Some photos are not only about what's inside the frame but also about what's outside of it. They ask you to let your imagination loose and fill in the gaps yourself.
To show you how fun this task can be, we at Bored Panda put together a collection of images with very specific signs, clearly suggesting that they have interesting backstories behind them.
I mean, if a cafe warns you that its syrups aren't hand sanitizers, there must've been something that made them do it.

Kelly here found a different way to disappoint their father.. 😁
Load More Replies...I know it's just a joke, but there's zero shame in being a pole dancer. If your father's disappointed, that's on him.
Pole has been added as an upcoming Olympic sport! No joke! My daughter is into pole as a full - body workout and she is amazingly strong! Most of the folks involved with competitive pole are happily with a partner and many are parents. The pole world is extremely supportive of anyone who wants to get involved, no matter the age, fitness level, size or sex (thought I'd be too large but my daughter said absolutely not and showed me video of other folks my size participating). I wish all of society treated one another the way these folks do!
Load More Replies...When I was 10, my friend and I were twirling on the poles of some string lights (we would jump up, and spin down), and she said she wanted to be a professional pole dancer when she grew up 😳
I wonder how many tents have come down immaturely for this to be a thing.
Father is very proud, he was the one who found me my dance teacher and has always been my example of how there is nothing wrong with going against what society calls masculinity.

Load More Replies...However, if you want to make a sign for your garage sale or even business, you need to consider more than just getting your point across.
Adrian Geach, who has been a signwriter since 1980, told Bored Panda in a previous interview that, "a good sign should be eye-catching, easy to understand and not too wordy with enough negative space around the text or logo, and have a good color scheme."
Geach lives in Wales but can take his brushes anywhere to work on a project. He left school at 16 to undertake a five-year signwriting apprenticeship and said he was lucky enough to be taught by three master craftsmen steeped in the skills of a brush and a pot of paint.
After learning the trade, Geach set up a signmakers business specializing in exhibition and display graphics and embraced the new vinyl and large format technology that was just coming to the forefront.
No Bears?
Totally agree. Smokey Mountain bears are not afraid of people. Some will even walk up to you so quietly you don't even know they are there. Had that happen at Gatlinburg while sitting outside a hotel. I shifted the way I was sitting and was face to face with a bear.

It can be wrong in cities too. I remember being in an unfamiliar town and trying to find the highway I needed. Google Maps had me making several turns, which essentially had me circling several blocks, to get to the on-ramp. And no, they were NOT all one-way streets. One look at a paper map clearly showed a short—-and straight—-route to the same place, that would’ve saved me about 20 minutes and a probably half a gallon of gas.

I just had to submit an edit to Google maps. They mistakenly placed my neighbor's house in my front yard.
How rude of your neighbor to just take over like that! 😊😊😊😊😊

Google Maps has been unable to accurately map our last three homes, all in sub-sub-urban California locales but not really rural, not "the sticks". Garmin GPS *can* find our current home, but alas! directs travelers on rotten or non-existent roads. If we want someone here, we tell of or draw a safe route. Anyone else can get lost and stay lost. ;) Unfortunately, new UPS or DeFex (I mean FedEx) drivers get lost too often. Yikes.
I refer to the road I live on as 'my road'. It doesn't mean I own it, it just means I live there!

