Welcome to NoSafetySmokingFirst!

For images where the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.

One definition of "put on" is as a noun meaning "a prank, hoax, spoof". So, this could actually work as a phrase: Someone gives you a prank and leaves, "Gives you put on and hike(s)"

You saying my feet are too big?

It almost works as a super obscure local saying from some Appalachian town.

I think if I worked in a place that put such annoyingly trite drivel on the walls, I’d start looking for another job.
