The maths is terrible, but it's rather tautologious, too.

Is it poor maths, or was it put up in 2023 and no-one's been arsed to take it down?

"[T]autologious" 🤨. Not to be mean, but this is Pedants' Corner.

No it's relatively recent. 😲

I get the disposable bins, but what's up with the co op one ?

Laiste · 20/12/2025 18:48

When on holiday in Turkey there was a big sign in our bathroom which said Please Put Sanity Pads In The Bin.
🤪

Every day is two words.

We have awful ones at work. The one that gets me every time is

‘Please close the door. After you have used the facility.’

or

’Ladies please.
Dispose of your sanitary products in the bin provided.’

i cant decide whether the Ladies please is trying to be extra stern or suggest that the ladies please people

Ooh yes, also along those lines:

On the back of armored money vans you sometimes see

Is it an order or information? Confused

My local Sainsbury's used to have a postbox 'for our customer's convenience'.

Don't know how they kept going with only one customer.

Perhaps, after 45 years, they stopped caring about people's eyes.

The apostrophe in this makes my teeth itch!

Sensitive content
This sign, though.
Littlefish · 20/12/2025 19:47

No idea why it’s showing as a sensitive image! Perhaps because it’s so awful!

I offer you this….
