Actually, Spanish-speakers don't have to either... "Deben" (from the verb "deber" means "should," not "have to." Ironic...maybe someone tried to translate into English who didn't know how to say Should, so they settled for "must," figuring that the quotes make up for the difference.
malvond- Correct. Volver means to return. Volter does not exist.
joshli88 is partially correct. Deber does mean should but it also means must. Deben means they must. Deberían (the verb in the conditional) means they should.
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.

And there's even a typo in the Spanish one.. It should say "volver" instead of "volter". "Volter" isn't a word!

I think if I saw that sign I would have to leave the place right away. Eww doesn't even begin to describe my "feeling."
