ouch indeed


Alex saw this one in Connecticut.  I suggest you call the number on the right.

"Out of Date"


Peter saw this one at work.  Things that could be included in the definition of "out of date": smelly, weird-looking, or something the cleaner would like to eat.

not listening

Sara saw this at a UNC dining hall.  Clearly, not really listening.  Or reading.

more fake tips

This is the second confusing "tips" sign today.  Submitter Sara suggests that it is so empty because nobody knows what it's really for.  Maybe they mean they don't care so much for your advice...

Use "caution"

Evidently you can actually fake caution, or just fling the door open any time you want.  Thanks, Norm.

"tip's"

I would actually say that the quotation marks here are grammatically ambiguous (since the tip is not really optional) and the other grammar errors are funnier with their frequency - you have tense problems, a wayward apostrophe, and a comma wouldn't kill them.  Thanks, Susan.

free martinis for kids?

Ok, I know, these quotation marks are meaningful, as you have to buy an entree so the kids aren't REALLY eating free.  But I had to post this one anyway because I thought it was so funy that RIGHT under that they're advertising their drink specials.  I mean, if there's gonna be lots of kids in the joint, you might need a martini.  Thanks, Scott.

another mob front

Raeanne and her boyfriend found this on vacation in Amsterdam.  I guess you can get a haircut and also pot?

0-ish


Tony spotted this at his University.  Evidently the tolerance is non-zero.

not "our" best

So, clearly a bad buy, but it is their best.  Thanks, Bruce.

Sorry no posts yesterday, I was busy with helping a friend move.
