Rebecca writes, "his sign was in the waiting room area of the hospital where my sister had her baby. Maybe it means the snacks are actually for the dads?"
this one kinda makes sense. If it's in an ante-natal ward, they're implying that it's only for women who have or are about to give birth at the hospital. Without the quotation marks, it reads that the snacks are specifically for the mothers of the staff. That being said, there probably are been better ways to "phrase" that.
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.
