True, but it doesn’t guarantee you will get sucked off. It only says “may” get sucked off. So firstly its not a guarantee, and secondly your not entirely sure what will suck you off. Suppose many would still take the chance.
Do any of you guys know anything about trains? *sighs*
the air made by the train going past sucks you under
and you get crushed staright under the wheels of a 2-5 ton carriage so it means
instant death! SIGN WIN!
Not a fail, just a regular sign stating the obvious. Move along.
Let me get these out of the way…
“Bend 0ver, I’ll show you a sign”
“In Sov!et Russia, sign shows you!”
“I really like c0caine, got any cocaine?”
“Next commenter is gay”
“That’s what she said”
Definitely not photoshopped. These are all over some of the stations on the London Tube. You’ll see them if you head in on the Piccadilly line from Heathrow Airport.
Well… not quite. The signs usually say “Keep back from platform edge. Stand behind yellow line”.
Incidentally, if you’re at a small station in England somewhere and there’s an automatic announcement like “A high speed train is approaching and will not stop at this station, stand well back from the platform edge” it’s a really good idea. They suck really hard at 120miles/hour.
No you won’t, not least because this is a British Rail sign, not the Underground. People only imagine that’s what they’re seeing. Actually read them properly sometime.
This is a total Photoshop job, unless someone had fun at some station or another with sticky letters.
The real signs say “High-speed trains pass this platform” on the second line. Go look.
If mythbusters busted it, why is it I can stand in a BART station and easily get tossed about if I come to close to a train entering or exiting?! If you’re just a little girl like I am, a train can definitely blow you, lol.
I was in Slough last year visiting my brother. Morning after a hard night of pub crawling. Standing on a train platform, trying to clear my head, sipping coffee I got at a kiosk. Chuckling over that exact sign in the picture and over the “Stupid Little Biscuit” I got from the kiosk. One of those high-speed trains barrels through the station. DAAAAAMMMMNNNN!!!! That woke me up. I took one more step back from the red line. Myth Busters may have busted it, but I wasn’t taking any chances.
Well, you just give your first name. If you don’t, they will refer to you as “the new guy in the back seat who’s obviously going through withdraws and is a complete and total drunk beyond salvation.”
…damned. Broke my own anonymity.
Lord, I apologizes for making fun of AA, a very worthwhile organization that almost got me sober, and be with those starving pigmies in New Guinea.
Wait a minute. New Guinea? Where the hell is “Old Guinea?” Anybody from the southern half of the planet on line?
You must be new to this site. I’d like to give you some friendly pointers.
1) You’re not texting.
2) You’re not on ICHC.
3) Posting in a similar way to those may get you ignored.
Other than that, you have the whole insulting people thing down pat. Welcome to Failblog.
one thing I remember from school many many years ago… something about how suction is technically incorrect, it’s not the lack of pressure of a vacuum pulling the air through a passage, but rather the higher pressure of the surroundings pushes it…
so…
there is no suck, only blow
Hate to spoil the party, but the sign is a standard one formulated by British Rail many years ago. The bottom line reads “High speed trains pass this platform”.
I’m not debating wether the phenomonon exists, (Though there is turbulence when a 125 m/h train passes) but these signs actually read along the lines of:
Not shopped. That’s Preston station in the UK, I have seen that sign with my own eyes. The pictures been making the rounds in email between friends and the County Council for about 3 years now.
FAIL! it’s Penrith station (you can see some of the “Penrith” sign under the or part of (or win) in the pic, but you can indeed find the same signs on many stations on that line so you might well have seen one in Preston too. It always gave me a giggle as a young lad anyway, but it’s by no means a photoshop job. Not sure if they are still worded that way now or not but the pic could easily be fairly old.
Bless the glorious fuck who made this. It’s best when you notice the FAIL, and then as you start scrollign down for the next picture you see the [or win?]. I fucking died, used my soulstone, and got crit with the lulz again.
I used to know a bloke whose job it was to clean the mess left by the people who did stand to close to the edge. You need a strong stomach. This is a real sign.
first sucked off
riding the train and getting sucked of second is not as good as first
I hatez sloppieh sekonds
I DID IT 4 TEH LULZ!
Drive by BJs? ALRIGHT!!!!
in soviet russia, platform suck off YOU
*masturbates*
Interesting, but would u really want to get sucked off by say… a train?
Doesn’t actually say it will be the train.
True, but it doesn’t guarantee you will get sucked off. It only says “may” get sucked off. So firstly its not a guarantee, and secondly your not entirely sure what will suck you off. Suppose many would still take the chance.
Even the possibility of getting sucked off should be enough to try.
Do any of you guys know anything about trains? *sighs*
the air made by the train going past sucks you under
and you get crushed staright under the wheels of a 2-5 ton carriage so it means
instant death! SIGN WIN!
British pride fail
wait… Mebe if you pay it money you’ll definitely get sucked off *masturbates*
No it wont.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythBusters_(season_4)#Train_Suction
Comment FAIL
Google WIN
The FAIL is that the warning about the suction is too small too read without getting too close to the edge of the platform. dumbass.
Most train carriages are 20-40 tonnes…. know anything about trains?
Hey, you take what you can get.
Good Peter Kay joke there. Never realised it was actually on a sign, lol.
FOURTH!!!!!!!!!!
ONE BILLION!!!two!!!!
OVER 9000!!!!!!1111122111!
*steps to the front of the platform*
then u get hit on the back of ur head and fall off the platform.
Yeah, but at least he gets to enjoy his last moments… ALOT.
That’s funny dude!
*pushes you off the platform*
I bet there is a line.
the line must be drawn HEAH!!!!
Is that what “train” means?
I meant “Isn’t that what ‘train’ means?”
No negative fail.
I’ll take “Trains” for a thousand, Alex…
Is that what head of the line means?
Not head of the line, but line of the head
Not a fail, just a regular sign stating the obvious. Move along.
Let me get these out of the way…
“Bend 0ver, I’ll show you a sign”
“In Sov!et Russia, sign shows you!”
“I really like c0caine, got any cocaine?”
“Next commenter is gay”
“That’s what she said”
What about photoshopped??
Definitely not photoshopped. These are all over some of the stations on the London Tube. You’ll see them if you head in on the Piccadilly line from Heathrow Airport.
You fail.

