An EVG reader passed along this photo of an Urban Etiquette Sign on Seventh Street between Avenue B and Avenue C... a sensible request not to throw firecrackers ... they scared the note-writer's dog... and are a potential fire hazard, she writes.
"Do Not Sit on the railing of the tree guard. Your weight bends the planter holder.
As a deterrent the railing has been coated with grease."
Effective April 1, 2016 all new residents and visitors to New York City Over the age of 16 will be required to take a mandatory training session on Proper Etiquette for navigating the sidewalks and streets of the greater metropolitan area.
Upon completion of training, applicants must then pass an oral and practical exam in order to qualify for a NYC DPE Pedestrian Permit. Any mistakes will result in denial of permission to enter the city for a period of no less than one year.
To the low-life, bottom-feeder who saw fit to cut the blossoms of the hydrangea plant in the back yard: May you contact a painful disease, and you suffer mercilessly! You are sub-human.
Your fellow tenants
"Please keep your cat inside. It has been coming into our backyard harassing and fighting with our two backyard cats and eating all their food. If the cat continues to come here we will have no choice but to call the ASPCA."
To the tenants of this building
Please only put your garbage out on the days it is scheduled to be picked up. Do not put your garbage out over the weekend … The garbage on the street is unsightly and unsanitary.
Keep your voices down, keep your drinks inside, and in general treat this sidewalk like your mom's porch.
The people who live above your head have lived here for many years and deserve to enjoy peace and quiet while we all enjoy our party.
When you disrespect the tenants of this building you disrespect our business, our employees, and our neighborhood.
Have some common decency and keep yourself under control while outside the building.
We love you and want you to have a blast. Just do us a favor and do it in a way that doesn't ruin the night of the people who make this neighborhood awesome.
"Your wind chimes in a strong wind, sound like an incessantly ringing doorbell with the power to awaken one from a deep sleep."
Please close the door behind you. (Safer for all)
(and call the landlord to remind him)
Love the decorations. Thanks.
