We share photos of English language that either does not mean what the writer thought it means, or it does not mean anything at all, and then we use these examples to teach correct English.

One step ahead
The phrase "one step ahead" does not make sense when it is out of context. After all, what exactly is one step ahead? Danger?
Because this sign was above a bathroom urinal, we could figure out the meaning. Someone, probably a janitor, wants men to stand one step closer to the urinal so as to reduce messiness.
A better way of stating this, however, would be, "take one step forward."
