I live in a hipster neighborhood, where snarking on sidewalk signs is an art form. This morning I saw the most Dope-appropriate sign ever outside a coffee shop, and I had to share: Your Beautiful * * * Come inside and tell me about my grammar ---

Nitpick: Wouldn’t that be punctuation and spelling? 🙂 ---

What could I say about his grammar? I’ve never even met her. ---

Pedant-sniping marketing. That’s insidious. It’s hard to resist the siren OCD lure of telling them how wrong their sign is, and while I’m at it, get me a double espresso. Bastards. ---

Had an advertising client (crusty old fart running an appliance store) that I learned a lot of Old School Tricks from. He’d always hang one sign upside-down in the window. So he got a lot of foot traffic-- people would come in to point it out (and he claimed that if they felt like they were smarter than he was, they might feel like they could get a bargain off him).
