McDonalds Ad in the Grand St. Red Line Station, Chicago
Reason? It says “don’t stare too long, you’ll miss your train”. But the ad is positioned on the wall behind the train tracks. So the train drives in front of it and blocks it.. and there’s no way you can stare at it and miss your train.

It really is stupid. I was waiting for the red line at Roosevelt on Sunday night, saw this sign and the first thing that popped into my head was a v old lady-ish, “Oh just shut up.”

Of course you can stare at it when your train comes and goes… if the sign is on the other side of the platform!
