Sometimes a “do not trespass” sign just won’t cut it — as these intimidating notices show.
Some property owners and businesses from around the world go to great lengths to keep people away in these signs, which are shared online by social media users and compiled into a hilarious Bored Panda gallery.
A sign in a dentist warned patients of death if they took certain medications, another warned that propellers would cut off their heads if they entered a certain area.
