    The building to the right of the sign looks like it may be a multi-unit dwelling, so it may not be clear who the culprit is. Also, many people don’t know their neighbors very well, or may have anxiety or some type of fear of social situations. In this case, they may be concerned that it may turn into a confrontation, especially if they let this go on for a month (as others have said, three minutes is my max tolerance for this). And the sign is funny and not particularly aggressive, although it may not be effective on the type of person who 1. throws their smoke detector outside instead of replacing the battery, and 2. allows it to continue beeping for a month. Maybe the OOP felt a little public shaming is in order.







  • I’m just saying, I hate reusable straws now as an adult because I have to clean them with a brush, but it’s doable because they’re wide enough. It’s probably really annoying to get even a tiny brush through the windy, thin diameter straws. My parents probably ran hot water through it and called it a day.

    One of my first jobs, I wanted to take off for my birthday (I was young and cared about birthdays then). I did it well in advance and followed proper procedure, but my manager told me last minute that I couldn’t have it off because he was going on vacation. I told him that I wasn’t coming in and he said that if I didn’t that I would be out of a job. So I didn’t go in, and guess who ended up having to cover for my shift anyway? 🙃

    The district manager called me personally the next week to hire me back because my numbers were quite good, and they put me in a different location.
