Marina found this flyer on her car’s windshield in Venice Beach, California. With a sales pitch as compelling as this one, it’s really only a matter of time before this AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!! pops up alongside TV offers like Cash4gold and the (ever-popular) Pedegg.

expect to see this ad airing in prime time any day now

Adds Marina: “I haven’t tried calling the number…yet.” WHAT IS SHE WAITING FOR?!?!

Our anonymous submitter in Seattle, an artist, used to pass the downtime at his day job by doodling on boxes. “They know it was me,” our submitter says, but instead of, you know, confronting him, management decided — in true passive-aggressive style — to hang this critique up for all to see.

About the art-work we're finding around here — It's hard for us to believe that it's not cutting into work production time. Though it is nice artwork, let's focus on having a nice store :)

Writes our anonymous submitter: “This girl invited every single one of her friends on Facebook into a ‘forum’ to plan for her birthday celebrations…six months in advance.”

THIS IS NOT A PARTY, ONLY A REMINDER TO NOT FORGET....AGAIN. ATTENTION: Aside from a few of my friends, most people seem to have forgotten my birthday last year. That kind of pissed me off, it was like 16 candles without the sitting on the table with a hot guy at the end. So since my birthday is less than 6 months away I wanted to give you a forum in which to plan for my birthday. Thank you.

The kicker? within a few hours, our submitter says, almost everyone had already RSVP’d.
