They thought it was funny... One other idea? Put some of these stupid slogans on t-shirts and sell them at Target! Oh, wait, someone already thought of that...

Recommended site IMO. I don't think the topic post meant to imply that one was found on-site, but rather it deserved professional treatment like from despair.com YMMV --- I think I saw the first 2 in the context of "losing an arm in a press" some years ago, probably metal shop in High school. In a copy room, its stupid. In a metal fabrication shop it makes a little more (obvious) sense. The last one is from (hover on the link):

Signs like this are most likely written by the same people who walk around with a zombified smile all of the time, and can't understand how you aren't in a constant state of euphoria in work. Sign me up for Team Punch Ass. Or is it Ass Punch? No, that's silly. My ass can't punch, or can it? Hmmm.... Bleah.

Look, I'm not saying take a sick day when you have a deadline, or a project looming, or to slough your work off on someone else. But my officemates seem to understand that sometimes one can't take being there, and nobody says a word. Maybe you need to take a personal day with the classifieds if your office is so full of douchebaggery. Shrug.

To me, they are a source of constant merriment. Why o why do I have to work in an office where no-one is stuck-up enough to come up with those things? Everyone is so boringly <i>normal</i> around here. @ <b>Yak Boy</b>- I'm with you, the 14-year old mom would have been an even better idea. Oooh, I love dumbass motivational signs.

It's intended to mean "don't get injured at work" rather than don't be sick or take a vacation. Though I agree that the "deadlines" sign is worthy of a punch in the ass.
