Thanks to my sister for sharing this one with me. So many things wrong with this sign.
Some that I notice right away:
- How can a photo be closed? I assume they mean photo DEPARTMENT.
- The comma is not appropriate.
- I’m not sure what “prolems” are, but imagine they are not as bad as “problems.”
- I don’t know about you, but I was always taught that proper nouns (like names of streets) should be capitalized. Apparently, this person was only taught to capitalize the first word in a sentence. The last sentence isn’t even a good sentence with all the words missing.
Having a sign with these many errors is almost worse than having no sign at all. Maybe I should make up a grammatically correct sign for them to use next time and drop it off. As long as their copier isn’t having “prolems.”

Sadly, this is the age of Twitter and instant messages, where spelling, punctuation, capitalization, etc. all get lost in translation. Surprised it didn’t say… “ur gon hav 2 go 2 mesa drive n brown”
