually obligated to be there since the person is a family member with no other way to get home, and you're doing your familial duty.
Or, like this guy, the person you're waiting for is your favorite of all time, and you just can't wait to see him or her. Those are the kinds of signs that we love to see - truth be told.
Seems a Bit Mean
Waiting for somebody you are fond of at the airport oftentimes becomes a little boring, but that boredom is usually alleviated by carrying a sign that makes fun of the person in question. This sign has an oh-so-attractive picture on it that we bet few would even recognize as human if not for the eyes and nose and stuff.
Why she picked that picture will remain a mystery to everybody but her and, we guess, the person that is being depicted in the photo. Hard to miss a sign like that one, even if you are trying to ignore it.
That Will Teach You to Leave Me
Airport pick-up signs are not really all that necessary these days, but they still show up all over the place in a new format – embarrassment. Let it be known that the spelling on this sign is one hundred percent intentional, and it is all to give Adam, whoever he is, a big red blush. On his face.
You know, there are better ways to let a friend know that you missed him while he was on a trip. Maybe you could just say something like, “hey, glad you're back, let's go get some food,” or something of that nature.
Yes, Very Pleasant, Glad to Be Back
This is an adorable little picture of an adorable little squirt holding a funny sign, but we'd love to know the backstory behind that kind of sign. Uncle Witty sounds like the kind of guy that would make a trek to Roswell just for the kicks and giggles, but maybe there was something more.
Maybe he was actually abducted, and this sign is for when the government is finally done asking him questions. Other than those two options, there are a few ideas coming to mind. Well, we're sure that Uncle Woody will tell us all about meeting the extra-terrestrials.
Too Much Information – Airport Sign Edition
We're going to go out on a limb and guess that this sign is purely a work of fiction, but we almost hope that it isn't. That's clever. There's also so much detail on this sign that we bet more than one person had to stop and stare while they read it for a few minutes.
We can't even read the tiny script that is in the lower right corner, so we don't even get to know the whole story. All the little stick figures – the one in the center only has half a booty – are the finishing touch on this winner.
Kids Need Their Grandma
It might not seem obvious, but kids should really have a good relationship with their grandparents. On the flip side, grandparents really benefit from being in their grandchildren's lives. These three tots are fully aware that their Nana is a big part of their lives, and they have the airport signs to prove it.
Each of them has something different – apparently, their Nana has been jet-setting around the world for a year now, and they're thrilled to have her back in their lives. We can just imagine the happy smiles and hugs that were had by all once Nana got off the plane.
We Have Places to Be
Many of the signs on this list are happy, nay, THRILLED, to see the person off the plane again. A lot of them, but not all of them. This sign, for instance, tells us that this person had just enough time to make a sign, and that was about it. Get that luggage in the trunk and buckle up, it's cold out here. Or too hot. Something like that.
Look, not everybody can be clever, and some people have to work during the day. They can't just sit and think of funny airport signs all the time. They have some bills to pay!
It's Probably Funny to Some People
So, is this person waiting for Edward Cullen at the airport? Is he waiting for Robert Pattinson? No, it turns out that HE was the person who was flying into town, and his friends thought it would be funny to make this sign.
Are they saying that he looks just like R-Pat? He...does not, really. Well, yeah, he has sort of the same face shape and sort of the same skin tone and similar hair color, but that is about it. Maybe he's really into vampires? Or the “Twilight” series? He clearly doesn't sparkle in the sunlight. This photo is proof.
Hard to Miss
There are a lot of people at airports. So many people that – if you're looking for a specific person or group of people – it might be impossible to see them in the thronging crowds. Of course, there's no way in the world to miss this pair, even if the guy looks perfectly normal. The lady, on the other hand, is...well, she stands out.
Why would she think to wear a big pickle costume for picking up Trevor from the airport? Our guess is it's an inside joke that we'll never understand. And the detail on that sign is quite wonderful; we have to admit.
Oh, Is That What's on the Sign?
The best way to greet someone at the airport is with embarrassment. This article is pretty clear evidence of that fact. This wife decided to give people something to stare at by writing (according to the attached story) an entirely false sign to greet her hubby.
We do hope that the husband is a fan of this kind of humor, and we hope that the wife is willing to feel some of the heat the next time she goes on her own trip. The husband could even use the same sign! Now there is a twist if ever we saw one.
That Sign Is a Ride
Even after you've stepped off the plane, you're going to need another vacation if this lady is waiting for you with a sign. First, you get a happy birthday message, and then you get a stiff reminder that time is unstoppable, and eventually, you'll end up in a senior home with no control of your bowels. Fun!
