Everything Needs To Go

There is a sale going on, and everything must go! We can’t help but wonder when they say everything, whether that includes the cheating husband. There are plenty of garage sales in any given year, but this must be the most savage. Make sure to step right up if you are interested in any of his items!

Only Girl Scouts Are Allowed

We bet you also dislike nosy neighbors. This person knew their limits, and we are happy to hear that this is the case. You better come prepared if you want to knock on their door. It is a good idea to have a box of Girl Scout cookies with you if you want to bother them with anything at all.

You Might Have Better Luck

This person tried his best, but in the end, they decided to give up. Oh, well. For every single one of us, perhaps a healthy lifestyle is not possible. We are glad that, at the very least, they are generous! They knew that even if it did not help them become less fat and lazy, this equipment might help someone else.

The Most Savage Sign Of Them All

From this list, what we are learning is that you should never cheat on your wife. If she is a homeowner, this is especially relevant. We see that this woman has had enough of her husband, Linnie. She did not hesitate to let the world know the names of the people with whom he had cheated on her.

Like A Dog Warning But Better

We all want home security systems, but it’s not cheap to get these things. The good news is that you can ward off intruders in a cheaper way. All it takes is a little creativity on your end. Well, if you have a gun with you, it may also help. This is certainly much more frightening than traditional dog warnings.

The Meme Dream

You shouldn’t be so quick as to dismiss memes. It turns out they also come with a great deal of power. Not only do memes make us laugh, but they can also serve as the best ads for a garage sale. If you want to get rid of your old things in the future, you may want to follow this method.

A Note From The Realtor

When buying or moving into a new house, there are many things to consider. Whether the house or apartment is haunted would be one of the greatest concerns. After all, after moving in, it can’t be easy to deal with a haunting. How amazing is it that this real estate agent was thinking of putting this up?

Just Being Honest Here

Folks, it turns out you don’t need to choose a side. Even before the results came out, they had already given up a long time ago. Clearly, during the 2016 elections, they were hoping that someone else would run for the presidential post. We’ve got to say they weren’t completely wrong.

You Messed With The Wrong Person

We don’t know about you, but there’s something that tells us about this sign that you wouldn’t want to mess with this neighbor. The homeowner served in the Marines and knew his rights might have to do with it. Clearly, the thief should have simply ignored the Mitt Romney yard sign and left it alone.

Vote For Zombies

When all the candidates suck, what are you going to do? For this guy, zombies would be the answer. This is a funny sign that truly makes us wonder how this state has come to the government. It’s only a matter of time before zombies rule the world, so we might as well take this chance to let them do so.

Opinion Not Shared By Everyone Else

The wife and children wanted to clarify some things, as you can see from the sign on the right. They just wanted passersby to know they were not sharing the patriarch’s political opinion! It is quite funny that his sign was not completely taken down. They left it up, but to clear things up, they put a new one up.

Smoking Is Not Allowed Here

Well, we’ve got to say that this is the first time this method was seen. This bad habit is clearly not tolerated by the people who live here. At the very least, they have decided to alert people to what they plan to do. You can’t say if this ever happens to you that they didn’t give you a heads up.

Follow The Rules

If you would like to take a dip in this pool, there are several rules to follow. You’re not allowed to run in there, jump, or pee. Although they are strict about horsing around, hearing that they have no problems with skinny dippers is amazing. This is the best venue for your pals if you want to throw a pool party!

Mind The Elderly

It’s a good thing that older adults will finally get their own signs. To let people know about the needs of its senior citizens, the neighborhood tried a new method. Not just are these new designs witty, but they work as well! This way, drivers will be reminded that it might take more time for older people to cross.

First Line Of Defense

There is nothing more entertaining than seeing your neighbors face it off. After someone called the homeowner’s policy, this guy got many birds to keep the yard safe. They may not be alive, but that’s a good sign that this man isn’t just going to sit down and let you step over them.

Looking For His Turtle

This is not a sign for the yard, but it is as funny as the other ones on the list. Where could their pet turtle go with the nunchucks? If this happened to us too, we would be very concerned. We all know, however, where he is. The animal probably went with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to the sewer.

