First up: a peek inside the recently renovated dressing rooms at London’s swank Royal Albert Hall. Adds our submitter: “You can just feel the glamour, can’t you?”
Meanwhile, in the breakroom at Ashley’s office, even snarky responses get their own frames. Now that’s classy.

Do not write signs about the signs I write asking that signs not be posted…they will be thrown away daily if they have no name and date, though I don’t know why it must be dated, as we’re throwing them all out daily as it is.
Yeah, just put your name on it…so we know who to laugh at as we toss your crap.

With the last one, I would be so tempted to make yet another framed not excusing the previous notes.
(I do love the matching frame touch)

I can so see this happening.
“Please do not put anything on top of this fridge. Thanks!”
“Please do not put anything on top of this fridge except notes telling people not to put things on the fridge. Thanks”
“Please do not put anything on top of this fridge except notes telling people not to put things on the fridge, and notes about notes telling people to not to put things on the fridge. Thanks”
“Please do not put anything on top of this fridge except notes telling people not to put things on the fridge, and notes about notes telling people to not to put things on the fridge, and notes about notes about notes about not putting anything on the fridge except for notes about not putting things on the fridge. Thanks”

They’re kind of like the “unnecessary” quotation marks.

There’s definitely a bright future for PA in Ashley’s workplace, what with everything that isn’t named and dated being thrown away… “Why did you throw the breakroom garbage out; didn’t you see it was signed and dated?!?”
The counter and counter-counter PA will escalate until that office collapses in on itself in a PAimplosion!
Mandatory nametags, folks, unless you want to end up in the dumpster!

You think this is bad? I worked somewhere that had that sign from the freezer door in the restroom.

Just to mess with the person I’d put a date like 1800 because it doesn’t specify if the date needs to be current.

And that is why I would spend the money to get my own damn fridge for my office. The Fridge Gestapo is the worst.

Everything old is new again. I remember seeing “POST NO BILLS” on nearly every accessible wall in nearly every city I ever visited as a kid.
It wasn’t until I was in my teens that I learned that “bills” was short for “handbills,” which, when not posted to walls, are called “flyers” because, being loose, they tend to get caught up in the wind and…fly.
The More You…Knooooow. Team comma!

That sign on the fridge is far from informative. I mean, yeah put a date on it, but to what end? Does that mean as long as it has ANY date written on it, it won’t be thrown out? Otherwise, they should specify something like “food over a week old will be thrown out”.
My biggest issue with the office fridge was with someone who always brought a huge cooler size lunchbox that took up tons of space, leaving me having to cram my little lunch bag in there. I guess we’d need a system like the bag check at the airport “lunch items need to be under 8 inches per side.”

And no zoot suits in the boiler room. It could start a riot.

At least it’s “thanks” and not “FOR FUCKS SAKE.”

it has been photo shopped…the smaller frame is an altered version of the first. the perspective on the inner metal edge is all off for a frames sitting at that angle and they both have the same scuff on the front right edge. sorry to be a kill joy. i can’t believe no one else pointed that out.

How many notes would it take to fill the Royal Albert Hall?
4000, at a guess.

I would just start writing in different calendars and using symbols. I mean, they didn’t say it had to be in English, right?
