Writes our submitter in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia: “A local candidate for county commissioner claimed that he was going to run the county like he runs his businesses.” (You know: straight talk, no bullshit, that kind of thing.)
So, if you were a Jefferson County voter, what would be your take on the guy based on this sign, from the dumpster area at one of his rental properties? Destined for law-making, right?

Frankly, I’m impressed that he didn’t use “Monday’s” or “you’re landlord.”

Do you what those could be for?! Pee buckets for those WOW players in California who peed on the mother’s fence!!!
Someone needs to start sharing…

If that were my landlord, I’d make sure that my trash included a large amount of condom wrappers/condoms…it is the FUCKING trash, after all…

Wait, so if that’s how he runs his business, is his county going to look trashy too?

Wouldn’t this sign work better for its intended purpose without the salutation and valediction? This guy’s ego is clearly too large for West Virginia politics.

Wow. Just… wow. I like how there’s already one, smaller sign saying pretty much the same thing not two feet away from it.

Obviously they couldn’t get the message from the first, smaller and more polite sign posted on the left. Using profanity as punctuation FUCKING works!

They should be made to put it out more often.
Fucking trash breeds more trash.
In fact, HE should be made to put the fucking trash out of his apartments. The neighborhood has gone way down since he started renting to “those types”!

I think the bigger problem is that they can’t seem to make it all the way to the dumpster, no matter what day it happens to be!

Tourists:
So this is the famous Mason-Dixon line?
Tour Guide:
Yep. As you can see, the Southerners are still a little bitter about the outcome of the “War Between The States”.
They toss their trash in a general Northward direction each day.
Not too good at reading compasses, but we’re a-gonna restrict that activity to Mondays only from here on out.

If Mr. Landlord has money to buy those personalized signs, why doesn’t he have enough money to hire a grounds keeper?

This was an actual conversation between my BFF and her little brother, who lives in Harper’s Ferry, WV.
(*Note: neither of them had ever seen Google Earth before I pulled it up on my computer one day to punch in his address so she could see his house)
Sadie: OMG, you live near some creepy looking woods! And what’s that lot with all those cars next to your house??
Shane: Oh, that’s the junkyard.
Sadie: You live next door to a junkyard?! Well, I guess you don’t have to go far to get parts for your car then, huh?
Shane: Oh no! I wouldn’t go to that junkyard! I go to the good junkyard across town..
Sadie: You have a good and a bad junkyard?
Shane: Yep.

I’m very familiar with West Virginia and I’m here to tell you that Harpers Ferry is not representative of the rest of the state. The entire eastern panhandle is essentially a bedroom community to the movers and shakers who work in Washington DC. The cost of living is much higher than anywhere else in the state and you will notice a huge contrast in culture.
That sign is very East Coast. You’d expect that sort of thing in New York, Boston or DC but try pulling that shit in Charleston or Summersville and you’re going to receive a visit from the local po-po.
Moreover, most landlords in the rest of West Virginia wouldn’t be too upset over finding garbage strewn about their property. In some places, like Grafton for example, they’d think you were weird if you didn’t dispose of household waste by simply chucking it out the nearest winder.

I’d take it down and stick it in the trash. Drives me crazy when people post signs with that kind of language, it’s just so tacky. I know, it’s a total mom thing to do but hey, if his mom had raised him right I wouldn’t have to do it for her

Now here’s a little story ’bout a guy named Dean
A Harper’s Ferry landlord who couldn’t keep his rentals clean
He posted up a sign that was sort of rude
but he was sick of walking in half-eaten rotten food
trash that is….refuse ,ya see
Next thing you know old Dean’s a PAN-brity
and his plight is the subject of another parody
if only his sign hadn’t used the word fuck
we wouldn’t be laughing at his run of bad luck

To my renters:
throw your fucking trash in a fucking pile near broken fence. I fucking promised to fix it but then you will be fucking confused about where to litter, given that you already are fucking confused about day of littering!

Oh… and of course how many $2 bills he’s handing out. Unless of course he’s spendin em on fucking trash!

If it’s Tuesday when I catch my wife in the bedroom with her boyfriend, I have to wait until the following Monday to throw them out?
How is that fair?

I would put my trash out on Monday, right after the garbage truck pulled away. There’s rarely (never say never, right?) a reason to treat your customers like that, especially once the originally offending party moves away. It only begs people to do the opposite.