Baby Got Back

We like big sales, and we can’t lie. The yard sign was written on nothing fancy, but with its reference to Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “Baby Got Back.” In our minds, there is no doubt that this smart move made individuals check out their offerings. A sign such as this is difficult to resist, in all honesty.

Show Us The Free Beer

That is how you make a foolproof sign for your garage sale to advertise! There is no way you can turn down the offer of free beer, after all. However, we just hope that the person behind this keeps their promise. We are sure that if people drop by and don’t get free alcohol, they will be disappointed.

Vote For Rum

What a clever idea. If anything, you should do something to show that someone offers you a sign that you do not completely agree with. This man was wise enough to do it for them. Which side you’re on doesn’t matter – you’re probably agreed that it has a great message. With rum, it is hard to go wrong!

Another Marketing Genius

Who would have thought so many marketing geniuses were holding yard sales? Many individuals have turned to dumpster diving. However, the truth is that in search of goodies, it is not pleasant to scrounge around the trash. It’s better to find it clean somewhere, even if it’s a little expensive.

Desperate Times And Desperate Measures

People have said that honesty is the best policy. On the sign below, we can say that the person selling the yard believes in this saying. We have to say that we can relate to the feeling that has fallen into this. Oh, what would we give to check the things they have for sale?

Batman Says So

There were so many ways to let people know about your yard sale, and we would never have guessed. He chose to use a popular superhero. Some people will head over instantly just because there was Batman on the yard sign. We just hope they’ve got lots of comics and action figures on sale!

Nothing Like A Gorgeous Promoter

We all love romance, and it’s hard to tear our eyes off this gorgeous stud, dreaming of being swept up. If you want to catch all the women’s eyes and maybe a few men out there, this is a great idea. They were hopefully able to stop staring at the sign and walk over to the yard sale.

His Bad

He just wanted something nice to do for his wife. Unfortunately, it turned out he got it all wrong. We are glad that he has tried all in his power to clarify what really happened! However, in all fairness, he seems like someone who puts a lot of effort into anything he does. Props to this fellow.

Join Ryan Gosling

With memes in our books, there is no way you can ever go wrong. This is even truer when a hot guy is involved. You can bet that we will be too as long as Ryan Gosling is there. We love how it laid out all the important information pieces, aside from using his gorgeous face to advertise the yard sale.

History Taking Place

We all know how much individuals love landmark signs. They’re such a big attraction for tourists. We’re not sure why but people love to read about an event 500 years ago, right where they stand. Perhaps it is a way to make people feel like a part of history. Just imagine driving for hundreds of miles to get to your destination to see this sign. While it’s hilarious, after a long and exhausting drive, we can’t imagine we’d be amused by it.

Do Not Disturb

This is a charming way of asking individuals not to step on the grass. People are much more likely to listen to a sign like this than the classic ‘keep off the grass’ one. While it’s a bit passive-aggressive, in this case, we believe it works for the best and makes it all that much better. When they see this sign, what type of monster would even consider stomping on the poor grass? No sane person, that’s for sure.

Not To Brag, But

We don’t know why this guy felt the need to brag about using hand soap, but we’re all about self-love. This sign is, without a doubt, one of the most breathtaking that we have ever seen. Whoever wrote it went all out just to add their proud declaration to those amazing bubbles. We can’t help but admire all of the hard work put into it. We should also mention that washing your hands nowadays with soap is a priceless thing to do.

Somber Occasion

If it isn’t in your face, we don’t know what it is. Other than dentures and canes, we hope that this man has left something worthwhile behind. While we’ve never been to a garage sale or so, if we were, this one would be the one we could start with, so if you’re out in search of gold, head over to this guy’s house. Who knows what you will find in this place! Also, we have some questions but no answers about the phrasing of this sign, so…

Life-Changing

You can come across something now and then that is totally life-changing. Who would have thought that one of those things could be a yard sale? We can’t help but wonder what exactly makes it a life-changing yard sale. Is it the items that they sell? Social interactions, maybe? Maybe it’s more than that — something that we’ve never even heard of before? So many different possibilities exist.

Garage Thale

This is as creative as it gets, we must admit. The sign is to the point, simple. Not to mention, as soon as they see this sign, it’s an inside joke that many individuals will understand and love. Mike Tyson, the man on the sign, has a slight lisp for those you don’t know. While we don’t condone any speech impediments by making fun of people, this one definitely got a giggle out of us.