so you could ultimately get sucked off on the tube if you dont read the signs?
No you won’t, not least because this is a British Rail sign, not the Underground. People only imagine that’s what they’re seeing. Actually read them properly sometime.
This is a total Photoshop job, unless someone had fun at some station or another with sticky letters.
The real signs say “High-speed trains pass this platform” on the second line. Go look.
In short, FAIL FAIL.
Comment. WIN. Period.
What about “First!!!1″
Win.
win
well said Boner glad to see I’m not the only one getting tired of the overused comments by the net nerds!
Metalocalypse win.
just like to say
MYTHBUSTERS BUSTED THAT MYTH
wooooooooo
oh snap thats right
I completely forgot about that episode!
But can one get sucked off by Kari Byron? That’s one myth I’d love to bust.
Kari Byron in a bikini graced my home page for over a year…
You know, she has nude pictures on teh internets?
they’re all fakes or pictures of alex sim-wise who looks just like her
You’d love to bust. I get it……
too bad she’s married
cause yeah, you’d have a chance.
If mythbusters busted it, why is it I can stand in a BART station and easily get tossed about if I come to close to a train entering or exiting?! If you’re just a little girl like I am, a train can definitely blow you, lol.
Not a fail, just a regular sign stating the obvious. Move along.
They could’ve worded it better, though.
Hence, funny.
In Soviet Russia, train sucks off you …
… oh wait … that’s what the sign says already …
inertia WIN
Arrrrrrr……… Kings Cross!
(you won’t get it if you are not a Londoner)
How cross is he?
You won’t get it unless you are not a londoner or have not read harry potter.
*giggles*lulz to you…..*giggles*
Kings Cross is a train station in north London, the area was known for its prostitute not Harry Potter.
What if Hairy Porter is a prostitute?
Yeah, tool, cus nobody ever travels…
Er… I’m not a Londoner and I get it. We have a similar place here in Sydney…
…except that this is Penrith – about as far from Kings Cross as you can get in England…
And what’s with the “Arrrrrr……”? You’re not from London at all, are you?! You’re Cornish!
Lol yeah… it’s also at both Victoria and Battersea stations. =)
Surprise fellatio seems to happen a lot there.
Not that anyone complains.
as opposed to the surprise buttsex, which rarely goes over very well
At least it’s not rape if you shout “Surprise!” first…
Yep and just dont push back, never push back! Your not g@y unless you push back!!! :S
Unless it’s a dude doing it…
first
No.

