Re: 1st world problems.

There's also the one for men at work that clearly shows a man opening an umbrella.

Can be hard work, those damn things tend to get stuck much too often, especially those compact ones where the ribs are supposed to fold.

Apropos, there has been a study comparing the sizes of the pile of soil on those signs from across the world, but I can't find it at the moment. Personally I know of the difference between the Dutch and Norwegian warning signs for cattle on road: on the Dutch sign the cow is moving, the Norwegian one shows a stationary one. Which matches the actual animals's (lack of) action.
