Signs, signs, everywhere a sign!


By definition, a sign is 'a piece of paper, wood, etc., with words or pictures on it that gives information about something'. In general signs convey important information designed to promote safety, in one form or another, while others may also convey more of a threat. For instance, the average STOP sign conveys all the above; information that you need to come to a full stop and an implied warning that should you choose to disobey, you could fave a penalty. So, in general signs are pretty important...

Now let's take this pair of signs located at the Taneycomo Terrace complex in Forsyth Missouri. 


 One would think that the meaning of these would be pretty clear, wouldn't one? Well, apparently not for this crew from US Lawns who use that very same space to park their vehicle and trailer while cutting grass that is was on a separate property! How really crude...

Well, nothing really happened to these people from US Lawns. They got away with ignoring some signs that they apparently felt did not pertain to them. Their manager was notified by email of my  displeasure and I got to post this story for the benefit of anyone who was thinking about hiring a lawn care company for themselves. Why anyone would hire people as illiterate as this group seems to be, would be way beyond my comprehension...

As of mid June, I've never received a response from the management of this company... I was not surprised....
