I've got to say, the best one about this one is the increasing number of punctuation marks at the end of the sign, indicating resignation and disgust. I mean, hello, it does "not" work. Thanks, Kelley.
this one makes me wonder if the person who wrote the sign is so unused to physically writing with a pen, that they used a kind of strange amalgam of pseudo-html and grocery-store punctuation - thus the inverted commas around 'when' are indicating *emphasis*, as asterisks might when typing in plain text. which still doesn't answer the question of why 'when' should be emphasised.
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.

it "dose" not work. What does that mean?
Sometimes it dose work, sometimes it's an overdose of work.
This is obviously a message in secret code. Unfortunately I don't have the key.
Why quotes *and* caps for "when"? That's an odd word to emphasize.
qualifies as a double submission to both the "blog" and passive aggressive notes!
Yes it's certainly passive aggressive
Since when do stalls work? The stall merely serves to house the toilet, which... oh, never mind.
