CT and his friends were driving home from the beach when they stopped at a gas station in Luverne, Alabama and found this posted next to the men’s bathroom.
“The ‘Danger!’ sign below was apparently the first attempt to keep people from opening this door,” says CT. “God only knows what’s behind it. I’m assuming this door of unspeakable power continued to get opened, prompting the posting of the second sign.”

Hey, I feel your pain, gas station attendant, having to deal with so much stupidity all day long. But — with the help of Rachael in Portland — I think I’ve found someone else who can relate.
Allow me to introduce Lily. She’s 8.

Reminds me of a note my sister used to have on her bedroom door.
“NO WAY, DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT – NO ONE IS ALLOWED IN HERE (without gifts or money)”

Maybe I’m stuiped, but a sign like that would make me want to open the door out of sheer curiosity. What’s on the other side, a bottomless chasm? A fire-breathing dragon? Narnia?

That note would scare me into not opening the door. I am terrified of illiterate note leavers.

I love the “<3 Lily"… Not really committing to the anger, is she?

LOL…I love how the person who tried to correct the incorrect grammar did it incorrectly (the first ‘your’ should be ‘you’ and not ‘you’re’)…at least they got the second ‘you’re’ correct!

See, looking at the first-first sign (and considering the setting), there’s no way to be sure it didn’t originally read “Dancer”, and then some rapscallion went and defaced the “c”. And who doesn’t want to meet a fun dancing friend, during their filling-station adventures?
Team open-the-door-to-be-sure! (Besides, if they were really “seirous” about people not opening it, there’s this amazing invention called a lock that’s been proven up to 15% more effective than even painstakingly hand-lettered signs!)

Fire breathing dragons are being held in gas stations now are they? I guess that’s a better deterrent to a potential burglar, eh?
As for the second note, I don’t even wanna go there.

the door next to a men’s bathroom is likely a women’s room, and being in a gas station in Alabama, which only recently got indoor plumbing, I’d be scared of what foulness is behind that door.

Lily sounds awesome.
However, the first time I read her note, I read it as “then my Mom was wanking”. Which, to be fair, sounds more enjoyable than telling off an 8-8rold. People are usually a little less honest about it, though.

That first note sounds like an invitation to me. What could be behind that door that is so dangerous? What is a “Stuiped?” Is that like a biped or a quadraped? Maybe the “Stuiped” is what is so dangerous?
Note #2… Poor abused, neglected girl. Mommy probably paddled her ass with the spoon, too, for interrupting her “work;” which likely consists of playing Farmville in between selling shit on E-Bay. This must have been left for Daddy to find when he got home. Gotta love passive-aggressive attention-seeking behavior!

My either reads just fine, this guy must be stuiped to think otherwise.
But then, how bright do you have to be to work in an Alabama gas station?

I’m not going to pick on Lily, age 8 years.
Why?
Because it’s pretty evident that her heart is broken.

I wonder what happened in the corner of the page, im guessing Lilly beat it off with a spoon or bit it off amd spit it at her mom in rage.

Boy, we can send a man to the Moon, but we can’t build a pen with a spellchecker?
That’s just stuiped.

Holy hell those “R”s are annoying the crap out of me. What writing style is that? How the hell is that supposed to an R?

SPOON SPANKING!!!!! I need details. Was it a wooden spoon that mom used to spank her bottom? Did she pop her on top of her head with a stainless steel soup spoon? (Oh, the alliteration was fucking delicious….) Perhaps a rap across the knuckles with delicate silver teaspoon. I’ve got to know!!!!! By the way, it could have been much worse. She could have ‘forked’ the girl’s sister instead.
Personally, I prefer to fork first, then spoon afterward.

It was Lily’s sister who was stuiped…not her mom!
Maybe if her stuiped sister had not pissed off mommy, then Lily would have gotten the attention she obviously needed. Though I’m thinking mom might be a little stuiped too.
As for the wooden spoon ~ those work great for spankings! Makes for a not smarting hand for the spanker, but leave a smarting cheek for the spankee

I want to know what circumstances would prompt a false accusation of spoon spanking.

It is nice that the author does not assume that the illiterate are necessarily stupid, indicated by their use of “or”
