supergeeking out
join me as i delight in judgmentally proofreading the world, one sign at a time, like a big nerdy jerk. apologies and props to found magazine, which is an awesome publication. but i was doing this before i found found.
FIG. 1 ok, let me explain what you are looking at. that white spot in the middle is my fault. the photo got stuck to something (because i'm an awesome housekeeper.)

i have an easily riled sign-writing neighbor. this is her most famous and best sign ever. it  reads:

TO WHOM EVER IS DUMPING YOUR BAG OF GARBAGE HERE SHOULD BE A SHAME.
YOU ARE BREEDING ROACHES FOR THE OTHER TENANTS. THE SIGHT OF THIS PLACE IS ALREADY A CRYING SHAME.
"STOP IT ALREADY"

as for that elf sitting near the sign? this was taken when i had a Christmas party a few years ago. the stairwell of my building explodes with cheer each december. the neighbors don't leave one inch untouched by dollar-store tinsel, holly, ornaments, etc. to the extent that HAPPY HOLIDAYS is written out in foot-high letters of different colored garland. we plucked (liberated) the elf from the wall for this photo op.

FIG. 2 below is the next entry from the usual suspect. i am "a shame" to admit that several signs have passed by in the interim that i did not document. but i won't be so lax any more!
note that it is written on the reverse of a flyer for His Image Beauty Salon--where they can apparantly give you a weave just like God's!
i like how they always end in a catch phrase:
SHAPE UP OR SHIP OUT!

FIG. 3 and here we have the most recent contender. this one was presented poster-size. the sign and its giant pad of paper was later spied among the refuse on the sidewalk in front of my house. good thing i got this picture in time!
it reads: THIS FILTH MUST LOOK GOOD TO YOU TENNANTS WHO INSIST ON USING THIS AREA AS THEIR DUMPING GROUND. HAVE YOU NO SHAME?
