The Humor Is in the Sign

Here are examples of a few signs and notices that made me laugh lately. Apologies to the non-Bulgarian speakers for most of what is written on them is in Bulgarian and wouldn't be nearly as funny if I tried to translate it. Click on the image to view an enlarged version.

#2: A note from a "friendly" neighbor left one day on a friend's door. He wasn't even home that day or night:



#3: Sign in an elevator. I really hope I never get stuck in this particular one and get to experience the service of вадене на хора:
