It Just Came Up

Our good friend Jeff sent in a picture of a helpful sign on an ATM machine. Two things:

1) Who needs instructions on how to use an ATM in 2008? If you can't figure it out, you probably shouldn't be operating this sophisticated equipment.

2) I love that the person who attempted to fix this sign missed the glaring error in the first sentence.

Not In My House

Pro photographer Burrill Strong was kind enough to send in this decidedly un-pro call-and-response sign, snapped at a recent basketball game:


It hurts!

No Treaspassing

I only have one question: if the sign is spelled incorrectly, do you have to heed its warning?

I said no!
Thanks to Matt and John for this one!

This Stairway Is Close

So close, in fact, that you could step right up onto it. And keep going. After all, there's nothing to stop you. If only all stairways were this conveniently close.

Do you think this sign will be more effective if I use lower case and caps? Fuck it. I'm gonna do it!
Thanks to Derek and Kyle for sending this one in!

Round 'Em Up!

Vulture friend Matt sent us this ad from Goldenvoice. He was baffled that they felt The Judds needed an apostrophe. We can only agree.

Foreign Vultures

As previously established, blunders captured in a land where English is not the primary language are generally exempt from our ruthless ridicule... but this duo, captured during a recent trip to Mexico, is too good to resist.

Scalators? Sounds like something out of the Transformers franchise.

Due Prosses

There are a few problems with this notice, spotted at a beloved neighborhood café in Venice, CA:

First, small business owner, you'll want to review your merchant agreement with Visa/MasterCard a little closer. It's always a violation of their terms to require a minimum purchase amount or, in most cases, to require customer identification merely to complete the transaction. 

Oh, and "processing" requires a "c" in order to make sense.

Where The Weed Ends

Why not start the year off with a food-related post? This gem was spotted in the window of a Burbank hot dog joint:

When, exactly?

You're probably thinking by now, dear reader, that the Vultures spend altogether too much time at the urinal. Who knew there were so many examples of photo-worthy bathroom signage? This gem, spotted during jury duty at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, caused me to laugh out loud:


Just the one flush? Per day? Per trial? Unfortunate, in any case!
