Speechless Sundays: First Impressions Last

"Yard" sign at the Oregon coast

 

Saw this woebegone sign while on vacation at the Oregon coast, during my morning walk to the beach. Won't soon forget it -- or the impression it left of the property and its agent.

Hi Lisa-

Oh  boy, am I ever in agreement.  The property looks like it is so uncared for.

WOW, what a MESS.  It has to be the worst sign condition I have seen, on a property. THE SIGN IS TOO SMALL AND TOO SHORT.  With such big overgrown weeks and grass, the sign needs to be on a tall post. 

Also, the sign needs to be a large square. The small round shape, does NOT get the job done. 

Thanks For Sharing.   Myrna  :) :) :)

Lisa,

I have seen worse, but this looks a headstone. :)

Sara -- Looks like it hasn't had a visitor in many, many moons.

Myrna -- It's the worst I've seen too (and hope to ever see -- makes us all look bad).

Steve -- I thought so too!
