The story Local Man Ignores Comic Sans "Wet Floor" Sign, Loses AirPod to Mop Bucket

I was at Kaiser getting a bunion removed—did you know you can get them on your knees?—and I'm in the waiting room with a couple folks sitting in silence. One guy sneezes. From the corner, a man who looks like he's been there since 2009 says, "I'm gonna squeeze those sneezes out of you." Nobody laughs. Nobody moves. Collective trauma for all. Anyway, the gas storage room had a custom safety sign that looked like it was made by a chicken with Sharpies taped to its legs.

Here's the thing about safety signs: they're either so boring you walk past them into certain death, or they're so aggressively designed that you assume they're lying. My cousin Derek once ignored a "Wet Floor" sign because it was in Comic Sans and wiped out so hard his left AirPod flew into a mop bucket. Don't be Derek. Get custom safety signs that actually look like someone gave a damn when they made them.
