Today in urban etiquette signage

Photo by Stacie Joy

Spotted on Seventh Street between Avenue B and Avenue C... a homemade reminder to share the greenery. 

The sign gets right to the point: DOG & MAN PISS KILLS PLANTS & TREES (DOGS CAN’T READ — YOU CAN).

There are even blank spaces to note how long it might take the offending plants and trees to recover. 

Also, dibs on Man Piss for a band name.

Bands names became so lame in recent years, it feels like all real names were finally taken, and all left is either mundane or sheer stupidity.

Whenever I said to a dog owner, who was letting their dog shit and piss on a tree or tree bed, by simply saying "curb your dog", I was always met with total aggression, including "fuck you", "you bitch" etc.
really strange.

…and we have brand new facilities. May I ask politely; as a woman I ask the men, why do you feel the need to urinate in the park greenery when there are open clean toilets available to you?

Marking their turf—amirite, men?

Try telling them it doesn’t belong in the supermarket!
