1) I love that they thought to ask people not to write on the notice which is in a little plastic folder also. 2) it's apparently their slogan. Thanks, Matt.
I really think it's the Traveling Wilburys of unnecessary punctuation: unnecessary quotes, grocers' quotes, a highly extraneous comma, and several unnecessary exclamation marks. I'm not even sure if you could fit in more unnecessary punctuation if you tried.
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.

Not only are there unecessary quotation marks, the apostrophes and comma are appalling too! Wow.
The underscore is also cringe-worthy. I guess bold italics just aren't enough for some people.
I guess Maria Magaña didn't believe it when they first told her.
Beat me to it Kyle, perhaps they were addressing Maria too with the bottom comment, she has a vindictive streak and is prone to graffiti.
