Michael notes that this was spotted at "the famous, customer unfriendly Lorenzo's Pizza on South Street in Philadelphia." I don't know what people really take when they ask for a "cup of ice" but Lorenzo is on to them.
I absolutely love that place for the signs all over the walls. They go out of their way to let you know that you cannot change anything and that nothing is free. The lack of tolerance is incredibly endearing.
He must do his inventory of how many drinks he's sold by counting his cups. That's what they used to do at 7-Eleven, and why you couldn't get take a Big Gulp cup and fill it with ice and tap water.
Either that, or hey, quit using all the ice and not buying anything! I'm kind of with the proprietor on this one.
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 what, exactly, does pleasele mean? Bottom of photo...
@SpitFire: I think that says "pleaseee," for an extension of "please." Of course, you really shouldn't stretch a silent letter.
WV: poterms -- These are some po' terms indeed.

Actually, Lorenzo may be right in that people ASK for a "cup of ice" or a "cup of water" and REALLY take a soda.
I don't think these quotes are unecessary.
People ask for a "cup of ice" (or even better, "water") all the time, and then fill up with whatever they want from the fountain.
Friends and I used to do it all the time at Subway.
Yup. What conuly and Jeannie said. David, I hope you got over your dickishness.
Amazing pictures...
thanks for sharing...
