I get the impression that nobody is enforcing this one. I also invite others to make fun of the random capitalization, but I am too often guilty of same. Thanks, Andrea, who spotted this in Glasgow, Scotland.
This reminds me of a sign on a door in the building where I work. It says Keep this door locked or closed. I've worked there for three years now and I have seen that door closed precisely one - 1 - time. Why do they bother.
I guess that means open is fine...as long as it's LOCKED!
On another note, I've always been amused by notices such as "Keep this door closed at all times." If it's so important, they should just weld it shut permanently.
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 assume that "is" should be an "in."
yeah, thanks, I fixed it.
I also like how one quotation mark is underlined but the other is not.

And what's with the scattered capitalizations? Is "Clear" a person?
What? No capitalization of Doorway? Unacceptable!
They didn't bother to strike the ctr+u command prior to the final indiscretion.
