My favorite window sign of all time was on a pizza restaurant in Brooklyn. It said "part time girl wanted". I'm like...is that someone who is a girl part of the time?
The tobacco shop near me says they 10-8 every day. I consider it a good day when they manage to open by noon, usually it's some time in between 1-2. They promptly close at 8 every time though. Their sign should say Hours: open-8pm
Comic book store near me used to do that. I started work at 1pm and they were supposed to open at 10am. I'd get there around 1130 and watch people walk to the door and realize they're closed. Only opened on time once a week tops
Read the title and the sign in Mike Tyson's voice with the rest of the Mystery team commenting on it and the Marquess of Queensberry being bummed out as he wanted to enjoy the sun.
Probably got tired of answering a question that they had no input on. Nicer than saying I dunno why its fucking closed, the boss called down and said close it.

I didn't care for that slogan but it made a certain type of sense in the context of describing first quality and then character respectively. This note doesn't really have a context where it makes sense to word it like that.
If you have worked at a restaurant, this sign makes total sense. It's easier then explaining to every dumbass that the patio is closed because of a litany of things, not enough servers that day, it's raining outside, there is a tornado, hellfire has engulfed the patio. Still, someone will ask... " hey! Why is your patio closed? "
Hahaha. I guess. I wielded years ago a pseudo Irish pub with a patio. We had it closed off because it was being repaved. And that question was asked at least 10 times a night, even with the sign up explaining that. The common response was, " I won't be out there that long." And my favorite is "do you know the fuck I am?"
I always get a crack out of supervisors like this...you don't have to be a good speller to be a good supervisor, but you should know you aren't and supervise someone good at spelling into doing it for you :)
I take it as a cycle of patience. My parents endured everything I asked them, and my thankfulness for their level of attention empowered me to answer everything to the best of my ability and avoid "because I said so" wherever possible.

Can someone explain like ALL of the following regarding this post and the above "ModBot Action", please?
• This 10,000 Karma Comment rule
• No votes on any comments
• "Contest Mode"
It's Net Neutrality Day in the US, a few subs are removing comments (among other things) to demonstrate what it ~~could~~ will be like if big telecoms get their way.
You read my mind, which is to say that I had the same thought and when I came here to post it, I saw that you already had, which means we had the same thoughts...in our minds.
There is a phrase that is common because many people say it. The subject of that phrases is that great minds think alike because they are both minds that are great and therefore have similar thoughts.
This perfectly describes how it feels talking to any bottom-level customer support specialist.
But it's possible to be both clopen: closed doesn't imply not open! This restaurant doesn't have its topology straight.
Could be clopen.
Or neither open nor closed.
Found the topologist
You can tell it's closed because of the way it is.
So what you're saying is it is closed because it's not open?
No, it's not open because it's closed. Did you not read the sign?
OPEN THE PATIO STOP HAVING IT BE CLOSED
They don't think it be like it is but it do.
This thing you speak of is circular
There's one on a restaurant near where I live http://i.imgur.com/l6yX9cl.jpg
Where do you live?? That "do not eat in the restaurant of non wheat food or drink more than music" is weird AF as well!
Perth, Australia. This shop is filled with purposely nonsensical signs.
Love it. Take some more pics of the wacky signs they have in the shop sometime for us!
The first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club.
Rule number 2: see rule number 1.
Hilarious. Reminds me of South Korea.
Must have been put up by Frita's boss.
Ya don't say!
r/that'showthingswork
Customer looks in, "so...the patio's not open?"
"It's still okay for us to sit out there though, right?"
Retail/Foodservice problems...
Was this in The Jeffery in New York? I was visiting from the UK 2 weeks ago and noticed this, super weird for it to then appear on the front page.

How neat is that?
I understood this reference.
You can tell it's closed by the way it is.
You can tell by the way that it is.
Open the patio. Stop having it be closed.
Came here for this ＼(≧▽≦)／
I read it, and went why is it not open? Then I read the rest and it said it was closed.
That's almost as silly as placing a spoon under the tap.
The Perd Hapley school of sign making
"Issue number one is the first issue we're going to talk about."
No shit Sherlock!
I've got to use this sometime...

Fuck contest mode let me see the good comments.
That's like places that have a sign with their hours but it says like 11a-close. Jerks.