Adrian has been successfully involved in all areas of signage and graphics for decades but not that long ago, he went back to his roots and now concentrates on traditional signwriting.
With the current resurgence of interest in signwriting and hand-rendered work, he utilizes his skills to offer clients a more personal, unique, environmentally friendly, and organic signage solution using old-fashioned materials and techniques.
"A sign might only be looked at for a few seconds so it needs to leave an impression within this time frame, hence the less is more approach," he said.
"There are many factors to take into account when designing a sign but the most important thing is to make sure it doesn't get lost in its surroundings," Geach revealed.
Sign Recently Erected In My Neighborhood
My cat grew up outdoors but in his older age, he's slowed down, so I have to keep him inside more. He's always bored now
I dont know why you got downvoted for watching out for your elderly fella, so heres an upvote to equalize
Load More Replies...As a young adult, I let my first cat go outside because that’s what we had done my whole young suburban/semi-rural life, but after she disappeared shortly after that, I didn’t have cats for a long time, but when I did get one, I didn’t let him out no matter how much he tried to convince it was the way these things worked, and he lived to be 16 years old, which included four years when he had diabetes…which he later outgrew—something people can’t do. My next cat was one I inherited from some friends, but I had known her my entire life, and when we were roommates during the Petrushka years, their cat Vera was the baby of all six cats (two of which were mine), and all she ever wanted was for me to make a lap for her to climb into. Now, I’m friends with my neighbor’s dogs and visit with them through the front gate.
Load More Replies...Then. Keep. Them. In. The. House. Domestic cats don't need to hunt, ffs. And they kill billions of song birds and small mammals every year. Your cat is a pet, not a bloody tiger.
My cat maintains that he is a tiny panther. However, he only stalks songbirds from the safety of his favorite window.
Load More Replies...Not all cats NEED to be indoors. When I grew up, we had a farm. We had barn cats to keep the mice out of our feed. Many farmers have barn cats. It depends where you live. I live in the city now, I have a cat. I take him out on a leash, but I'd never let him roam on his own.
That's a completely different situation from suburban people letting their suburban cats room free. When you have a barn cat, they have a regular source of food. They don't have to hunt native birds. They also stay close to the farm, and don't have to go into unknown places where they can run into predators.
Load More Replies...So are mine. That’s why they’re strictly indoor cats. They don’t realize it, but they’re safe and still alive because of it.
Yeeeeah keep your kitties inside. Obviously there are stray cats/cat colonies that you might not have control over, but keep your cats inside p l e a s e
I have no idea why you're being downvoted for this comment. Catios are a fantastic way to keep cats safe from the dozens of ways they can get injured outside, while letting them experience the outdoors. Also cat leashes for cats that will wear them. My cat walks on a leash and enjoys outings in his kitty backpack carrier. It lets him join us when we go outdoors, but keeps him safe from feral cats, coyotes, neighborhood dogs that roam, cars, and hawks.

Nice To See Some Pushback On Insane Parents From My Local Sports Complex
So many parents absolutely rely on sports as a college savings plan for their kids, and by the time the kid is ready for college, they are burned out on sports. College is supposed to be about education, lest we forget.
Had to remember some parents in kindergarden about that a few years ago - while there was a sack race between 4-5 y/o. Tough here (germany) sports aren't even connected to sholarships. ||| Exeption: that child is aiming for a career in sports. And then it would take great marks in school & outstanding performances in some kind of sports club --- fellow germans, correct me if I got it wrong.
Load More Replies...Let kids be kids and enjoy playing sports for the fun of it - even if they aren't very good, fun is fun, don't ruin it!!
I played little league baseball when I was 12. I was one of only 3 girls in the entire league. I wasn't very good in the beginning, but all the other parents cheered me on and any minor victory on my part was treated with standing ovations and cheers all around :) I have great memories of that.
Load More Replies...Can people who complain to the ref, coach etc and make a scene on the sideline, not see that it will, if anything, only reduce their kid's prospects?
My nephew is 10 and is amazing and baseball, but absolutely hates it now. His parents have completely burned him out from it. Hes constantly either playing a game or being made to practice.
I'm sure entitled parents still yell at everyone on behalf of their precious angel.
When my son played basketball, there was on young man that was very good. His father would rage at him from the stands. Telling him what to do, screaming when he didn't. He was horrid to his own son. The guy got kicked out several times. I used to dread seeing him walk in, I don't know why they just forbid him from going. Not long after graduation the young man died from an OD. Such a horrible loss.
Load More Replies...Reminds me of a story I read where there was no ref for a soccer game, so a 9 year old stepped up. A parent legit started screaming at the kid for a call they made. Like wtf. that is a child, you are f*****g full grown adult.
If that parent knew better, why didn't he step up???
Load More Replies...That's my city and my health network! Love the sign; it really speaks to the crazy parents who are living vicariously through their kids. Let the kids be kids and encourage participation and good sportsmanship instead of the "always have to win' mentality.

Load More Replies...Similarly, writing about signs that raise more questions than they provide answers, my colleague Jonas had a talk about common signage mistakes with Lisa McLendon who is the William Allen White Professor of Journalism and Mass Communications and the coordinator of the Bremner Editing Center at the University of Kansas.
"Don’t carve an error in stone. It’s embarrassing and expensive to fix. Proofreading before you produce, whether it’s stone or not, is absolutely necessary," McLendon said that we should take the time to look over our work before making any permanent decisions.
Lisa also noted that the font that we choose for our sign is incredibly important. "Choose your font with readability in mind. It should be clear and readable at a distance; you don’t want to make people puzzle through a swirly script," she said.

