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.

I constantly seethe with rage at those that speed through stop signs in my neighborhood. As a bike rider I find people who are unpredictable in extremely heavy, fast vehicles to be a hazard. To show my appreciation to those that do stop in my neighborhood I traveled around with a large sharpie in one hand, masking tape in the other, and my laptop (camera) tucked into a backpack and left thank you signs on stop signs.

"But you didn't really make a thank you sign, Ty!" some may say. I like to think that I altered the signs into their current form, making them what they are today.

One of the signs.


STOP, Thank you

STOP, Thank you

Imagine me hefting my laptop over my shoulder and trying to catch sunlight in the pinhole camera while cars pass.

And those signs are better for it.

You should upgrade that to a larger "THANK YOU" made of the same white retroreflecting foil some time. :)

Great sign editing.
