So I came across this one today...
I've seen some terrible photos in auctions and classified ads, but this might be one of the worst.

Anyone else have any "good ones" to share?

Not only bad pictures, but why do so many people on Facebook not know how to use punctuation? They type in run on sentences and can't spell right either. When they respond they just post people's names to the listing or say things like "I want it how much". Is that a question or a statement?

Texting.  Written illiteracy has soared since texting, and auto-correct that sometimes fails and doesn't understand context.

Call me Alabama

sarahperdue's profile picture
There’s a very sleazy ambulance chasing law firm in Alabama headed by a guy named Alexander Shunnarah. He has billboards all over the state that read “Call me Alabama” with a great big picture of his face, his name and number. I always think I’d never hire a lawyer who didn’t have a basic grasp of comma usage. And, yes, I text in complete sentences with punctuation and rail against the impending demise of the adverb.

At reply #5....

Yes!  You're preaching to the choir about the sleaziness of those ugly signs around our otherwise beautiful state!

 

And good point as well about the comma. If he can't punctuate a simple ad slogan correctly; imagine errors on legal documents which could cost you thousands or more!

Here's a new one. Free dryer, so I suppose the level of effort for the photo was expected...