For another Bored Panda piece about editing, proofreading, and kerning—the spacing between letters—McLendon said that word placement, typeface, and kerning are also crucial for effective, professional-looking logos and layouts.
"If it's just a few words, all-caps is fine, but it’s harder for people to read longer blocks of text in all caps. It’s also harder for people to read italic or highly stylized type, or type along a curve instead of a line,” Lisa then explained.

Load More Replies...Sign Posted In Every Booth At A Thai Restaurant In Fargo
I can handle some real spicy food but thai food is on another level. I've been to a place to had a 1-10 scale and i could barely handle 5.
One of the first time I went to a thai place I asked for "medium" spice and I had tears rolling down my eyes
Load More Replies...No longer? Should never have offered refunds for that in the first place. If they can't take the heat, they should've stayed off the plate
I went to a Chinese restaurant one time and ordered the stir fried chicken w/ long hot green peppers, the waiter kept asking me if I was sure it’s spicy, I told him what country I’m from and our food is always spicy, he asked me 2 more x’s before the food came out that it was not too late to cancel, when it came out the green peppers were indeed spicy but nothing I’m not used to, delicious 😋
I have never really been able to eat spicy food, even as a child. However, my father and older brothers just loved hot and spicy food. I remember this one time my family went to eat at a Chinese restaurant, when I was about 10 or 11, and I tried a little bit of Chinese mustard, not knowing it was hot. I remember it was initially tasteless in my tongue, so I swallowed it. THAT’S when the hot and spicy kicked in, and it burned like a four alarm fire all the way down my esophagus and into my stomach! I was in agony, and the waiter was told to bring me a huge glass of milk to try to mitigate the unbearable heat in my cauterized throat and stomach. Needless to say, I strictly keep to my mild tastes, and now always ask if something is spicy BEFORE ordering or even thinking of tasting it.
Me neither. My stomach is fine with spice but my mouth cannot handle hardly any.
Load More Replies...I always ask for the mildest level and rely on an honest answer. I avoid some places now because some people's 0 is my 5.
Most places are 1-10. I ordered a 3 once, and it was the hottest thing I ever ate. turns out they had a 1-3 scale.
I made the mistake of ordering the food marked "spicy" only once during a 4 week Thailand trip. I cried. And even the salad dressing was spicy!
The hottest dish I ever attempted to eat was a Thai papaya salad. I thought I'd gone blind.

Sadly necessary for the hard of thinking who don't get that the 'outside' has 'outside issues'
Ask for a cup with a cover, and keep an eye on your food. When you’re finished eating, cover your plate with a napkin and set your silverware over it so it won’t blow away. My husband is in pest control and has told me there’s only so much a restaurant with outdoor seating can do about this. The odd ant, bee, or fly will still manage to get through any barrier, chemical or otherwise. It’s just going to happen, and pest control measures can only reduce the volume of bugs getting through.
I know people who will argue against that sign 🤐 It's not fun eating with those types of people
Yes! I worked as a server, and the restaurant had patio dining, and people would be like bug here, but this, fly in my beer. Luckily, I had a decent manager, at least when it came to things like this, and he would just say, hey, dine outside at your own risk. Their are bugs outside!! Eat inside if you don't want to mess wiht it
Reminds me of an old joke. Three men, one from Edinburgh, one from Aberdeen and one from Glasgow are all drinking outside together when a fly lands in each of their drinks. The man from Edinburgh tosses away his drink. The man from Aberdeen tosses out the fly and keeps drinking. The man from Glasgow pulls out the fly and shakes it shouting "spit it out ya wee bastard."
Furthermore, Lisa pointed out that we should look at all the ways in which our words could be misread or read out of order if they’re circled or stacked on top of one another.
If the kerning happens to be too tight, some of the letters could merge into different symbols and result in some (hilariously) embarrassing misreadings.
One example of this is writing the word ‘FLICKERING’ in all caps. If the kerning is too tight, the 'L' and the 'I' merge into a 'U' and you get... That's right.

