This was one of my favorite of our dollar stores in the area, and it seems to have gone out of business (alas). On the other hand, I will no longer have to physically restrain myself from yelling at the owner.
Genuine realistic!

This Hannah Montana pocket fan lights up with “realistic lights.” I’m not entirely sure what this means. It raises existential questions about the nature of light, and what light resembles. I mean, it isn’t like this is a toy cop car, on which “realistic lights” might make sense. What exactly would the lights on a pocket fan resemble? And WHY IS IT IN QUOTES?

I’ll let Kacia describe this one:
This mailing just has so much to offer: sentence fragments, the use of “Literally!” as a stand-alone sentence, and my favorite bit, the “Were in the same building” statement. Well…if you WERE in the same building, where are you now?! Apostrophes are so over-used in general, maybe there was a shortage when they were typesetting this postcard. 😉

First of all, Facebook informs me that I can’t have five names.
And now this, courtesy of Kacia.
And while we’re at it… I mean, I know I’m not fluent in most forms of code, but would it be that hard to use the registered gender of each member in context with pronouns? You know, so it doesn’t say “Kacia just changed their picture” and I don’t have to cry?
Makes me smile.

I have pixelated this one because I love this place. I also love this sign. It makes me smile. In a philosophical sense, messing up a bathroom is sort of “littler”-ing it — you do make it cosmically less by leaving a mess. And honestly, who doesn’t want to work somewhere where the servers are happy?
Hard to criticize this one!

Meg sent me this one. I don’t think it’s an error, exactly, Meg; more of a pun. However, it is still sick and wrong.
In a pretty funny way.
Poop is always funny.

Not tremendously exciting, but still an intriguing use of random capitals, a debatable hyphen, and one gleefully extraneous comma!

So, the Best Western in Roswell, GA, features this carpet in not one but at least THREE locations in its lobby and entranceways:
What I find especially interesting is that the hotel also has plenty of these, often only inches away:
I wonder if they just didn’t notice that half of them are spelled wrong? Or they just don’t care?

I guess the programmers there need to sit down in their thinking chairs and think, think, think. ‘Cause when we use our minds and take a step at a time, we can do anything — even master subject-verb agreement!

I like this one because “nohrt” reminds me of “snort,” which is a funny word. Thanks, Shannon!
