(After all, once they’ve moved back home into their old bedrooms, they can just raid your liquor cabinet and sneak bills from your wallet, just like old times!)
Meanwhile, this note/social critique was spotted by James in downtown Iowa City, “amid dozens of bars and thousands of over-privileged young suburbanites.”
If, however, your entrepreneurial kiddos do decide to strike out their own, you might want to keep tabs on the Sudafed in the medicine cabinet. (Especially if “on their own” means “the room above the garage.”)

as a social statement, I give it a meh. As a social statement that correctly uses “your”, I give it a Go Team Grafittist.

Dear God, let my son be the one to copy this bit of vandalism. … but substituting “mom” for “dad”.

In photo #1, is honesty really the best policy? Seriously, who turns down extra money? Oh, I get it, he’s in AA, and doesn’t want to be “enabled.”
As for #2…someone call the Cops. They may not have a meth lab, but they’re hiding something!

If you don’t want cops and druggies to stop by your home at all hours of the day and night looking for drugs, you may want to keep your yard looking nice and stop driving around in a pimped-out dodge blasting that bass that knocks out neighbors windows.
Just sayin’

That garage should raise no more suspicion than the “I’m not driving under the influence (never ever) leave me alone” signs duct-taped to this guy’s car.

“There’s no meth lab in this garage, you nosy neighbors.
If you were such know-it-alls, you’d know a chop-shop when you saw one!”

I love the first note. I don’t get why so many people go to college and then just party away and not take it seriously. It pisses me off. I went and I showed up to every class and actually studied. I was not about to waste my parent’s money. And I was not privileged enough to have my own apartment or dorm room and fancy car and all the stuff many of the party hardy college students get.
I partied some, on the weekends after the work was done so I still had time to recover by class Monday morning. That is the responsible thing to do. These asses waste their parent’s and even the taxpayers money if they go on financial aid. If you are not going to take it seriously, don’t go!
My kids are going to be told if they so much as mess up one semester that is it, no more money ever from us. Take it seriously or you are on your own. I got saddled with some prima donna Sorority girl one time for a final exam project and she made me get a bad grad.

Haha I go to the University of Iowa, where the first sign is located, and it excites me to see that graffiti make it up on this site. It’s true, though, this is a party school and there are a lot of insanely irresponsible people who piss away their parent’s hard working money just so they can dress up like a member of The Jersey Shore and celebrate “thirsty Thursday”. Ucky.

I feel like if my house is constantly being mistaken for a meth lab some remodeling, rennovation and/or general cleaning is in order.

What an amazing coincidence, I have that exact same sign on MY meth lab too!

I’m FROM Iowa City, and I assure you, the school’s only affluent “suburbanites” come from the Chicago suburbs. Everyone else is from rural or small-town Iowa.

Just an FYI – I go to Iowa, I know who did the first pic, and it was a girl. All of that “he” business made me LOL
