This is from the Post Office at Eric's college. I believe this means: press bell for a half-asleep sophomore who may or may not have showered in the last 24 hours to respond to your request sarcastically.
My thought was along the same lines as brynne's... sounds like the kind of "service" that should come after "escort" in the classified ads!
The bored sophomore might prefer it that way, too, depending on the customer!
Mostly I'm commenting because my name is also Bethany, and that's just weird, because how many parents in the world choose to give their child a name that means house of poverty? (Okay, mine were foretelling the future: I grew up to be a writer.)
But my own punctuation pet peeve is random use of apostrophes. Or apostrophe's.
I experienced "service" yesterday when my boyfriend and I went out for breakfast. The waitress threw down our plates and then took off for the rest of the meal.
This one sets your imagination free... "service"... hmmm Nice blog! I may use it in class to explain to my students how to use or when not to use quotation marks...
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

Hi,
I took a photo of some unnecessary "quotation" marks over the "weekend". Is there a mail address I can send it to so you guys can add it?
Let me know at 'sausages' at 'the url of my website'.
Great idea for a blog! How about a sister one - unnecessary exclamation marks!?!?! :-)
umm and what kind of "service" might that bring one? hmmmmmm?
