6. Smart-Aleck GPS
This person’s GPS played a joke on them by accident. They were stuck in traffic and going so slow that it asked them if they wanted to switch to pedestrian mode. It was a big slap in the face.

7. Sharp Knife Warning
Everyone knows that knives are sharp. Adding a label on one that says they are designed to be sharp is just some designer being a jokester. However, we suppose that it will help prevent potential lawsuits too.

8. Correct Answer
Answers.com sometimes gives some pretty funny answers. Mercutio was a character in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Who is responsible for the character’s death? The person who wrote the play, of course.

10. Dr. Hedgehog
It’s a classic game of catch me if you can. The smart-aleck kept adding an “og” to the end of Dr. Hedgeh’s name. It got the doctor really worked up.

11. Smooth Line
Someone attached a pick-up line to the sign for the pick-up line. It’s both cheesy and hilarious. It definitely made us laugh a little bit.

12. Every Day Is The Same
Some renegade employee at Netflix made it so that the movie Groundhog Day kept showing up as a recommendation over and over again. It’s like the movie just kept repeating itself (that is the actual plot of the movie).

13. Drawing Tips
It turns out, drawing a rose or a head of lettuce is easier than we thought. According to this artist, they are just the same thing painted different colors. Besides that, the two are essentially interchangeable.

This is certainly one way to get a cheap iPod touch. It’s a pretty intelligent idea. Although, it’s definitely highly unethical.

16. Reset The Clock
Sarcasm is a big problem in this office. Everyone is always cracking jokes and playing pranks instead of working. Even the sign about sarcasm itself isn’t off-limits.

17. Wet Floor Sign
The sign is at least somewhat accurate. Everything underneath it is very wet. However, technically, it isn’t actually a floor. The janitor is going to have to fish the sign out of the pool now.

18. Electric Car
If you drive a fancy electric car, oil is pretty much a joke. It’s unnecessary. This guy decided to rub it in everyone else’s faces that he was different (better) than them.

19. Mystery Book Selection
A prankster at this Barnes and Noble turned every book on the mystery shelf backward. It’s happening at bookstores and libraries all across the world. Lots of places have bookshelves that are falling victim to this prank.

20. Creative Bike Rack
Technically, they obeyed the sign’s request. The railing is off-limits, but what about the sign pole itself? There is no mention of that.

21. Nice Try
This would have been a lot funnier if the person didn’t acknowledge that they knew their dad was actually referring to a calendar. Hanging up a colander now just makes them look like a jerk.

22. Thanks From Tom Hanks
If you put a period after the “T” in the work thanks, it looks like an abbreviation of the name Tom Hanks. That’s what this troll did. He also put a picture of the actor there to make his point clear.

23. Prom Fail
Rejection is painful. This man thought he could get around the possibility of a no by limiting the choices for answers on his note. However, the woman still found a way to make her feelings known.

24. Fence Advertisement
It turns out if you want to advertise on this fence, calling for permission is just a formality. Not everyone takes it seriously. Some people just do whatever they want.

25. Green Vehicles
The parking space is supposed to be reserved for people driving vehicles that don’t run on gas. However, if your vehicle is painted green, technically, that still meets the requirements. Albeit, in a more roundabout way.

The word “ushers” refers to the employees who show people to their seats at an event. However, it could also refer to the singer Usher. We wonder which interpretation is correct?

Post no bills is another way of saying post no notices. However, that’s only one interpretation. The other is that you shouldn’t post pictures of people named Bill.

28. Fake Entrance
If you don’t read the fine print, you might find yourself looking a little silly. It’s because it’s not really a door. No matter whether you try to push or pull, it’s not going to open.

29. Yes, Indeed
Nothing about this joke makes a whole lot of sense, however, it’s still hilarious. Only upper-class British people use the word quite. That’s what the man with a monocle and top hat is implying.

30. Small Upcharge
It’s not often that you get charged an additional 25 cents for being a smart-aleck. However, for this customer, that’s exactly what happened. Let’s hope that they learned their lesson.

31. Clever Label
This coffee mug label is pretty normal… for the most part. The line at the end giving instructions on how to use it is a little funny though. “For best results, use other side,” it reads.

Here we have another example of Siri being sarcastic. She can be very hilarious. If there was a robot comedian award, she would win it.

This fortune cookie didn’t try to sugarcoat things with some meaningless platitude. It got straight to the point — you love Chinese food. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be eating it.

39. Tough Decision
This vending machine sure knows how to be sarcastic. It has the message “decisions, decisions” on it, yet, the machine only offers water. We wonder which option we should pick.

40. Random Wall Placard
Placards are supposed to have a purpose. However, this one was made as a total joke. It starts out okay, but never really gets around to saying anything important.

41. Half Eaten
“I told my 5-year-old he could watch TV as soon as he ate half of his hot dog,” the dad explained. The kid is a huge smart-aleck. He ate exactly half.

42. Two Halves
This husband also reinterpreted the meaning of half. His wife wanted her sandwich cut in half and this is how he cut it. It is split into two complementary puzzle pieces.

43. Smart-Aleck Vandals
If you try and remove graffiti, you might just invite more graffiti artists to the wall. That’s what happened in this situation. The new white square became a blank canvas.

45. Large Steve Jobs
The intent of the sign is to prevent people from printing dozens of pages at once. It’s a waste of ink. However, there is another way to think about the request.

The dog in the house chewed on the book called “I Could Chew On This”. What a prankster! The dog is definitely in need of a long timeout.

50. Free Diet Cokes?
This sign is sort of a contradiction. Yes, thou shalt not steal is one of the ten commandments. Jesus also said that anyone could come to him to drink though.