Not For Sale

Sometimes, telling them what they can’t have is the only way to get through to people and attract their attention. Prohibiting anyone in any way will only encourage them to do exactly what they are not supposed to do. To put it simply, it is reverse psychology. The owner of this building was clearly frustrated and decided to sell their building using a different tactic. They took a different approach instead of a simple ‘for sale’ sign.

Not For Sale

Not For Sale

Challenge Accepted

This is a sign that made us genuinely laugh. If someone placed a large sign reading “no signs on yard,” they should have known it would backfire sooner or later. In terms of retaliation, this is probably not what they expected, but we can’t help but respect whoever was responsible. The sass, the simplicity, and the vague threat to words were made so perfectly.

Holiday Spirit

Although most people like to get into the Christmas mood by hanging up decorations such as twinkling lights and snowmen and the like, it’s good to think outside the box and develop creative solutions when you’re tight on money. This is such an excellent way to get into the holiday spirit! This ‘for lease’ sign was expertly turned into a holiday card for everyone to enjoy as they walk or drive by the house.

Revenge Is Sweet

If your boyfriend leaves you and takes your dog with him as well, what would you do? Naturally, you get rid of all his stuff! What else must be done? You’ve got to somehow get something out of the situation. Also, what kind of individual steals the dog of another person? Only a monster would do a thing like that. We totally support this girl for selling everything her ex left behind for that reason.

Grandma’s Yard Sale

We don’t know why someone thought it would help, in all honesty, to say that their grandma was psychotic in promoting their garage sale. Maybe they know more about the yard sales sign than we do? Maybe there’s a secret we don’t know about? Or maybe her products are going to be sold at even lower prices since the grandma is unhinged? Perhaps, as a result, she’s received special items? Who truly knows? Not us, that’s for sure.

100% Honest

If there ever was a yard sale to go to, a going to jail sale is one for sure. You know for certain that they sell absolutely everything from clothes to jewelry and kitchen utensils. Because they want to, they’re not getting rid of everything. No, there’s no other choice they have. It’s a win-win classic situation. By doing this person a favor, you get to purchase things for the best bargains possible! It’s great all-around – besides, of course, the part of going to jail.

100% Honest

True Frustration

Everyone knows about the confused man’s meme by this point in time. It turned into a classic. This yard sale sign once more brought him back to life. It reveals how confused people at the yard sale are not buying everything. While we can’t know why individuals don’t buy everything, we can only guess that it’s because they are under par. Or perhaps people simply aren’t interested?

Truer Words Have Never Been Spoken

If you and your pet have ever been to a vet, you know that this is never an easy task. Your pet is always nervous, knowing that it usually means that it takes shots or, worse, cleaning their teeth. The anxiety turns to panic, which is not good for anyone, and stress. This sign was most likely made to take the edge off of going to the vet, but it wouldn’t do much for your pet, of course.

Keep Off The Grass

You’re most probably standing in front of a lush green, freshly-cut lawn if you ever see a ‘keep off the grass’ sign. But it’s not always the case. Sometimes the sign owner has more of a sense of humor than they, like this one, get credit for. We don’t mean to judge, but there doesn’t appear to be enough grass to warrant a sign in the first place if you ask us. All the same, it’s amusing and entertaining.

Keep Off The Grass

No Exchanges Or Returns

Many individuals put up signs advertising items such as yard sales or cars for sale. This is the first time we have ever seen someone put up a sign advertising their husband’s sale, though. That’s classic boomer humor, but it’s funny all the same. In the first place, we can’t help but wonder what caused this — we don’t know if we would want to buy someone’s husband if she gave him away. He must’ve done something terrible!

No Exchanges Or Returns

The Real Candidate

There’s nothing like a good meme to laugh at. So we couldn’t get enough of it if somebody turned this already incredible meme into the presidential lawn. One thing is sure – we’d certainly vote for President Keyboard Cat. All we want to know is who he would be vice-president now. After all, it’s a serious decision to make. Anyone who places this sign on their lawn should receive some sort of award.

