They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But we can also invert this popular phrase. As the subreddit r/trashy has shown time and time again, a few words can be worth a thousand pictures as well.

Collecting evidence that suggests the human race might be degrading, the members of this online community have spotted plenty of evocative signs. Like the one saying, "Sunbathing and barbeques are not allowed in the cemetery. Please show respect." Or another, stating that "We don't spit on your floors. Don't spit on ours."

The mental images they put in your head... There must be so many monsters walking among us!

    My Neighbors Who Took A Delivery That Didn’t Belong To Them

    BasicBaby Report

    Todd

    Might not have been their fault. I once took a delivery they didn’t belong to me. The package of food from a restaurant had no address on it. I called the restaurant who wouldn’t tell me who ordered it nor would they send the delivery people back to deliver it properly. There are tons of townhouses here and I wasn’t going to go door to door knocking. I was alone with 3 small kids. So I let them eat it. Was good sushi. Eventually it seems the person who ordered it got my address from somebody because she came by asking for her food. I felt bad the kids already ate it and was pissed the restaurant or delivery company gave out my address. She was annoyed but I really did what I could to get the food to the right place. I just had no way of knowing who it belonged to. The restaurant actually told me in no uncertain terms not to take it anywhere as it’s a liability to them when this happens to have strangers take a delivery of food then redeliver it.