After that, it's a short message that the dog got at the birthday cake before anybody else could, and finally, a real welcome message. Yes, hold on tight because you're about to go spinning. Siblings can be so brutally honest sometimes.
Not Even a Shot Glass?
It might not be as common nowadays, but back in years past, you would bring souvenirs to people back home when you've been abroad for a while. Generally, these are simple, small items like cups, shirts, key chains, or other small bits and bobs.
It has fallen out as a common practice these days, but you can still hope, right? Just a little bit of something makes it all worth it and is a good reminder that at least somebody got to go and have an adventure. A local treat is a great choice. Because let's face it, presents are all that matter in this situation.
Sorry, I Don't Know Them
This is the kind of sign that you see someone holding, and you think, “glad I'm not the one they're looking for.” Of course, if you are the person these two are looking for, you probably only have yourself to blame. You have to nip that kind of behavior in the bud, or it's just going to continue.
Burning the sign is the best option here. Make sure they're watching you do it, too. Put it in a metal trash can, douse it in gasoline, and toss a match. If other stuff catches fire, well, that's the price they'll pay for this kind of thing.
A Couple of Winners Right Here
In this picture, we see a pair of signs that...well, the one on the left is a little clever, even if it does have that kind of almost-humor that is so popular on the internet these days. Just mentioning something that COULD be funny doesn't actually MAKE it funny. As for the guy on the right, well, at least he has a sign.
You know, not every sign has to make people laugh. It could just say, “welcome home, we missed you,” or something like that. Pointing out that you ran out of ideas before you even started isn't going to earn you any sympathy points.
We're Going on “Maury” Tomorrow
If you're tired of having to pick your parents up from the airport, then this is the tactic to use. But let's be real for a moment here. If somebody saw that sign, they would assume it was a joke, right? There's no person with such low emotional intelligence that they would actually write that on a sign. We hope.
Sure, it is clever, but we don't think it's going to fool too many people. Then again, there are quite a number of fools out there, so who knows? At the very least, the bright colors are hard to miss.
Either Party Could Have Written That
First off, both of these kids look like they're doing fine, so good job, Dad. Second, this kind of “how could you, Mom” energy could have come from either the kids or the dad, though we think the colors have a distinctly kid-like quality to them.
On the other hand, the outlines of the letters are a little too clean and too crisp for comfort, so dollars to donuts, this art project was a community affair. They did all that work, and they didn't leave space for the S at the end of “days,” though. You were so close to perfection.
Such a Flattering Image
It seems to be an unspoken rule that you have to pick the weirdest and least-attractive picture to use for an airport pick-up sign. At least, if you're there to pick up a friend of the same age, anyway. What a snapshot.
She looks like she just took a hit of the sourest lemon to ever be produced, or maybe she ate one of those ghost pepper chips. Or both. This might seem mean to Crystal, but you needn't worry – Crystal got Kristina right back the next time she went on a trip. It wasn't as mean, but it still counts.
Just a Purely Good Moment
Many of the signs on this list are the kind that makes fun of someone or will get a chuckle out of you, but this one is just a sweet image. There's a lot of bad stuff in the world, you know, but not everything is gloom and doom and bad forecasts.
Even now, you can still have two people just being cute together. No jokes or deprecation, even if it is in love. It is just a bright green sign with a couple of cute little pears and a bunch of hearts, and everybody is smiling for the camera.
The Microwave Broke
Leaving the kids alone for a long time is a big step in their lives. They get to have a little taste of independence, they get to find out what it's like taking care of themselves, and the parents get to have some time to themselves.
This kid – there are probably more based on the sign – is really glad to see her parents get back, mostly because, apparently, making dinner every night takes a lot of work.
Maybe they did what my parents did and just left six big pans of KFC chicken in the freezer for us. That's not a joke; that happened.
A Young Daddy's Girl
Is there anything purer and more heartwarming than the love between a daughter and her father? It fills the cold, angry cockles of your soul. The story goes that this particular daddy had been on a trip – what kind of trip is not confirmed – for a long three weeks.
While we see two pictures of Dad with a big smile, the following image on this Instagram post has him clearly worn out from work and travel, but he's still picking up his little girl. The little girl gives her biggest smile to the camera. Also, that's a nice little rhyme she put together there.
We're Lost, Too
At first, this just looks like an airport sign that has a little bit more detail added to it, but check out those bullet points. The very first one just says, “The Twerkulator.” We have no idea what that could possibly mean, and we're not sure we want to find out.
The bullet point right under that one says, in all caps, “WORLD.” There are two more bullet points, but we bet that both of them are inside jokes as well, unless these two just really like going to the beach. And more power to them for being all about the inside jokes.