An Eye For An Eye

There’s nothing worse than stepping on dog poop on your own lawn, we can confidently state. It’s something that can’t be forgiven, so we understand this couple who took some steps in the first place to prevent that from happening. We do have questions, though. When they say that their grandson will be sent to retaliate, do they mean a human child? A grown man? We need to know!

You Better Behave

When the local church even puts up a message that came directly from above, you know that times are tough. For this sign to be put up in the first place, we want to know what happened in this community. What could cause a drastic response like this? We bet that as soon as they catch sight of this sign, the neighborhood people behave better. As you can see, it’s rather stern.

You Better Behave

Keep It That Way

This sign was put up as a warning, but it can be difficult to tell at first glance. It takes a moment to understand what this sign actually says. For people to remember what you’re telling them, having a clear message is crucial. When you think about it, this ‘ool sign’ is rather amazing. While still getting the point across – once you read it – it’s creative and funny. Obviously, we agree with the sign — it’s gross.

Keep It That Way

Keep It That Way

Legal Warning

Everyone knows that there is a culture of suing people over every little thing in the United States. The series of events that will follow seem to layout this sign. This household also has a culture of not allowing individuals to access their private property. You have been warned that you may get hurt and that your defense will be useless in court. The only thing that will ensure you lose the case will be this very sign.

Legal Warning

The Best Country

This sign shows clearly why America “is the best country in the nation.” Not only is America a nation, but it’s the best country in the same country! Wouldn’t you agree, Groundbreaking? Props to those who have written this brilliant sign. However, one little note. Before writing another sign to put out in public, we would suggest they brush up on some geography…

Stolen Toilet

If you ask us, this pun is rather amazing. First of all, who was the brave one who could steal from a police station nothing but a toilet? We shudder to think about how the station officers will relieve themselves with no toilet from now on. They literally have nothing to go on besides these boys being clueless! Uh, get it? It looks like they’re going to have to resort to going for a little while in the woods.

Who’s Gonna Tell Them?

Do not hang any signs on this fence, whatever you do. This fence was not designed to place the signs on it. They can’t be held up physically. It looks bad, not to mention. This fence is not public property. Uh, wait. There’s already a sign on the fence. Would you like to look at it! That’s what we’re talking about as leading by example. All jokes aside, this fence seems to have belonged to someone who has constantly dealt with signs. Perhaps this was the only way to get through the issue? Hold onto your seat, this next story is totally startling…

Who's Gonna Tell Them

Who’s Gonna Tell Them

The truth is that he knew that he was to blame for it. He’s going to be the first one to admit he messed up. However, he did not expect that the neighbor would attempt to take advantage of an honest error. He booted his computer at a loss for what to do and used a search engine to look her up. He didn’t expect anything of use to be found, so he was shocked when he saw the incredible pictures. In the end, after what she made him go through, he was able to use them as proof to get his way and get back at her. What exactly did he find in the said photos?

His Life Was Monotonous

The story revolves around a young man named Kristopher Hess. He’s been getting into some sort of routine lately. He had been working 16 hours for a local security company, then heading home at 8 in the morning to catch up on sleep. This was almost how every single day went for him. When he was called by his best friend to say that he would be around for a few days, Kristopher was happy to break up the monotony of his days. Even though he was excited, during the visit, things went south.

A Break From Routine

Mark, his best friend from childhood, would be around for the weekend of Independence Day. Kristopher could not wait for his old pal to be reunited with him. That was why he was asking for leave at work! He didn’t want anything more than to spend as much time as possible with Mark. He also used his savings aside from this to ensure they would have a good time together. Both of those guys just wanted to kick back and catch up on snacks and drinks. Mark suggested, however, that they do something else.

How To Celebrate The Holiday

When the incident happened, it was a hot day. The area had not seen rain for more than two months by then. The two pulled some deck chairs up and began to chat with each other. A few beers later, a way to spice up the holiday was suggested by Mark. There was a twinkle in his eye and a sly grin as he indicated that they could set off “good ‘ole American fireworks.” Even though Kristopher was not fully into the idea, he decided to give in.

