Someone RIPPED DOWN my sign and THREW IT AWAY.

UPDATE: It had been thrown away and replaced a total of THREE times now.

Oh no. You REALLY didn’t.

Probably the same f*cker who stole it in the first place, eh??

2 Jenny 3.26.2008 at 1:46 pm

THATS WHAT I THINK.

wtf? That’s crazy…

DUDE! that’s BS! what a f*cker!
how about you email it to everyone?

What you have here is a sign thief AND a ring thief. Two thiefs!!!

Maybe it’s the Apple Dumpling Gang!

But seriously, I’d print up a couple more signs, leave one at the front desk because the reception people see EVERYONE that comes in and out and they can look for the ring on the hands of the people coming in.

I’d put one sign in each bathroom, EVEN the guy’s bathroom. They’re even better scouts because we look for rings before we chat with girls. They never stop us, but the appearance of rings helps us adjust expectations.

And I’d email a jpg of the sign to human resources.

Then I’d get a snack, eat a coffee cake, take bath, take nap.*

*Yes, those lyrics should be familiar to John Wall. I interviewed Coulton last week and am pitching the story to a few publications. Outstanding. I recorded the whole thing if you want a listen. Not for public consumption though. Email me.

Ugh…why do people have to suck so much?

Dude someone is totally screwing with you. Do they not realize your internet footprint and all the bad exposure they could get? They are messing with the wrong Jenny. I say you start a “Fair is Fair” Billy-Jeanesque campaign to recover the stolen ring.

That’s bordering mental illness. Why would you be so crazy? (Not you, but the “you” who is the person removing the sign.)

I hope you replace the sign as often as it’s removed.

Ridiculous.

Oh Hai-ll no they didn’t! You can put up a new sign with my face on it and tell them I’m going to fly over there and kick some fork-ring-stealing ass.

I will totally get you another one, but I have a feeling they are mostly one of a kind, and yours was AWESOME. Hosers.

you need a nanny cam stat!

11 Jenn 3.28.2008 at 2:33 pm

Is this happening during the day? There’s no chance that overnight the building cleaners are throwing it out, is there? Because they’re probably supposed to do stuff like that. I assume it’s getting ripped down during the days by some ring-stealing bi-atch.

12 Jenny 3.28.2008 at 3:33 pm

No it’s getting ripped down during the day.

13 Z. Hendirez 3.28.2008 at 10:03 pm

Sadly, I think it’s that you mention it’s made of a fork. At that point, people may take it less seriously and someone other than the thief takes it down.

(in two of the three cases. The thief totally did it at least once)

14 Jenny 3.29.2008 at 9:59 am

Yeah but it’s not a FORK. It’s a RING. And even if it was a fork, or eyeglasses, or a PEN, it’s still mine not theirs. It shouldn’t matter what the cost or material is – it’s still stealing. These are freaking adults in the work force acting like this.

You need to camp out in that bathroom, hiding on top of a toilet so that dumb-dumb can’t see that you are in there!
