I'm going away tomorrow, so I have to do laundry. Luckily, there are laundry facilities in the basement of my apartment. My landlords were even kind enough to put up this helpful sign:
English isn't their first language, so I won't rag on them too much for the apostrophe catastrophe.
I didn't have enough quarters, so I decided to stop at a laundromat on my way home to get change. Clearly, someone forgot to press the shift key when making this sign:
Good thing I wasn't planning on staying very long!
Someone tried to fix this horrendous sign, but he/she forgot the apostrophe:
Oh, check it out! If you bring some guys named Matt, you can wash them here!
And, finally, we have unnecessary quotation marks:
I feel like I hit the jackpot in this laundromat! Let's hope my luck continues in Vegas.

I know exactly which laundromat this is! I go to get quarters there on weekends! : )
That's so funny! I wonder if anyone actually does laundry there. Maybe it just functions as a change dispenser. Isn't there another laundromat that's even closer to you, though?
Yo found this through your facebook link. Very funny!
oh man, this is amazing! :)
These are GREAT signs. And by "great," I mean "horrendous." :)