They Bought Fireworks

Kristopher checked if his dad was around before they proceeded with the plan. The answer was no, so he dumped his savings to buy the fireworks. Kristopher said, “To be fair, I have had nothing but bad experiences with fireworks, so I had no idea how this would be any different, we got home with the fireworks, and we laid them all out on the floor; Sparklers, Bottle Rockets, Cakes, and Roman Candles.”

It Was Fun While It Lasted

It felt like Christmas had come early as the two of them checked out their haul. Kristopher then asked, “Why don’t we mess around with some sparklers since it’s still not dark yet?” Mark was delighted, of course, to hear him suggest this. In the first place, this was what he had in mind. Unfortunately, not long after that, things went downhill for them! What occurred when the fireworks were set off?

It Was Fun While It Lasted

Nothing More Than A Huge Mistake

Two sparklers were lit by Kristopher: one for him and the other for his best pal. They both stared at the sparks that were tumbling down their arms. As they made tracers, drew patterns, and relived their fond memories of childhood, they waved the sticks around. They had no idea at the time that this was going to be the source of Kristopher’s headache. He later recounted, “One of the little sparkies from mine and my friends’ sparkler made contact with the ground and made two small fires…”

The Lawn Went Up In Flames

They hadn’t expected things would get out of hand. The backyard was, unfortunately, so dry that two small fires soon turned into a raging inferno. To their horror, the flames were also approaching the neighbor’s yard. Kristopher said, “I ran as fast as I could to grab the garden hose and quickly started spraying down the fire. It was no use. It was spreading faster than I could spray it.”

The Lawn Went Up In Flames

She Saw An Opportunity

Kristopher rushed to call 911 as his friend tried his best to put out the flames. It was, unfortunately, too late for them to do anything about it. The neighbor came out to help them extinguish it once the fire made contact with the flames. Kristopher was guilty, but because Patricia seemed to understand the situation, he felt relieved. But this hasn’t been the case. He even noticed, in fact, her sinister grin that had disappeared as soon as it came.

She Saw An Opportunity

After A Long Day At Work

His break was stressful, but he had no option but to go back to work after that. He was still feeling bad about what happened. It felt as though he was wasting his day off. He was more than ready to rest after he departed from work on the first day back. There was a surprise awaiting him, though, as soon as he got home!

After A Long Day At Work

After A Long Day At Work

Asking Him For Money

To his surprise, he saw Patricia’s two quotes. One was for $4,000, which was intended to pay for a new fence. The other was for six thousand dollars, which was supposed to replace the lawn. Kristopher didn’t have that kind of cash with him. Actually, after spending his last dime on the fireworks, he was all out. He showed his dad the quotes. After seeing that it was written in Microsoft Word and had no company name or logo, the old man told Kristopher, “Son, don’t you give that con artist a single dime.”

Asking Him For Money

Taking Matters Into His Own Hand

Aside from the amounts of money, she also added a note at the bottom: “I will also be having you pay my water bill for three months because the new yard will need lots of water.” Frustrated with what he had read, he posted, “Now the fence this woman had before was raggedy and falling apart. Her yard? Dead grass, weeds everywhere, never mowed it. Now looking at this paper, she wants a mahogany fence and a brand new back yard with flowers and trimmed hedges? I said, ‘I need to get an estimate myself. This doesn’t feel right…’”

Taking Matters Into His Hand

Using His Connections

Thankfully, one of his buddies worked as a contractor. According to this individual, the lawn was probably in bad shape, even years before the accident took place. With all the fire damage, however, they could not prove this. It was true that a fresh lawn, a mahogany fence, flowers, cut hedges, and more were needed for Patricia. Fortunately, Kristopher knew a person who was able to do all that at a reasonable price. He even asked the contractor to come over to check and give a quote for the place.

She Threw A Fit

The next day, the contractor went to the woman’s house. Before they could even inspect the damage, however, Patricia interrupted them. She was flailing her arms as she yelled, “I did not give you permission to get an estimate on my fence!” In which he replied, “The fence separates the property line, so it’s both of our fences.” Another clear sign she was panicking was that she had asked for help from the cops!

She Threw A Fit

Giving Her The Estimates

Kristopher stated, “She calls the cops on me for having a contractor, and they ultimately can’t do a single thing because I’m on my property.” The contractor quickly finished the estimate to a price of $1,200. This teenager has a lot of connections. While he was a grocer, Kristopher met a person who took care of lawns, and that person he could reseed the yard for about $800. On the ProRevenge subreddit, Kristopher wrote, “After I get these estimates, I give copies to the woman, and she is having none of it.”