Load More Replies...Like 10 years ago my mom was looking for a new house for us. We checked out this one please me and my two brothers my mom and the owner and the first thing he said when we walked in the door was "it's not haunted". There is no prompting from us whatsoever, that was very strange and out of the blue. Many things were uncertain but one thing we all knew for sure. That that guy was trying to rent us a haunted house 👻
In some jurisdictions (I think New Orleans, possibly all of Louisiana), realtors are required by law to inform potential buyers whether a property is reputed to be haunted. Don't ask me why there's a law about that, I just know the sign isn't there because the realtor felt like it.
As I understand it, in Louisiana (and particularly New Orleans), houses for sale regularly list whether or not they are haunted on their "For Sale" signs. It's actually seen by some people to be a perk of a house for sale if it is haunted. I believe this ties back into Voodoo beliefs. (In New Orleans, Voodoo or New Orleans Voodoo is a well established religion.)
Of course, you can always get a professional to do it. In fact, for the past few years, many places have been witnessing the revival of the handpainted sign.
Fed up with the chain culture that is slowly making all the streets look the same, city shops are trying to stand out with custom designs.

I high school, our track uniforms had pockets on the inside of the shorts, in the front. Many a McDonald's meal was paid for with shorts money.
When I worked at Starbucks there was a lot of boob/crotch/mouth money. Sweaty money is gross.
ok but bra money is because we never get pockets that are useable. give us pockets!

Load More Replies...That's so gross. If you think about it, even the money we carry around normally and receive normally likely has a past of being concealed in a less than sanitary environment.
One summer I worked at a gas station/RV park/ice cream place/outfitter/restaurant/anything that makes money, and it was next to a popular lake; we had this same sign. Even though we had this sign, we still had a clothes line behind the register to dry out money. Fun fact, money will mold super fast. Anyone that doesn't wash their hands after touching money, has never seen a stack of 1's grow a layer of grey fur like a mouse in 48 hours.
I worked for TSA for five years (very happy to leave that wasp’s nest of right wing paranoia), and had to do pat-downs as part of my duties. Before a pat down, the person is supposed to divest everything, including stuff like boob money, because it will be detected and, if they don’t remove it to show it isn’t a weapon or anything, they risk being taken aside for further questioning, meaning they’ll not only miss their flight, they’ll also be flagged as uncooperative. ***Note: Before I left TSA, there was talk of doing what I thought were way too invasive pat downs, meaning more time spent on private areas. While I realize those are prime spots for concealment, I voiced my objections to the invasiveness of them, since the vast majority of people will, to be concealing anything anywhere, including there, and we will be unnecessarily touching people in embarrassing ways (embarrassing for them and most of us, or at least me). Giving voice to that opinion did not make me popular. I had already put in my notice anyway, so never had to do it. I just hope public outrage made them drop that idea really quickly.

Very confusing signs. "Cats past here"? So not allowed in, or not allowed out? "Can not get out", because it would be dangerous, or can not get out, as in they get stuck in there and should be on this side?
Good way to get the cats adopted, though. Near me there’s a no-kill animal shelter on land that was donated to it long before a golf course was built next door, and I mean close enough golfers can hear all the barking. The shelter says that so many animals have been adopted by people golfing, who went to check out the source of the noise, that they’re now happy to share a property line with the golf course.
You Have To Wonder What Happened To Make This Sign On Your Door A Necessity
My phone number used to be the number for an auto repair shop. I kept telling callers this, but some of the same ones kept calling. Then one day, I just started saying "Come pick it up at 2 pm." That seemed to work well.

The Fact They Even Needed To Put This Sign Up
When cemeteries were planned out in the 18/1900s they were designed as park areas to hang out, have a picnic and such.
I love walking through cemeteries. I always have as far back as I remember. My grandfather used to have to find new cemeteries take me to check out as a kid. But I've always been extremely respectful. I like the fact that they are nice and quiet and I like to read the headstones and try to imagine what happened to the people before me.

Until I lost someone I loved so much, I didn't understand that and thought their "celebrations" were disrespectful but I've come full circle! I was wrong. Sure, grief and silence is part of the loss, but moreso there is a joy in remembering them and sharing these new things - like butterfly releases and horse and carriage rides - with my daughter, their granddaughter, who can think of death in not a scary way like it had been but in a loving happy way. My mom even said when she picked her grave what a nice spot it'd be for a picnic! And people do at mothers day.
As someone who will work in the death industry (mortician) I personally don't think its disrespectful to do this. Your loved ones may still want to be part of a family "day out" event etc. I think its kind of sweet. Of course, you must pay respect to others who are grieving of course though, so I think I do understand this rule in regards to how others may feel about it.
This is really going to put a dent in the Day of the Dead celebrations, and different people show respect in different ways. Not that the dead need it, they're dead, but we're still alive.
I don't agree with this. Depending on your culture and where you are from, spending the day with family and your loved one is normal. It is not crazy to see family with lawn chairs playing music and eating.The cemetery near my mom's house shows movies during the summer. After Prince died, a memorial was held at the Hollywood Forever cemetery. After we watched Purple Rain projected on a wall, Questlove dj'd (deejayed?) and everybody danced. The lasers and fog from the fog machine looked amazing within the headstones. I like to think that the folks resting there were so happy.
Every Warning Label Has Its Story

I'm so glad they made this sign! I have seen many oreo cookie monsters roaming the aisles and they're a real pain in the butt to deal with.

