Our Sign

Our pet store is right beside a pizza shop, and needless to say, people park in our very small 3 car lot to order their pizza. I ALMOST wouldn't mind, but you can't park in front of our store during rush hour, and the owner of the pizza place had the odacity to come to our place and complain that our customers were using HIS lot.

For realz, I bet we get 20 people a day using our lot for pizza. And sometimes they SIT THERE AND EAT IT in their cars, while paying customers of ours must park down the street. (or not stop at all at our place)

We put up this sign not long after moving in, and I bet we get 10 compliments per week about it. (I made it, and personally think it's ... a teeny bit funny... but seriously, people bust a gut over it all the time.) It even got stolen a couple of years ago, so we had it made again, and then affixed it with like ... 20 screws.

To add insult to injury, I think that font is Comic Sans! pfft!

*giggles & whips out an electric screwdriver to steal your sign*

Yup, time to fight dirty. Can you make pizza? I guarantee you'll be the only Pet Pizza Traders around. *nods*

Yes, I'm sure that pizza with extra pet hair and feathers would be very popular. :D

Remember to charge extra for the exotic toppings.

Hell, I want to steal that sign! You really can only park three cars between the two businesses? Is it parallel or just that tiny of a lot? Oh well. At least your business enriches people's lives. His just makes everyone fatter!

No, he's across the street from us. Well, sideways across, if that makes sense. We both face out on the main road, but there is a street between us. We have room for 3 or 4 cars and he has about the same amount, but is usually full of his own delivery cars.

They're not really there long enough, and I generally don't know WHO is parked there, unless I'm outside and see them walking over with a pizza box in tow.

Awesome sign! (Did you get your money?)

Yes I did! Thank you! Sorry for the delay. The notifications go to my hubby's account, so he didn't realize your payment hadn't gone through until some others did, and when I asked him about yours, he had no idea.

but yes, it went through and all is good. I hope the other people returned your payment????

When I was in the Navy, there was a sign at the CPOs Club put up in the Handicapped parking spot:

"If you are not handicapped when you park here, you will be when you leave."

Mind, this was over 25 years ago, but its memory still beings a smile to my face. :)
