My neighbourhood has the best signs (see here, here, here and here). I was thinking of starting a new category just for these, and after coming across this on the way home, I think I will:
Poor old Nukie. I almost brought him home, but I knew P would only let me give him a little bowl of WD-40 before sending him off to “culinary camp.”
That’s if I can even get in the front door. Check out what welcomed me home after a few hours off on my own:
Aww that’s so sad… Working well, means his services are grateful welcomed, thus wanted!
Cheers.
I suspect they just wanted to upgrade to a newer model. It’s like the first wife of microwaves.
That totally makes me want a metal door now.
It’s actually an exterior door (our closed-in-but-not-heated front porch was once open to the elements). Ugly as sin, especially from the inside, but it *is* handy.
Add some chalkboard paint and *BAM* you’ve got a message and harassment center right there.
We have a metal door to our garage. I can only think of the messages if I added letter magnets to it. Nice.
DOOOOO IIIIIIIIT.
Poor unwanted thing, I can totally relate!
So I’m not the only one who feels bad for inanimate objects? Phew!
No, most certainly not. I blame my grandmother. She kept telling me jokingly I should not eat tiny potatoes, tomatoes, apples etc. because they would “cry inside my belly”

Man, it was a tough day all around.
It’s a good thing I was away from home for a fancy-pantsy haircut. I was all, “You’re just gonna have to let me in for I am FAR TOO FABULOUS to stand out here in the cold!” Plus I had a key, so, you know …
Fabulous and keys. Someday’s you only get one of the two. Don’t you just hate it when you lose the keys?
The day is getting better all the time.
You are such a trip! I enjoy reading your posts!
Inanimate objects have soul
our old car was working fine till we started mentioning selling it, then it played up the whole time a complete nightmare, sold it by some fluke and the bloke never complained. car must have liked it’s new home 
I love the sign on door. I wrote a long one once all about having flu and if I don’t answer the door it’s because I don’t want to lol
P undecorated and removed this year’s Christmas tree before I had a chance to say goodbye to it, and I was, to put it mildly, bereft.
aw
lol
I went through all the signs and had myself a good laugh. You live in a humorous neighborhood Jeni! Thanks for posting these. They made my cold wintry day a little brighter and warmer
It *is* a really great place to live, as evidenced by the regular stream of agents that call and knock wanting to know if we know of anyone selling. Maybe word is out about the fun signs. I blame this blog!
Ditto the above comment – thanks for the laugh!
Thank YOU for the comment!
The message is almost cheery – what with all the different colours. I’m sure it wasn’t intended for you – just everyone else.
I’m fairly certain I was the intended target — but I also have a key, so joke’s on them.
I’m sure that was meant for all the door-to-door microwave salespeople, not you
Ha! Good one.
interesting topic!
Thanks — it’s weird how this stuff just keeps showing up (literally) outside my door!
I love your neighborhood, Jeni!
My friend JO (Chronicles of Illusion) from New Zealand showed an old microwave being used as a mailbox in one of her posts. I can’t believe someone in your neighborhood didn’t think of that! LOL!
Had to laugh at the message on the door! Must be an amazing neighborhood.
It is … and that’s MY front door! Jerks.