Gas Booster...what an interesting energy drink. Propulsion, perhaps?

When You Thought You Look Cool But You Look Like A Garbage Can
Then quit making sh1t that looks like other sh1t. I would definitely think this is a trash can.
I mean, it does say BOSE on it pretty prominently.
Load More Replies...They should put a grill or screen over that speaker. It's not that complicated
I mean... I'd know this is a speaker cauz it says BOSE on it, but that's only because I'm familiar with the brand, some people might not be
I'll definitely throw trash in there, it doesn't look the least bit like a speaker
One time I was walking with my daughter around our neighborhood and I shove my head in a trash bin. I thought it was one of those 'telephones' that would allow me to talk to her if she shove her head in another trash can. After laughing for a good 5 min she told me her preschool teacher did exactly the same thing!
I guess the huge Bose logo right on the front wasn't enough of an indication for people to be making that mistake.
If Bose is a name you are allready familiar with. My sister og mother would not know, that it is a speaker firm. And Bose should not expect that everyone knew them as such.

Load More Replies...Is It Saying I Should Help The Hitchhikers?
Lol, they usually have other signs also, that will say things like, do not stop your car along the road side for the next 15 miles due to *insert prison name here* and possible escaped inmates. I've seen it many times in Tennessee,Kentucky, and Mississippi.
Load More Replies...Exactly. That is why the sign is asking you to help them :)
Load More Replies...Attention non-inmate hitchhikers: Drivers picking you up may be escaping inmates.
Not a good idea to pick up hitchhikers anyway, at least in the US. Just note their appearance (approximate height and weight, hair color, facial features—-if you can—-clothing, and anything else that makes them stand out) plus the mile marker number (those little green signs with numbers on them), and call the state troopers to help them, or deal with them. If it’s a case of a broken down car, most people will have already called for a tow, but backing that up with a call to the troopers is a good idea anyway, in case the car owners don’t have a cellphone or the battery’s dead. Accidents should, of course, be called in immediately when you come upon one in a remote area (and there are plenty of those in the US). Basically, just think a minute. What if that hitchhiker isn’t just an innocent tourist who has unwittingly chosen a risky way to get around? What would you would want others to do if you were stranded or in an accident? The answers will come to you quickly and easily. (It’s called critical thinking.)

My daughter just had an experience when she went for a job at a little hotel in Brighton... Red flag 1: Hiring loads of people for immediate start. Red flag 2: Performance related pay...it was a housekeepers role. Red flag 3: 'Don't ever call in sick' was said during her interview. Red flag 4: 'I'll try to pay you on time...'

None of these here in Southern Italy except for the two or three in main cities that have them for the tourists. WE all collectively boycotted the one or two who did manage to open including the macdonald and they soon closed.
The burger king and subway in my town are still suffering from a labor shortage. They close and open at random times during the day. Yesterday bk didn't open until 2pm and then closed again at 6:30 for the rest of the day.

What Made Them Have To Put This Sign Up?
Yep. When it started many churches were pokestops. A lot of churches have attached cemeteries so there was a problem with Pokemon literally appearing on graves. Churches now can control whether they show up in the game and can designate stop locations (ie by the statue of the 10 commandments. 100 yards
Load More Replies...Pokémon Go actually caused an "emergency city by-law" meeting because some people were leaving trash everywhere, interrupting burial services in the cemeteries, going on private property and into people's backyards, and just causing problems. The by-law was basically just the "no trespassing" by-law, with steaper fines, so the police had a way to respond
I was thinking “this can’t be true” then I remember my FIL’s grave is right next to a gym in Pokémon GO.

The regulations worldwide are usually based on placing an approximate of a small child alongside the railing/barrier/guardrail and seeing wether they fall through it for compliance. The real reason for this is not because the local authority has heartfelt human concerns for the safety or certain death of your wandering infant but that in nearly all instances they the Authority are legally LIABLE for any ensuing accidents no matter how long ago it was before compliance eroded.

S**t on the toilet seat, p**s all over the floor and God knows where else. Not even Vox got out all the rancid smell. The women's washroom was the easiest to clean.

We actually had problems with this at our Elementary school where I taught. We had international kids moving in all the time. Some did not know how to turn on a light or what a potty was for. They pooped on the floor or against the wall...yeah it slid down. A janitor finally caught who it was and we had some extra life skills lessons to teach.

My guess is that it is rosemary, and they do not want dog pee on it.
At A Museum Right Now. Wtf Prompted This Sign To Be Put Up?
This is dark but true. I had a relative who passed and had to have a closed casket funeral due to the nature of his death. The funeral home turned the casket reversed, with the hinges to the outside so people would not try to open it during visitation. THAT'S why the sign. It has happened before, many times.
But that shouldn’t be the case at a museum, you wouldn’t expect to find bodies in the caskets there
Load More Replies...This casket is showing different varnishes though.... I'm certain it's just a display. A body would not be in a museum to rot.
Hence the term "Talk about - lifting the lid of a coffin" when talking about the Rolling Stones and other pensioner pop groups appearing on stages at concerts worldwide.
That's a sample casket, it shows the various steps of finishing it goes through. Probably don't want people touching and opening it with their sticky, greasy fingers.

Never heard that before. Do they call it that because that's what you should say before getting on?
Load More Replies...I don't understand how that's possible. The doors wouldn't close if there was an object in their moving range or at least they would push it away... Unless it's a door-less elevator, which is incredibly dangerous in itself...

The Fact That They Need This Sign
Why waste the toe jam when you can make PBJ with it?
Load More Replies...There is a reason for this: Muslims. For most folks, they aren't really aware that Muslims tend to need to wash their feet/arms/hands as a method of purification. And yes, they use the toilet to do this, and no, I do not say this with any irony.
Specifically, before praying, so if you're at work and pray several times a day you may have to wash your feet in a shared bathroom. Happened at my work a while back and it took us a while to figure out why the floor was always wet yet no basilisk had appeared.
Load More Replies...Why did anyone down vote those pointing out some cultures need to wash feet? I worked in a UK school once with quite a few Muslim women. During one festival, they had to wash feet during the work day. So they were left with the unpleasant choice of using a toilet or very very dangerous job of trying to use hand sink.
They Actually Had To Post A Sign
Just In Case You Still Had Any Faith Left In Humanity
I used to work at Menards. There was indeed spray paint sprayed on the white shelves in that isle by people testing the cans. :/
Why oh why on these posts , is it spelled isle instead of aisle. Isle = island
Load More Replies...I just bought a can of spray paint at my local craft store, took it home and went to start my project the next night and discovered that there was no nozzle. I drove all the way back to the store thinking I’d have to plead my case for a refund only to learn that they purposely remove the nozzles so that people can’t test spray. The woman who sold my can just forgot to replace it. Huge inconvenience for the customer, but at least their aisles are clean…?
Lowes puts a big roll of brown paper in the spray paint aisle for people to test paints on. More affective than a sign. If people are going to do it, give them a way to do it where it doesn't cause any harm. Should be the motto of any rule
in home depot, theres always an isle that has spray paint on the walls, shelves, floor and other surfaces.
Great. Now I got that menard's ad jingle in my head. I haven't heard it in over a decade.
How Does It Get This Bad?
Last week at work I I slipped n a pile of fresh feces in the dining room of the restaurant I work at while carrying several plates. Little background first. ~My boss always brings her young kids into the restaurant. They are VERY disruptive. They run around, climb, pour drinks on the floor, spontaneously sit at customers tables. They're wretched obstructive brats. Just to be clear, I know it's not their fault, it's the parents, who are disgusting people, rotten to the core. I walk out, slip on 💩, but before I knew that I wiped what I thought was pulled pork, and whatta know! S**T. One of the owners came out and started laughing. I said "Oh don't worry I'm fine'🤬 'But why is their s**t there?!' Her response... 'He does that sometimes. He just wants attention, we just ignore it.' and strolled off. WTF!! You absolutely can not punish him, but that issue needs to be addressed by a mental health professional. So, I had to leave obviously, but I lost money cuz of it. It's 30 min each way

Wow, when i was like 5 i thought the toilets display were actually toilets and that we could use it.
