I was just looking through this again, and it reminded me of another whole genre of Bad Public Signage we didn't get into, namely: Inappropriate Use of Quotation Marks for Emphasis. As Us About Our "Special" Prices. Everything On "Sale".

My personal favorite of these was in the break room of the HVAC company Zoner's parents used to run. He and I spent a weekend wiring the place for Ethernet one time, back before wifi was a Thing, and at one point I noticed a hand-lettered sign taped to the wall by the fridge reading:

"EXPERIENCED" INSTALLERS WANTED

"COMPETITIVE" PAY AND "GREAT" BENEFITS

Mr. and Mrs. Zone ran a quality establishment, but I have to say, I have encountered furnace companies around these parts that I think meant those sarcasm quotes in exactly the way they look. :)
