This sign you need to hear in order to understand. You might also need to know some Spanish, or at least what “Navidad” means. (It means Christmas.) Most people get in the Christmas mood by adding decorations such as lights and snowmen, but when you’re tight on money, it’s always nice to think outside the box and DIY something.
What better way to get into the Christmas spirit than by turning a “For Lease” sign into a holiday card for everyone to read as they drive by? At least that’s what we hope happened — not kids with a huge Sharpie and too much spare time.
A Boxer on a Cardboard Box
This is about as creative as it gets. It's simple, yet so on point. Can you imagine Mike Tyson at a garage sale? Going through cardboard boxes and trying to get a good deal on a vanity mirror or a cake mixer? Well, now you can. You're welcome.
This sign is an "if you know, you know" kind of situation, and for those who may not know, Mike Tyson has a slight lisp. And though we are against poking fun at people for any sort of speech impediment, we couldn't help but giggle! Very slightly and inaudibly (we don't want to get in trouble with that guy), but still giggle.
Everything Must Go!
"Cheating Garage Wife Sale"? That can't be right. Oh, wait, now we get it. It's the placement of the writing on the two sides of the cardboard that had us confused for a minute there. Plus, there is the fact that the bottom half of the sign goes top to bottom and then left to right. Not much consistency there, but we get it. The guy is going through a difficult time.
When this man wrote, "everything must go," he meant everything! Including his unloyal wife. This will probably be the most savage yet worthwhile yard sale you'll attend this year. We wonder if his wife and her lover came to the sale to buy back all of his belongings before moving out!
To Steal From a Thief
What do you do when your boyfriend leaves you and takes the dog with him? You get rid of all of his stuff, that's precisely what you do! And what do you do with the money you get from selling all of his stuff? The options are endless and they heavily depend on how much was made.
From treating yourself to a whole pineapple pizza (which he hates) to going on a vacation and getting your groove back, there are no bad ideas here. What kind of person steals someone else's dog? A monster, that's who! Sell his stuff, girl, sell it all!
A Queen on Kingston Avenue
There are many ways to draw someone to an event you're hosting, but this one seems a little puzzling. We don't understand why someone thought that advertising that their grandmother was psycho was a sure way to get people to come to their garage sale.
Maybe they know something about yard sales signs that we don't? Perhaps the fact that she's unhinged means that the prices of the stuff she's selling are very, very low? Another option is that she is selling stuff that no one in their right mind would sell. Either way, it sounds like a sale worth visiting and a grandma worth knowing.
