I used to stand at this bus stop (Magoun Square, Somerville, MA) every day, thinking "Someday I need to start a blog with photos of all of these signs with unnecessary quotes"-- then they tore the sign down a few months ago and I forgot about it. So glad someone thought to snap a photo of this back then and send it to you! This sign just drips contempt.
Someone who's so emphatic about the "please" should be a bit more sincere with the "thank you."
@Daniel A. Brockman - I know what you mean. I love this blog because, aside from being hilarious, it reassures me that others, too, mentally edit poorly punctuated signs and publications.
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.

Yeah, bethany it's "hey, low-lifes" and the "thank you" looks like an after thought.
