My dear neighbor. We by all means shall all be delighted if you would consider refraining from enjoying the roof upon further request


A fine Urban Etiquette Sign courtesy of Sy on 5th Street ... who discovered this on Fifth Street between Second Avenue and the Bowery this afternoon.

  1. Very nice! Short and to the point and the sentence doesn't end in a preposition.

    I think in this case the person set off the alarm... and the alarm stayed on for an uncomfortably long time...

  4. I'd submit it to

    except for the fact that the aggression was not all that passive.

    I love neighborhood notes.

  5. i think the overlooked thing here is that this sign was printed on a computer. someone actually took the time to center and resize the word "ASSHOLE," too.
