The underlining on this sign also confuses me. Do people try putting other things in the card reader besides debit and credit cards? And what are people REALLY using? Thanks, Steve.
And, uh, what are people trying to do besides insert and remove their cards? I'm having trouble thinking of anything else you can do with a debit card and a slot.
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's one of those slots that if you just stick it in and leave it it does nothing, you have to stick it in and pull it back out so it swipes it.
The emphasis on "only" suggests that some users insert and/or remove more than the card.
But, wait a minute, if 'debit card' is in quotes, doesn't that imply you CAN use something else?
Also, if you inserted something else, does it mean that you can't remove it (given the use of 'and')?
Maybe they were concerned about this song:
