Andrew saw this one at Orange Beach AL. I like that it's so encouraging, even if it's unclear what you are actually supposed to be doing.

I'd like some "assistance"
I don't know what kind of "assistance" the management expects to deliver "at the front." Sounds like quite the bachelorette party for a dollar store. Thanks, thinking clergyman.
look out for "them"
Who's making decisions for you now? "They" are. Creepy. It's also possible that somebody is really hesitant to use the generic plural - a grammar option which I fully endorse.
Thanks, Bison Fish.

relatively good
What I like about these pictures that Danial P. took at her neighborhood garage sale is that the second one explains what counts as "good stuff" and one of the items is stuff. That's right guys. There will be STUFF at the garage sale..
so, how... nevermind.
Jimmy saw this one in a hospital shower. I don't know what you might use to push the drain stopper, maybe your whole foot or something.

there's no REAL risk, we're just saying it
My sister Meredith saw this one at the Haworth factory store in Holland, MI. "Remove at your own risk": worst slogan ever?

relevant paris hilton joke
Thanks to Winona who pointed me to this post on gofugyourself. I really think that blogger has the snarking under control on this one, so I'll just direct you there.
any toilet-like thing
Jesse saw this at the Westin Peachtree Hotel in Atlanta GA. I have no idea what "to be instinctive" means, but I don't think it's civilized.

also contains drugs
This is clearly where all the contraband is kept in the Janitor's closet at Sam's work. Subtle, Janitor.
or whoever
Apparently they are really accepting lapsed members who are hoping to be forgiven for their previous membership sins. Thanks, Dean.

"Pre-pay," if you know what I mean.
I'm not sure what "Drive-off" is a euphemism for, but I don't think it's very nice. Thanks, Heather.
what standards?
Thomas saw this in Peebles Scotland. Does putting "standards" in quotation marks raise or lower expectations?

"classy"
Connie spotted this in Burlington, VT. I have no idea what this is about or if "respect" is the slogan for all the rest, or why of all the fonts in the world, they chose this one.
what's the salon's real name?
I wonder if those clip-art weird people are "Helen". Or maybe it's the salon's nickname. Thanks, Anne in Madison.

only try on if you're in 1918
Lindsey spotted this at a diner on the West Coast. I must say, the weirdest things about this have nothing to do with the double-slogans with quotation marks (and apparent feminism of visors? what?). The weirdest things are: 1) clip art lady golfer 2) lace visors?
Conclusion: try it on, but only as a joke.
Robert's real name: Confucious.
Ok, unless "Robert E" got that nickname from battling Yankee realtors, I think he needs a cooler one. Like "the Yellow Dart". Thanks, Jason.
really just a little casual
click to enlarge and see slogan, which reads: a "very" casual eatery. You may or may not still need a shirt and shoes. Thanks, Adrien.

N
It's like the variable in algebra. That kinda works with the tax service don't you think?
It's actually a liquor store.
And that also kinda works with the tax service.

that's "special"
so, the ribs and chicken rode the short bus. I have no idea what real "cornbread" might be. Is it real something else? Thanks, Amy.

"espresso bar"
Are double quotation marks like a double negative? Who knows what kind of bar they have or how full it is.
and june and july
I find it fairly easy to believe the associate of the month doesn't get replaced every month, and Brian may wind up being the associate of most of the spring and summer. Thanks, David.
paris hilton says the wax is hot
Thony and his wife saw this in London. I dare not guess what they actually specialize in. Perhaps the wax is only lukewarm.

hey "cash", pay attention
Joe and Melanie saw this in Lakeland FL. Perhaps all horses purchased will be named "cash".
"stop" completely
These are all over Fishers, Indiana. I have no idea what a complete "stop" entails. Thanks, Jen.
more assumed names
Also appropriate for cake wrecks, as "Ann" may or may not be the name of that paramecium shape there. Extra irony: Ann is the chief of the copy desk in Carl's newsroom.