Hold on, What's That Fourth One?
It's small, it's simple, it's well-decorated, and it contains the words “Life Pickler,” so that's pretty much all you need for an airport sign. But, and this might be a small thing, what in the world does “Life Pickler” mean? It may be horrifyingly literal, or it might be an inside joke that we just don't understand.
We do really hope it's the latter. Other than that stand-out element, there isn't a whole lot to talk about here; it's just a fun sign that someone made for her friend. It does have the “give alcohol” joke that has been proven to make some people giggle throughout the article.
So...Who Is It for, Then?
We almost wonder if this lady was just standing in the airport waiting for someone to come up to her that wasn't a missionary. Our best guess as to what was actually the thought process behind this sign is that the lady in question WAS a missionary, but now she's all done and returned home, and the sign is commemorating that fact.
Look, we're not saying it's a great sign, but that's our best guess. We can't really come up with any other ideas, so we're going to go with that one. But we want to know who the sign is actually for...
We Might Be Missing Something
Okay, we looked it up, and “Shen So Su” means “Spirit of healing and love,” apparently. It's a crystal meditation experience, so, you know...fake. But this sign is still very real, and it's plenty of fun for both of the ladies involved, even if they likely credit positive energies or something like that to their good emotions.
Hey, at least she has a chariot. It for SURE isn't an old Mercury Tracer that has more rust than paint remaining and sounds like an old hog when you start it. We're certain. Also... we want a chariot when we arrive at the airport!
Back to the Basics
A lot of the signs on this list are quite...extra? They have a lot of detail, and a lot of thought went into them, and they're something to remember for a long time. This sign isn't like those other signs. This one was created with thirty minutes to go before the pick-up person had to go to the airport.
As far as we can tell, there isn't anything more to it other than a single piece of construction paper and an old marker. But hey, sometimes that's all you need, right? You just need to know where to go – you don't need a whole song and dance.
We'd Be Excited About an Angel, Too
In case it's a little hard to read, here is what the sign says: “Angel, Do you want to build a sandman?” We can all recognize that as an adaptation of the classic line from the movie “Frozen,” but making a sandman is decidedly harder to put together than a snowman. With enough time, however, you can do it.
There's no evidence about who Angel is – it could be a friend, a cousin, an aunt, or a grandmother. Maybe even a sister. It could be a pet, for all we know. Well, whoever it is, this kid is all about the arrival.
Better to Have a Sign
The reason people hold a sign to meet someone at the airport is, usually, because they don't know the person they are there to meet. You see a sign with your name, and you go to that person. That means that a lot of the signs on this list aren't really necessary, but there's always a chance of some targeted amnesia.
Maybe the person getting off the plane has forgotten everything about his or her previous life! What to do in that case? The answer is simple – make a sign with your loved one's name on it. Foolproof, for sure.
The Perfect Choice
At first glance it might seem like this sign isn't going to be very helpful. After all, it just looks like something that an unknown creature that just so happens to have big feet might shout out in a moment of rage. However, it makes a little more sense once you find out that the person these two are meeting actually has the last name Blarg. Yes.
That's what we are led to believe, anyway. With such a unique name to look for, these two realized they could dress up in costumes, and bigfoot is a choice that can't be beaten.
Too Complicated
Now, this is quite the display. It seems that the person behind this sign wasn't willing to stop with just one strange addition, or even two, or even three, but there had to be a big handful of weird things to greet friend Amy.
Such as a creepy face, a kiwi with scissors, half of a horse that contains words too small for us to read, and reaffirmation of Amy because she's a star. However, we can take from the fact that this was made on a big sketch pad that the person responsible is an artist. That should pretty much clear it up for everybody.
Payback Is a Big Sign
The story behind this one goes that a long time ago, Allison forgot to deliver the passport of her friend, Casey, who had to give up her trip as a result. This was Allison's punishment. When needing to come and pick Allison up, Casey served her revenge. Apparently, Casey took quite a long time rolling through the flight arrival lanes.
Maybe next time don't forget her passport, ALLISON. Otherwise, you might just have to sit in this van as it rolls down one street after the next, going as slow as legally possible, and everyone that knows you will probably see it. Such a shame.
Science Experiment
Parents are about to do just about anything for some peace and quiet. They are also willing to go all the way to fill in for those science lessons the kid skipped. But what happens when the experiment doesn't go as planned?
This is what happens. The parents are stuck with a four-legged companion, and they won't have to worry about kids skipping school anymore. They won't have to worry about a few other things either. Don't we all just wish sometimes that some of our wacky experiments could go wrong and I'll annoying kids will somehow transform into an adorable canine? Just us?
