The Most Painfully Idiotic Contradictions You Have Ever Seen

by

One of the biggest thing our proofreaders keep a beady eye out for when proofreading important documents is contradictions. It’s important that your text does not contain any events characters, plot lines and settings that contradict each other and leave your readers scratching their heads. Here are some great examples of contradictions in action.

Sign reads: "Do not enter. Entrance only."

No pets allowed. All pets must be on a leash.

 

Sign reads "duck crossing". Picture shows a horse.

 

Sign says "Stop" and then "No stopping" underneath

 

Top sign reads 'Do not enter". Sign directly below reads "enter only"

 

Sign says "Road closed to ease congestion" positioned next to traffic jam

 

Sign reads: "red light photo" the camera is covered though

Contradictory sign reads: "keep right" but the arrow points left.
