My day is happier because I haven’t seen most of these. Except the “Don’t annoy the writer…” one. My pastor’s wife gave me a mug with that on it.

Thanks for this. I really need it right now. Writing is a lonely affair. It’s good to laugh at it once in a while

Please do!
(This isn’t exactly the same thing, but in the “crowd” Harvey Levin talks to outside The People’s Court there was a girl wearing a t-shirt that said “SARCASTIC COMMENTS LOADING.”)

I love the first one. That’s me down to the ground. I once removed an apostrophe from a plural on a chalk-written board outside a hairdresser’s shop. (I checked no one was looking, though. I’m not that brave!)
And I want that badge! Where can you get one? 😀

I’ll be your lookout on all such future missions! For almost a year, a construction project going on down the block has had a sign offering (prepare yourself) “CONDO’S FOR SALE!”
(You already know this, but I keep thinking “Condo’s WHAT?”)

Could be worse. I once saw one of those signs with removable letters that said “WATERFRONT CONDOMS FOR SALE”.

I have come close to causing traffic accidents when I see signs with egregious butcherings of the English language.
