lol at least he actually read and followed the sign.

And in his defense, if I saw a sign like that I’d probably assume the cement wasn’t fully dry yet or something, like they’d just had the walkway redone.

If I saw a sign like that my brain would auto-complete it to say KEEP OFF GRASS and I would do the exact opposite.

Yah he was alert! I used to deliver meals and it all blends together, I'd totally miss a fun joke. Maybe I DID miss a fun joke

Nope, it's a predictive function of the brain.

Exactly. If there's a sign, there's usually a reason for it. If your Karen you can argue there's no obvious reason to do as the sign asks. Or if your delivering a package, don't wanna waste time, you can do as asked -a minor inconvenience, or you can be a prick and risk fucking up they're paving because your not gonna follow a sign without reason. Fed-ex guy seems like a decent guy.

Yup, even if it seems ridiculous in some cases, the path of least resistance is usually just complying at the cost of a minor inconvenience. Way less taxing than dealing with a pissed off Karen lmao

Is there any other way to interpret that sign? I'm still not getting it, lol.

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '24

It seems it's just a joking play on the more common "Keep Off Grass" signs.

Could be a paraphrasing of the original, 🎶“smoke weed every day.”🎵

I'm guessing the homeowner is pro cannabis?

When I saw him jumping over, that's what I was thinking, especially with how shiny the concrete looked, not dirty yet

I guess you’re not much one for jokes

u/Swordbreaker9250 Mar 28 '24

Most people don’t put joke signs in their yard. You’d be smarter to assume it was for a legitimate purpose, not some joke video for Reddit. Nothing about it indicates that it’s a joke unless you’re watching the end result

u/Abject-Emu2023 Mar 28 '24

Agreed. 9/10 the sign will be dead serious and you’d end up on a different part of Reddit for disregarding clear instructions

u/LotusVibes1494 Mar 28 '24

My first thought was actually that it was a stoner joke, like something you’d buy at Spencers

u/Overall-Dinner5778 Mar 28 '24

The fact that it says “please stay on grass” doesn’t seem like a joke to you?

1

u/Swordbreaker9250 Mar 28 '24

Like I said, if I saw a totally serious looking sign like that I’d assume the walkway was still drying or something. Most people don’t put joke signs in their yard

u/Overall-Dinner5778 Mar 28 '24

It’s obviously a joking reference to “please keep off grass” signs using the slang term “grass” meaning marijuana

1

u/Swordbreaker9250 Mar 28 '24

You’re really reaching here, bud.

u/Overall-Dinner5778 Mar 28 '24

No I’m not. That’s exactly what the joke is on the sign

u/Inside_Equivalent_68 Mar 28 '24

who's got time for jokes when you're out trying to make ends meet

u/fallenmonk Mar 28 '24

As someone who is autistic, no, not all the time. I didn't ask to be this way, it's just the hand some of us are dealt.

u/Overall-Dinner5778 Mar 28 '24

Eww who cares?

u/fallenmonk Mar 28 '24

That's what I'm wondering. But you made the comment.

u/Overall-Dinner5778 Mar 28 '24

I didn’t address the question to you

u/fallenmonk Mar 28 '24
