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.
That Christmas Spirit
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.
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!
Orange Is the New Black
What does a person on their way to the slammer do with all of their belongings while they're away? Sells them! If there was ever a yard sale to go to, a Going to Jail Sale is it. You know that they are selling everything they own. From clothing to jewelry to furniture — everything must go.
They aren't getting rid of these things because they want to. Instead, they have to. It's a win/win situation. You're buying bargains while doing this guy a favor! Plus, you can get yourself a can of Coke for just 50 cents! That is a major selling point if you ask us.
Pop-Culture
So how exactly do you set your garage sale apart from all the others? Get a high-profile personality to advertise it, of course! Except budget is a thing so you have to get a little creative with an original sign to lure people in. These funny signs reference back to current moments in entertainment that everyone is bound to be familiar with.
Whether it's Macklemore, Batman, or Gandalf (Kanye may not be the best choice for a spokesperson nowadays), someone is bound to know one of these references and have a good laugh. Even if you've only got $20 in your pocket...
