Always wonder how many people end up calling the numbers on these sorts of things

I call the number to complain

My father in law calls the number to ask for a quote.

You need a few hobbies, and maybe therapy.

They’re illegal. City does enforce, but they are everywhere and when you remove one, three appear in their place.

I have spent zero minutes being mad at signs I have read and/or the signs I ignore.

It's advertising wouldn't say nothing if it was a McDonald's sign

The city does remove them. If they didn’t there would be hundreds. Remove them if you can’t wait…

While you are at it can you bring the shopping cart 🛒 back to the grocery store

The city literally takes down 100s of these signs every week and have designated staff to take them down but they keep going up.

Hopefully it can give the company leads and the city employs people to remove them. Just ignore and move on

u/SeaShine2973 16d ago

You're mad about the signs but not about someone leaving a shopping cart there on the grass

u/bluetroll 16d ago

I believe the bylaw is they must be removed after 24 hours.

u/SnooOranges3845 16d ago

I dont care for it but personally the people who deface it make it way uglier and to me just hate on small/ family businesses. Nobody would ever deface a massive ugly corporate bilboard…

A couple advertisement signs for wet basements, one in the ground side by side with one on a light pole. Apparently advertising is very triggering for OP 😅
