Long time ago saw a sign in a donut shop that read:
DONUT HOLES
3¢ each
40¢ per dozen
Because that’s what every blind person wants. To be perpetually reliant on another person to do something as simple as going to the bathroom.
My high school had a sign above the dumpsters that read,
There is a tall and muscular black woman(settle down trying to paint a picture here) with a neon green mohawk that wears nothing but a pink two piece bikini and drives down the street in a bizarre three well bike that looks like one of those water bikes, it is also neon colors. She drives it in the street to the irritation of traffic.
I remember telling my wife about this bizarre woman and she was like oh yea I’ve seen her, she always rides around like that. I think her parents must have given her no attention at all!
EDIT:It gives me a kick to imagine her doing mundane everyday tasks in the same get up everyday. 
Vision isn’t a binary on/off switch. There are lots of people that could make to the door by themselves (while the driver is taking a cat-nap in the car), but might be unable to distinguish the Men/Women signs especially in low light conditions.
Sure, there’s probably situations where it makes no sense to have a Braille sign, but explicitly exempting those situations in the law is pointless when adding a Braille sign is a trivial expense.
One guy had his foot on the glass of his car when they were driving. That was about it.
As a legally-blind person myself, getting to any door in a public building is a minefield of shin-barking booby traps, absolutely none of them mitigated in any way by any accordance to the Americans with Disabilities Act. An overwhelming majority of legally-blind people cannot read Braille, having become blind in advanced age.
One of my favorite challenges is, when leaving McDonalds, trying to guess which poster-cluttered window is the exit, which has a pushbar on it architecturally blended into the motif. Or trying to get out of a public restroom where the entrance and exit are two different doors, and memorizing how I got to the stall is useless.
I hold the record at Safeway, for kicking a “wet floor” pylon from aisle 3 to aisle 7. Funny, it didn’t help that the word “wet floor” was also on there in Braille.
There is a guy who marches up and down Braddock Road in Fairfax, VA playing a Sousaphone. He has this propeller set-up in the horn so that when he blows the propeller spins. There are a bunch of signs attached, but they are written quite small in light magic marker, so as I’m always driving I never get to read them.
I’ve seen him three Summers in a row, but not yet this year. Absolutely dying to know what that was all about.
When I was growing up in the 1990s, on a few occasions I saw a guy wearing in-line skates, hanging onto what looked like a lawnmower that must have had the motor/engine connected to the wheels, because it was pulling him along the sidewalk. I have this strange memory of him mowing the traffic islands in a large parking lot, but I might be wrong.
A few years ago I saw a stack of televisions in boxes in the middle of an aisle in a grocery store. A sign on top proudly said:
On sale this week:
Colored Televisions
$189.00
I thought that kind of crap went out in the 60s!
For me, it’s the warning label on peanut butter that says, “CONTAINS: PEANUTS.” I know why it’s there, but that just has me shaking my head every time I see it.
There are a couple of things at work we have to ask clients by law. But the law doesn’t say we have to do anything about the answers, only that we have to ask the questions.
I have seen forms that ask “Do you understand English?” with a yes or no box afterwards. Not completely silly, but not the best way of getting that answer.
I think the pond sign might be there because it doesn’t look like it would be that deep. I can see someone thinking it’s more of a puddle.
Where I used to work as a security guard, the building had fire extinguishers in various places with a sign reading, “FIRE EXTINGUISHER HERE.”
How silly! That sign would be silly whether there was an extinguisher there or not!
Years ago, when I bought a new landline phone, thiswas part of the instructions.
It was so mind-bogglingly ridiculous that I laminated and saved it. It still makes me laugh. 
Since the instructions were meant for the general public, I’m stretching the rules just a little to share this gem.
I saw this the other day, which I thought was pretty silly: http://1drv.ms/1o2CtvB
Duh…
Tell me what you make of THIS instruction, from a newspaper article many years ago:
"Do not deposit coin until the other party has begun speaking. This is signified by an end of the ringing and a blank sound. "
You’ve called a mime?
Why is that silly? I’ve seen “No Dumping” signs by business dumpsters all over the place. The dumpsters are there for a specific group, not for everybody in the neighborhood.
Back To The OP
The dumpsters in my apartment complex have the address printed on them. First, I don’t see anybody stealing a dumpster that is at least 5’ x 5’ x 5’ . Second, if somebody did manage, it wouldn’t be hard to remove the address or paint over it.
Golly, no. Only Mel Funn did that.
Elevators in 2 story buildings with a button for floor 1 and a button for floor 2. Just put in 1 button labeled ‘other’ - it closes the doors and goes to whichever floor you are not upon.

That happens in Hawaii - on the main island we had placed service for a big box store with one hauler. We would frequently get calls saying the oversized trash cans are missing, so we would call the hauler who would send their drivers out to collect the cans that were stolen and not entirely repainted by the other hauler on the island. [the stealing hauler would peel off the ‘bumper sticker’ with the customer name and address on them, slap a new one on and set it out. These 1 yard cans are painted specific colors to indicate which hauler they belong to …]
