INSTRUCTIONS: Whilst in Scotland, I couldn't help but notice that along the roadway, there were signs posted, simply saying, "Thank You". These signs were as regular as stop signs, or speed limit signs.
I asked my grandfather,"why are there Thank You signs posted?"
He replied,"Well, it's thanking us for driving safely. Also, if you can't read the sign, you're driving too fast."
He may have been telling the truth, but I preferred to interpret the sign at face value, like a bumper sticker that says, "Don't be a jerk." Just "Thank You".


Make a Thank You sign, and post it appropriately.
Thank you.

What should I be thanking someone for? Well, I do have a great deal of appreciation for those who take the time to read thank you signs. Especially if the sign is very difficult to read. Or those who take the time to read signs at all, especially if they have to go out of their way. Curiosity is a good quality to have, and worthy of appreciation, I think.

Posted outside my building: A very small sign with very small print that reads: "Thank you for your curiosity. It makes the world a better place!"

I stealthily staked out this location to see who might be curious enough to be a recipient of my thank you.

One large cup of coffee later, and the curiosity was severely lacking. Whereas I thought a high traffic time of day might be optimal, everyone seemed far too rushed to get to where they were going to take a moment for a bit of "hmm I wonder what that sign says."

It's still there, so I'll just assume that someone will read it eventually. If the elements aren't curious enough to destroy it first.

From far away, this sign is entirely unreadable...

From up close, readable: "Thank you for your curiosity. It makes the world a better place!"


Waiting: For Nothing.

Waiting: For Nothing.

The large coffee I consumed while staking out my thank you sign. Nada.