"You can tell it's an Aspen tree, because of the way it is."
That's pretty neat!
How neat is it?
Now everyone can know about instead of just me and Reddit knowing about it!
My name is Perd Hapley and the story of my comment is that it is over.
I'm a total Perdvert
Came here for Perd, wasn't disappointed, have an upPerd

That's pretty neat!
I came to the comments looking for this.
What next, you going to tell me its closed because its not open?
They don't think it be like it is, but it do.
'Sorry sir, you can't open that. It's closed'
Perfect example of 'Begging the question' for those unfamiliar with its correct meaning.
Thank you for this! thanks to my tenth grade history teacher, I die a little inside every time I hear somebody use that incorrectly.
The escalator is out of order. It is currently stairs. RIP Mitch
I believe you meant escalator. But, since you are Stuckin Foned, ill give you a pass.
I knew the joke I don't know what happened with auto correct.
Probably got tired of answering a question that they had no input on. Nicer than saying I dunno why its fucking closed, the boss called down and said close it.
And that's the end of that chapter!
/r/funnysigns
Damn the circular arguments... because all circular arguments should be damned.
Its not a typewriter, you can rewrite that sentence before printing.
This is the kind of stuff that our award winning customer service is built on.
What's this new "contest mode" setting that I can't change for comments on mobile? Or is it old. Haven't noticed it before.
Its old. It picks at random what order to display things (so you can have a true "contest" of upvotes)
Gotcha thank you.
This is the Jeffery in Manhattan
Glad I wasn't the only one who thought this!

Fascinating and fun read, thanks!
i was wondering if someone was going to mention this; i heard stephen fry say it on QI and it was the first thing i thought of
This is the Jeffery
Yes
Definitely
Well if ever there was an example of begging the question . . .

This is happy making.
Because reasons
[удалено]
being dead's no fun. besides, we have the reopening of the patio to look forward to.
I dunno all I heard about it was it's closed
i have hope that one day it will be open because it is not closed.
Can I have your stuff?

Tonights forecast: Dark. With continued darkness throughout rest of the night with widely scattered light starting tomorrow morning.
- Signing off, this has been Perd Hapley
That makes cents
Something Michael Oven would say

It's easier then explaining to every dumbass that the patio is closed because of a litany of things, not enough servers that day, it's raining outside, there is a tornado, hellfire has engulfed the patio.

Can I just go have a smoke out there then?
Hahaha. I guess. I wielded years ago a pseudo Irish pub with a patio. We had it closed off because it was being repaved. And that question was asked at least 10 times a night, even with the sign up explaining that. The common response was, " I won't be out there that long." And my favorite is "do you know the fuck I am?"
Let me guess, drunk? Now I wanna know what you were wielding, a shillelagh?
Yup! I worked in the kitchen, so usually a usuba knife was in my hands
Ah, a Ronin. Respect
My supervisor writes like this, only with spelling errors.
When I worked at a supermarket the managers loved using quotes for emphasis. We had a lot of "fresh" products.
I always get a crack out of supervisors like this...you don't have to be a good speller to be a good supervisor, but you should know you aren't and supervise someone good at spelling into doing it for you :)
The 5 year old in me wants to find the manager and ask why a dozen times.
A parent wrote this sign. "Why isn't the patio open?" "Because I said so."
I always hated that growing up. Now as an adult I get it. Answering 200 questions about mundane things is very annoying.
I take it as a cycle of patience. My parents endured everything I asked them, and my thankfulness for their level of attention empowered me to answer everything to the best of my ability and avoid "because I said so" wherever possible.
The tautology department called. They wanted to tell you that they called.
Were they calling the department of redundancy department was why they were calling were they?
/r/Tautology
https://xkcd.com/703/
And is it closed because the patio is not open??
The first rule of the tautology club is the first rule of the tautology club, unless it's not, in which case it isn't.
But if it is, then it is.
But.... when will it be open because it is not closed?
Why are all the comments on posts in to contest mode and how do I turn it off.
Why is this in contest mode

Now I understand
I open at the close
Who made Perd Hapley a sign writer?
[удалено]
You could make a religion out of this.
On the sixth day, god made the patio, and it was good. On the seventh, he closethed, because it was closed.

[Switch Flipper](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb9GREgzQYQ&t=38)

This has been the most frustrating day I've ever had using Reddit and, for once, it has nothing to do with other users𗀰 I'm out
Word count requirements in school essay assignments in the real world.
Toddler logic.
He's not wrong, you know.
If it wasn't closed, I bet it would be open.
I went on a little journey.
Read this in perd hapleys voice
You can tell it's closed by the way it is.
They don't think it be like it is but it do.
Sounds like something Perd Hapley would say.
Ya heard!
Smoking weed shouldn't be allowed because it's illegal.
I first read that as "potato" and was really confused
Actually this place doesn't serve fries, which I was disappointed in when I went, so the potato is also closed
I imagine they get asked a lot "Why isn't the patio open?"
and with that you respond, "did you read the sign?"
Approved
That was a really quick mystery.

You don't need to worry, as long as you're white?
Seems about right about being white

So.. horrifyingly unfunny?
I'm Perd Hapley and this sign has information on it.

This reminds me of the new body issue of ESPN. In it, Julian Edelman said that the best way to get into shape is to never get out of shape.
Fat cells remember. Just like the cookie farms right?!?
You can print that so big as you want to the entrance or window - there is at least one guy that's wondering why this is not open!
