People Share Signs That Made Them Do a Double Take

#26: The Squishiest

Sometimes the best thing about an odd sign is imagining the circumstances that led to its being needed. Nobody would go to the effort and expense of putting up a sign that warns you not to hug the ducks if someone weren’t hugging the ducks and something very bad happened, right?

This one is not too hard to figure out, especially if you’ve ever squished a Squishmallow, so you know that they are, in fact, the squishiest stuffed animals out there. Heck, if I passed a display full of Squishmallows, I’d be tempted to throw a kid in there—just any old kid in arm’s reach. I love picturing the employees’ faces as they walk past the display, look at the busted box, and just sigh, “It happened again.”
