Haven’t yet decided if actual cop would be worse. Either way, Timmy better be fast.
Enjoy your “safe” holidays om rodos
What the hell is om rodos
“new” underwear is outright disturbing and creepy.
“Women”, wrote the trans-sceptic.
“women”, “men”, wrote the gender abolishionist
Disclaimer: Some lobsters were prerecorded for your time zone.
Honestly “Restroom” makes sense with quotation marks because it seems like a misleading polite euphemism to begin with. You aren’t going to the excretion room to rest.
just because you don’t spend an hour on the toilet scrolling through memes doesn’t mean no one does
But it’s where you do the rest, AKA the things you shouldn’t do in the other rooms
Existential dread?
This thrift store I used to frequent in college had a sign on the vending machine that said
USE AT YOUR OWN “RISK”
Cracked me up every time
What if they had a goose naned “dog” and just wanted to remember you to be a were of “dog”
I want to know what these people think quotation marks mean. They don’t even make sense if misused for emphasis in most of these.
Everyone knows “bees” are just batteries for “birds”. And the “area” is a recharging station.
When Morpheus is the one who taught you about the birds and the bees.
Pretty sure bottom right is just saying they don’t mind if you go piss in the alley around back
Quote marks used to be used for “emphasis”, and some older people still use them that way. I had an aunt who would use quotes like this on signs at her fruit stand.
I’ve heard this before but I’m not entirely sure. Is it possible some old people just didn’t learn to write properly? Like when they used to write emails in all caps?
One of the first results I found was this Jeep advertising sign from the 60s
Is that true? Or just “true”? I couldn’t find a credible source for that with a very short search.
I know people who use “air quotes” to put “emphasis” on words if they are “trying” to make a “point”
But I don’t know if that comes from people using quotes originally to do the same thing.
Neon sign, budget ver.
if someone tried selling me a “fruit salad” i’d be scared
Why would one need to emphasize “fruit salad”? fruit salad is insane.
look at this guy not wanting their “salad tossed”, well more for me!
What “the” heck
Here is my “comment”
