Talk about pedantic! Hilarious snaps reveal the antics of people who take things FAR too literally
- My Health Gazette shared a list of these funny moments from all over the world
- Some people took signs, orders, or definitions exactly as they saw or heard them
- They have managed to make some very mundane tasks or situations hilarious
Sometimes a mundane task or everyday activity can be transformed into something much more fun when the person follows the instructiona a bit too literally.
My Health Gazette shared photos from all over the world where people followed signs, orders, or definitions to the letter, with hilarious results.
One man confidently rode his unicycle beside a sign which ordered people to not ride bikes, rollerblade, rollerskate, skateboard, ride a scooter… but said nothing about a one wheeler.
Another man who received a parcel which had a bright sticker telling him not to open it with a sharp object posted a picture of himself wielding a mallet over the envelope.
Meanwhile, a customer at a bakery ended up with two cakes iced with the message ‘Happy Birthday on both’ after staff read their instructions far too literally.
In an order for two cakes at a bakery, the staff took the customer notes very literally when they asked for ‘Happy Birthday on both’ – and those sharing a birthday will now know their loved ones
The sign says no bicycle riding, rollerblading, rollerskating, skateboarding, scooter riding… but nothing on unicycling, as this man noticed – and enjoyed riding his very own down the pathway
Perhaps they were in a rush for their prescription? A driver took the concept of a drive-thru rather too seriously by crashing through the wall of a CVS in North Haven, Connecticut

A sponge cake… literally – one woman, presumed to be in the US, pranked her housemates into thinking she’d baked a gorgeous dessert for them to enjoy together, only to find she used the name of the dish to her advantage in tricking them all
No bicycle parking, you say? Well, how about a unicycle? No sign here indicates that this man won’t be allowed to park his one-wheeled vehicle
In any recipe book, you will see the oven instructions and how hot your food needs to be in order to cook it properly. This man in the US thought that the instructions weren’t very clear…
A niche, potentially abstract version of a gingerbread house – this family in the US thought it would be hilarious to put a jar of ground ginger under a ‘house’ of bread
This man took the mick out of the library sign which told people to take care of their valuables, namely iPhones, ‘under watch’… so he did just that
When ordering a few pizzas for your friends or family to enjoy, people always have their preferences. But it looks like they wanted ‘one pepperoni’, and the pizzeria took that instruction very literally
If you look very closely, the sign has been attached with a piece of paper below – so someone has cleverly added to the notice, advising people to not take the words in their literal form
