I could barely contain myself from running inside and ripping the sign off the wall, and then poking the man in the face with his excess punctuation.

Here, here. Wotz wron wif des peeple? Evry1 knowz t’apostrohere iz 4 pleurals e.g. pie’s.
Whu iz teechin des kidz?
It’s the “Greengrocer’s Apostrophe”. They do that to all plurals.
My favorite mistake at the grocer’s is “Ten items or less”.
Oh, do I feel ya, sister. This stuff drives me mental. One day, you’re going to read about a murderous improper-apostrophe-inspired spree in the newspapers, and you can be a character witness in my defense.
aaaaack! that drives me insaaaaaane….
I am reminded of the good ol’ days when some restrooms used to have coin-operated locks on them. Pay a quarter and take a dump. Thus, a restroom COULD indeed have a customer.
I’ve tried twice to post a comment here, but I end up just shaking my head in disgust so that I can barely type. Alas, it’s not even on a white background, else I would recommend attacking the offending punctuation with correction fluid as instructed in “Eats, Shoots, and Leaves.”
Alas.
Are you me? Because I would tear my hair out if I saw that!
