And now, part 2 of the pedestrian bonk. Unlike the pedestrian with thunderbolt hair, this is where a misshapen head can get you in trouble. Beware all of you oddly shaped headed people, this means you are not welcome here.

For all of you uncoordinated people that are into logging sports. This is obviously not how you do it. Learn to do it right and come back.

Hang out by the shore long enough and you might just see the mythical sad whale of Oregon.
Act surprised.

Yes. it’s the ultimate in irony. A parking lot letting you know they “care”. How great is this? Makes your soul cringe, doesn’t it? As long as you remove all belongings and do not hold the lot owner responsible for anything that might happen to your car, including, but not limited to, lightning strikes and hobos pissing on it. Care = Visa / MC.

I have to say, when I saw this sign in the Netherlands, I was confused as to what was it it was trying to tell me. I am going with a warning about walking towards some gallows. Anyone else venture a guess?

This sign asks an age-old question: what will you do when the hexagons attack? The Italians ask this frequently and they have a sign to reflect their concerns. The very organized hillside will give way and the hexagons will descend on the unsuspecting passer-by. Beware.

This sign is meant to discourage foot/flower contact. This is something that, I think at this angle of attack from the foot, can cause a significant groin pull. Exercise caution!

Yes. The other walking Hungarian man. While the 1st one looked pleasantly chubby and relaxed, this one i believe is meant to stress the pedestrians out. Hurry up, hunch over and cross that street. There is a Tatra truck heading straight for that tiny porkpie hat of yours. Make it snappy!

This is one of 2 Hungarian walking men I came across. I admire him for his debonair air and his mid-section, no doubt softened by too much sour cream enhanced goulash. What gets me though, is the hat. When letting people know that this is a safe area to get your carcass across the road, do you really need to start wondering: Do I have / need a hat to be here??? Come on Hungary. Ditch the hat.

Being in an area that is frequented by zombies I know how hard it can be to get this across. Please, no zombies here. We do discriminate. I know, maybe not the most politically correct thing to be known for, but then again, political correctness was never my forté.

Rather, don’t pet the gears. Bad things will happen to your hand. Mangling will occur.

Old favorite, this one. Press button and then, the ultimate reward. Bacon.
There are some other, meaner interpretations. Like: Press button, get Starbucks dumped on your hands, but I believe the bacon is where it’s at.
