This from Kate's work. She notes that the same sign is re-written and posted in 4 places in the room. Evidently a number of things are included under the banner of "boxes" and they aren't asking.
I love this blog - I'm a borderline grammar nazi myself, and unnecessary quotes drive me crazy. It's like people use them for emphasis, rather than, oh, underlining things?
Anyway, I get a good laugh out of this blog - keep up the good work!
I submitted this one a little while back - thanks so much for posting this! It cracked me up, and still does. Thanks so much for making me laugh every day - this blog is great!
Oh come now, they were practising their calligraphy! Quotation marks look so awesome done in calligraphy ... you can't expect a sane person not to use them when they've been asked to do a sign. lol.
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 appreciate the fake politeness...gotta love it! I wonder what they are insinuating?