WHO THE HELL CARES?
BITTER little person. You may kiss my firm buttocks.
THIS, good sir, made me lol.
made me laugh too…
retort WIN
I nominate this for the “Burn of the Week”.
You had me at “hard night of pub crawling.” I’ve never heard anyone say that, but instantly knew what you were talking about.
Alcoholism…the universal language.
I’m NOT an alcoholic…they have to go to meetings
Why is it that first thing you do at AA is stand up and tell everyone your name!? Not very annoymous now is it?!
Well, you just give your first name. If you don’t, they will refer to you as “the new guy in the back seat who’s obviously going through withdraws and is a complete and total drunk beyond salvation.”

Lord, I apologizes for making fun of AA, a very worthwhile organization that almost got me sober, and be with those starving pigmies in New Guinea.
Wait a minute. New Guinea? Where the hell is “Old Guinea?” Anybody from the southern half of the planet on line?
West Coast of Africa. Not in the southern hemisphere.
(papua) new guinea is just north of australia
GEOGRAPHY FAIL
that sounds like a the best train station in the world!
I wonder who it is though…..
This failure made me hard.
I hate you.
TMI, man, WAAYY TMI.
LOL
Hopefully that erection doesn’t last longer than four hours.
there is an easy way to solve this dilema *masturbates*
ROFL! Missing a “laugh” fail… or win?
first, next is gay!
I’m not gay!!!!!

Finally, somebody said it! Thank U!
Triple FAil, Mythbusters already probes that theres no such thing as “train succion”
Hey, I’m Jules!
I never saw the Mythbusters episode, but “train suction” makes sense to me. Racecar drivers call it drafting, don’t they?
Your name kind of gave that away JULES!
one thing I remember from school many many years ago… something about how suction is technically incorrect, it’s not the lack of pressure of a vacuum pulling the air through a passage, but rather the higher pressure of the surroundings pushes it…
so…
there is no suck, only blow

Photoshop fail.
Are you the same Chris as in cbrd?
@ jules: No one ever accused municipalities of intelligence, qv petrol pumps with “No Cell Phone” stickers on them.
LOL, OK so what does she look like? is she a young hot chick or an old bag? LMAO!

FAIL for ending a sentence with a preposition.
fail for not recognizing a proposition
WIN.
actually, the sign is true. if you stand in front of the yellow line the low pressure zone in front of the train will suck you in!
The low-pressure zone is at THE END OF THE TRAIN. Physics FAIL.
Is that picture, by any chance, taken by someone at the train station at Oxenholme, Kendal?
Nah. Penrith, western suburb of Sydney, Australia.
no way I’d want a sucking from anything there.
Definitely a fail. Mythbusters already disproved it.
Mythbusters fail-ified this one.
This is a photoshop.
I’m not debating wether the phenomonon exists, (Though there is turbulence when a 125 m/h train passes) but these signs actually read along the lines of:
Keep back from the platform edge.
Passing high speed trains cause turbluence.
lol, the sing is facing towards the edge of the platform!
oops, sign.
Not shopped. That’s Preston station in the UK, I have seen that sign with my own eyes. The pictures been making the rounds in email between friends and the County Council for about 3 years now.
FAIL! it’s Penrith station (you can see some of the “Penrith” sign under the or part of (or win) in the pic, but you can indeed find the same signs on many stations on that line so you might well have seen one in Preston too. It always gave me a giggle as a young lad anyway, but it’s by no means a photoshop job. Not sure if they are still worded that way now or not but the pic could easily be fairly old.
Is not true! I live there (Preston, not Preston station)
It looks nothing like this. Is clearly Penrith.
And, photoshop or not, is a funny concept.
Bless the glorious fuck who made this. It’s best when you notice the FAIL, and then as you start scrollign down for the next picture you see the [or win?]. I fucking died, used my soulstone, and got crit with the lulz again.
I wish they had that in New York. Or maybe they do, in Brooklyn…
Why are all those men standing at the edge of the platform?
You fools, you all fail.
And especially whoever edited this pic and added “Or Win” on the bottom.
It’s not London
The whole point of this images is that it is at Penrith station in Sydney Australia, renown for crack whores and addicts.
Fail
Haha thats Penrith station in cumbria
Im sure my mate has a picture of that (this could be it)

Photoshop fail.
British Failways Strike again!
I used to know a bloke whose job it was to clean the mess left by the people who did stand to close to the edge. You need a strong stomach. This is a real sign.
WIN! WIN! WIN!
Dude i swear i saw someone got suxed of the perron and died
one of those very fast moving trains, i guess.
FOR FUCK’S SAKE. I’LL SHOW YOUR MOM “TRAIN SUCCION”
