It’s not always how it seems
At least there’s coffee<\/p><\/div>\n

Oftentimes we forget that our lives aren’t just taking place behind the screen of our shiny digital gadgets. As a matter of fact, our smartphone dependency<\/a> takes a chunk out of our face-to-face interactions. Reminders like these are useful; say hello to your neighbor from time to time.<\/p>\n

It’s a code of Man
Mark your dude sanctuary
Seal of “bro-proval”<\/p><\/div>\n

A mancave is a holy place for guys around the world. This sign is “bropropriate” and wards off any unsolicited visitors at a mancave’s entrance.<\/p>\n

Dear J.K. Rowling
This was designed for Harry
Show me to Hogwarts!<\/p><\/div>\n

This sign had to have been inspired by Platform 9-3\/4. If your high school algebra teacher tells you to round up to the next integer, just hand them a copy of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"

Via MyDoorSign<\/a>
If you feel bummed out
Remind yourself of this truth
Turn that frown around!<\/p><\/div>\n

Naturally, this is the best way to conclude a funny sign post. Remember that being yourself is always in style!<\/p>\n
