The tourist industry is often conspicuous for saving money on translations. Here for your amusement, I hope, are some curiously translated signs and notices written in 'English', as seen in hotels all over the world.

In a Bucharest hotel lobby:
The lift is being fixed for the next day. During that time we regret that you will be unbearable.
