So how funny is this sign? It definitely has a little bit of a ransom-note feel to it, with the mixing of all the various sized letters and spacing. Maybe it’s just me… but I think I’d rather have the occasional recyclable(s) in my driveway than having to look at the words on this sign every day. NO DUMPING. I mean, isn’t this information already implied by the rules of being a good human being and refraining from putting junk in your neighbors driveway??? They should have at least implied some sort of fine or penalty for breaking these rules, like “Our dog will bite your leg if you dump boxes here.”
The people who leave trash in random places are the kind of people who don’t obey signs anyways. These same people who have been leaving mattresses in our alleyway — 3 including a set of bed springs in the last two weeks — and I’m pretty sure that a “no mattresses” sign wouldn’t have changed anything, besides clogging the visual landscape with another sign.
Now if you’ll excuse me while I go listen to some Tesla.
