  Wow, correct use of “it’s,” (YAAAYYY!!!) but we have a “their” and a “there” in place of “they’re.” (Booooo.) Partial credit. (But bonus points for the huge amount of time spent writing all those signs in alternating marker color. Impressive.)

    On the contrary, “Don’t go in there sleeping” is sound advice. Who knows how Lycia would react to a sleepwalker entering her room?

    But I’m not sure what “veary” is. Perhaps a Russian pronunciation of “weary”?

  Nope, I totally do NOT have a dead hooker in my room. Definitely no one chained naked to the bedposts. And I am most certainly not in possession of any drugs. Absolutely nothing of any interest in this totally boring, mundane room.

    I was thinking of something more along the lines of: “Lycia and friend are not experimenting. There isn’t the tiniest bit of bi-curiosity going on in this room. Just some very boring ‘sleeping’. Move along.”

  As a parent, I would just barge right on in to see what the nothing is all about.

  I will bet my last buck that whatever is going on is not boring at all.

    And if you have a smart scheming kid, they’ll put notes like that on the door when they’re really not doing anything objectionable just to mess with your head.

    Those are in the wash. You’ll have to wear the “I don’t have genital warts” pair instead.

  What I actually picture is a younger sibling writing these because “my stupid big sister and her stupid friend stayed up all night, so now they’re sleeping, instead of doing something fun. Now I have nothing to do, except make multi-colored signs telling everyone how stupid they are.”

    Sorry, but you’re incorrect. The rule is that when all goes quiet, something has *already* been broken.

    So you have a meth lab?

  • #7.2   H for Toy

    Didn’t you see what he painted? He totally doesn’t have a meth lab! I, for one, absolutely believe it.

  • #7.3   kermit

    Maybe the guy in the picture who doesn’t have a meth lab sent out the previous note asking neighbors to leave him alone. And perhaps by painting that handy sign, the people who received the note thought it would be best to inform everybody that they should stay away from the house.

  • #7.4   infanttyrone

    Or maybe the previous note was written on his last sheet of paper, and only after it was gone did he realize that he had forgotten to write something to the effect of “BTW, we’re just very private people – it’s not like we have a meth lab or anything.”
    He probably considered the possibility of going to the store for more paper (considered it a couple of times from each and every possible angle), but decided to stay home and use the garage door instead, because…you know…people who don’t have meth labs in their homes often have to tend things on the stove-top or in the oven (because people without meth labs in their garages often eat multiple times per day) and they can’t just be running off to the store for some exotic item like paper, which, of course, is highly flammable and therefore dangerous, especially in a non-home-meth-lab environment where the residents don’t keep the same number of fire extinguishers lying around.
    Janey…get the front door…Damn, that’s the third time I almost got this grandfather clock put back together and the doorbell rings and now I have to start all over again…rilly, dude…just sayin’…if one more Welcome Wagon creep shows up here, I may lose it and go all White & Pinkman on their noisy ass…

    Are meth lab chemists environmentally conscious? Maybe he’s just really really against using trees for paper. And is trying to minimize his carbon footprint before his actual foot explodes in a maximal way.

    He can’t be that environmentally conscious – looks like he painted the garage with an aerosol can.

  To be fair to “meth lab guy” I have a friend who purchased a house 10 years ago, not knowing it was owned by what was apparently a very busy drug dealer in the area (not meth, though not sure what) and she still has random prowlers show up looking to score. This is in the most burby of the suburbs and less than 2 blocks from the police station. I’m sure at times she has considered a sign.

    I had the same problem when I moved into my house. Everyone was knocking on my door looking for the local weed dealer.
    Not knowing that he lived 2 doors over, I just started telling people he was dead. I ultimately wised up and stopped answering my door.

    That was my first thought too. We had a meth dealer live across the street from us for years that the police wouldn’t do anything about because he “was too small time.” (He was also cheating workman’s comp but that’s another story.) Then his wife got sick of his crap, beat him up, got herself arrested for DV, divorced him, and he moved out. A firefighter moved in after kicking out the meth dealer’s former clients who were squatting there. And now even a year later you’ll hear him yelling at someone looking for meth to get the fuck off his property. Then they’ll call the former dealer and ask him why he didn’t tell them he moved.

    Why they have his cellphone number and not his new address I don’t know. You’d think they’d call first to let him know they’re dropping by. Drug addicts, go figure.

    See, Jami you’ve highlighted even more reasons why drug dealers shouldn’t tell people where they live.

    Yep. And also not to sell directly from the lab they keep in the trailer in their backyard.

    It was always interesting people watching. Especially at prom time. One limo after another would pull up with kids all decked out. One of them or the driver would go up to the gate…. And yet the cops did nothing.

  Is it just me, or did the kid notes remind anyone else of the final fight sequence in the game Portal?

  The various notes sounds like something an ex-housemate of mine would do to those who didn’t agree with him. Considering he labelled me as a ‘retarded child’ because I have a learning disability and didn’t want to do drugs, I have to wonder if this is another university ‘student’ trying to mock his or her housemates that actually study.
