England is Rad

The Warrington Bank Quay Station in northern England has done one of the most amazing things I've seen in a long time. They've put up a sign to discourage people from kissing each other good-bye outside the train station. I guess this has become such a big problem that it's holding up other commuters.

This is just an example of how oblivious people are of others. I don't think there's anything wrong with saying good-bye to a loved one, but obviously people must have been taking this to the extreme if they had to put up a sign banning such public displays of affection.

Wouldn't it be awesome if we could just make up signs discouraging people from doing all the things that annoy us? I wish they would put up a similar sign in front of the Bellagio so that people wouldn't get out of their cars in the middle of traffic to take pictures of the fountains. Look, I know the fountains are gorgeous to look at. But there's a time and place for everything, and getting out of your car in the middle of the street is NOT that time and place!

And of course, I would also put up a no-men-in-spandex sign in the gym. I could actually make up a lot of signs for what not to do at the gym ...
