When it comes to security, it’s one of those things that you absolutely want done properly. Even just a tiny slip-up in design or execution could send things spiraling out of control. However, some flaws turn out to be pretty funny, too.

Follow along for twenty instances of misguided attempts at security. They may have you questioning just how safe things are out there, but you’re bound to get a few giggles along the way.

1 – Hard to Enter, Painful to Exit

What do we think about this delicately placed door? It makes entering very difficult and exiting outright dangerous.

2 – You’re On Camera

Or in this case, a polaroid. Trespassers will be documented accordingly.

3 – Lockdown

The pandemic has certainly had us questioning everything. The great toilet paper craze of 2020 made some people think twice about their assets. Here, this precious resource is locked up tight.

4 – Do Not Pass Go

While we applaud the effort, an ambitious visitor could simply walk around this turnstile.

5 – The Contents Are Sealed

Sick of your roommate drinking the rest of your orange juice again? Just adopt this approachable method! The chains really drive the point home.

6 – No Entry

Sometimes when security fails us we have to get a little creative to protect our things.

7 – Come One, Come All

Here is a locked door with a code. Also, here’s the code. For everyone to see.

8 – No Bears Allowed

Do you think this one understood the sign that clearly states it?

9 – Mile-High Club

There’s no dispute: thieves probably won’t go to these lengths to steal this bike. But better yet, how is it getting back down?

10 – Guard on Security

Here’s a proper life hack! Get a stand-in so you can sit out. In this case, a cardboard cutout to do all the heavy lifting in the mall.

11 – Extra Protection

There’s nothing quite like getting headbutted by a thorny goat. These clever folks have gone the extra mile to protect themselves from their friend.

12 – Morning Joe

For some, their own personal coffee cup is sacred. And there are no lengths too great to protect this fact.

13 – Let’s Get Ready to Rumba

Yes, we all know these little creatures as great cleaning companions. But this hack could very well be the future. Take a knife, strap it on, and all of the sudden you have your own bodyguard.

14 – Grab A Bucket and a Mop

Sometimes, safety has to be improvised. If anything, it lets our creativity shine through. No safety goggles? Try a bucket!

15 – New Age Safety

Here’s a literal sign of the times. Beware, pedestrians absorbed in cellphones crossing.

16 – Steal This Bike

Yes, locks work and they’re all the rage – but have you ever tried duct tape?

17 – Guard Goat

Beware, this ‘security dog’ bites! Not to mention he’s adorable.

18 – Shock Therapy

Trespass on this property and the results could be devastating.

19 – World Events

Have you ever needed to come up with personal protective equipment in a pinch? Next time, turn to the newspaper for all your safety needs!