She Made Excuses

By the time Patricia received the estimates that Kristopher sent her, she told him, “I don’t know these people, I don’t want them near my house. They’re probably really bad contractors.” Kristopher replied, “No, I know them personally. They are nice people and do great work.” Despite his attempts in trying to make her understand, she simply did not see it from his point of view and just closed the door on him.

She Made Excuses

The Last Straw

Kristopher said, “I ended up working a 16hr shift that night and got home at 8 am, and this woman comes knocking on my door at 9 am and demanded I speak to her, “I explained, ‘I would love to do this, but I just got home, and I have to be back at work in less than 5 hours. I need to sleep.’” Her response to that? “What kind of lazy jerk sleeps in until 2 pm?” Kristopher was done being pushed around by this arrogant woman.

The Last Straw

The Last Straw

Giving Her An Ultimatum

Continuing what he had said, Kristopher added, “At this point, I had about lost it and told her: ‘you can either accept my $2000 for my quotes or get nothing.’ She stood there for a while with her mouth open, but she accepted my offer and planned to meet down at the notary the next morning,” Kristopher drew up a contract for her as he thought that the finally saw some sense. He even gathered $2,000 to pay her for the work! Patricia however, had something else in mind.

She Stood Him Up

He got up the next day and grabbed the contract. He was thrilled that the ordeal would finally end! There’s nothing else he wanted more, after all, than to never talk to his wife again. He went to meet her at a notary’s office, but she did not appear until three hours later. “I get a message from her saying ‘I’m sorry the $2000 isn’t enough, I’m having my guys start work on this project, and you will be paying me the full price,’” he shared. After this, Kristopher knew that he had to come up with a different plan.

Waiting For An Opportunity

“After that, I did not say a single word to her, and I watched for a few months as these guys turned her backyard into an oasis, complete with a small pond, brand new Sod, flowers, the whole 9 yards,” he said. “Come to find out she had plans to remodel these things for a long time and was just waiting for the opportunity to go through with it.”

He Looked Her Up Online

It’s essential to take note that Kristopher was aware he made a huge mistake. He felt guilty that the yard had been burned down and he even wanted to make it up to her. But she tried simply to take advantage of him! He turned on his computer at a loss as to what to do next. He was shocked to see photos of her on a community page when he went on Facebook that they were both a part of. He was unable to believe what he was seeing. It seems like the reason she wanted more money from him was finally found.

The Photos In Question

Kristopher said, “She used her remodel funds to go on a trip to Hawaii. Do you know how I found out about this? She was bragging about it on the neighborhood Facebook group and didn’t know I was in it.” The photos were all there for everyone to see. The entire time, she had been drinking pricey cocktails in a luxury resort in Hawaii! She was chilling there with her girlfriends as he worked hard to pay her. After a long wait, he asked Reddit, “Are you ready for the revenge?”

“Now, four months after the fire and all the remodels, I get served papers to go to court for $10,300. At 18 years old, I have to hire a lawyer to work my case, when we finally do get into court, I lay everything out: the quotes, being harassed multiple times, not showing up after agreeing to a deal, not wanting me to get my quotes (required by law, btw), and her bragging about conning me out of money… and, I have proof of all of this.” Kristopher continued to share.

What The Judge Told Her

Kristopher talked about what happened in court. He shared, “The judge looked at her and said, ‘Ma’am with all due respect. You’re out of your dadgum mind. Not only did this young man tell the truth of what happened, but he also offered to pay you more than he was supposed to. Your lawn was already dead before the fire occurred, therefore;, he is only responsible for the fence of $1200. I will also deduct from this his lawyer fees.’”

Kristopher concluded the story by telling fellow Redditors, “She took a huge financial loss from this, not sure how much the Hawaii trip cost her, but she was in serious debt. She ended up having to sell the house because of it and moved into a smaller house. Haven’t heard anything from her since. To this day, I still do not use fireworks because we could’ve hurt someone. What I have learned through this, though, is its best to take responsibility for your actions from the gate.”
