Defiantly No Smoking

Spellchecker? Freudian slip? Ignorance? It would be heartening to see some defiant non smoking on these stairs. There is a curious mix of politeness and menace here. From Vic Demised, location unknown.

    A friend was recently sent a letter from Australia Post addressed to his house in “White Cum Valley”. Unfortunately the letter had already been thrown out when he told me. I don’t understand. If I received a letter like that, I’d probably frame it and hang it in the lounge room.

                Careful with those stereotypical assumptions.
                Nanna naps are for those with little with which to occupy themselves, NF#2.
                Lions Clubs, or any other like association, I leave for those who need some kind of external motivation.
                Becoming aged does not necessarily equate to mental stagnation in all cases, nor to a lack of self stimulation. (Interpret that as you will.)
                And remember, you will get there yourself in due course. With any kind of good fortune. ;)

    When you misspell ‘definately’, you need your head crushed.

    Did they print the sign on an A4 piece of paper, laminate it, and then fix it to the wall with four masonry anchors? Have they never heard of blu-tak?

    Defiantly is what auto-correct does to “definatly”. Just like a clubber in the 90’s, don’t forget your E’s.

      And they use amateurish clipart graphics from a similar era and to complete the Amateur Hour Show, it is written in fucking Arial. Aaaargh! I might be a Mac twat with 72 weights of Helvetica preloaded out of the box, but geez! Poor use of spellcheck not picked upon during a proofread, the quasi-authoritative tone inflected by dating this poster and the passive-aggressive fastening with Tek screws, additional to the other attributes listed in prior posts, are the manifold signs of a potential storekeeper mentality, which would be right at home in any Wiberwal Party membership base.
