Perhaps they meant to write "to be instructive" but knew that they were using the wrong words, and perhaps that's why they were using the 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.

I am amused by the "we would like to personally communicate that" bit.
Yeah, because posting a sign is TOTALLY personal communication! I should've thought of that tactic during my marriage counseling before divorce. XD
The sign's stated purpose is "to personally communicate" this message, but forcing people to get information by reading a sign is not very personal.
Not only does it have unnecessary quotation marks, it also has a lot of unnecessary words. I guess it's not fancy enough to state the message simply.
The creepiest thing about that sign was the fact that, when I first glanced at it, the picture on it looked like a drawing of a man's junk
