Mary spotted this one at a salvage/discount store. She might try some of these newfangled "jeans" but I don't know...

Can this sign be any uglier? Those prices are all squished into orange oblong shapes. It reminds me of cartoons done by little kids where they draw the speech bubble first, then cram the words in later.
Whoever made this person suffers from a fear of insignificance: notice how they try to draw attention to absolutely every element on the poster: < womens : > for example. It actually works against them in that we end up looking at all the punctuation and underlining instead of the actual words. :)
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.

I also hate people whose 9's look like G's (realizing as I type this that a computer's 9 does, in fact, curve like a lower case G...)

the pants, not the people.
and i like ur observation, sitboaf. very astute.
Maybe they mean an approximation of jeans. Not quite jeans, but -- you know -- "jeans".
