It's actually supposed to be "end scene." But "and" sounds so similar and the meaning is indistinguishable enough that they are used interchangeably. "And" just implies "and end scene."
Also, you can say "aaaaand scene," but you can't say "eeeeeend scene" without sounding like a maniac.
Looks like they had awareness that the word was too big to write in original font size, they paused, wrote it sized to fit, then went back to original size.
This takes me back to when I had to always google how to spell definate when foruming. I'd always spell it definate. Or whose vs who's, is the apostrophe because its possessive or is a contraction??, would forget *everytime*
Just connect it to the word finite (i.e. not infinite), meaning something that has limits and is definable, so we can be certain about its (not it's) extent.
Exactly what I was thinking. We don’t know if there were other drafts but either way I wouldn’t be able to do this, I’ve tried in hs class presentations and never did I get it quite right.
Here's the power-user tip: It was a bigger piece of paper, they wrote what they wanted, then cut around it.
I've been doing this for years and people think I'm a human printing press.
Listen, any time I write stuff in markers, pens, what have you, I will probably write it a thousand times until I like it. I can’t speak for everyone else but that is my process. If I want it to look really nice I measure everything out.
Currently moving into a flat in Germany and the owner has a giant office copy machine in there.. we asked them if they would be moving it out and they seemed genuinely surprised we didnt want it!
If it's a bit older model, I would keep that thing, knowing it will still work if I look it weird and knowing that it can't become a large paperweight when the manufacturer decides.
Probably easier to keep that than to find someone that would be able and willing to print something for you when you will need it. Even if it's just once in 3 years.
Wait a minute, is this real? Do all Germans have laminating machines? Or you have to go get it laminated? You deliver the laminated note to the neighbor?
Would a laminated sign saying you can't reserve pool chairs be effective against Germans?
> Would a laminated sign saying you can't reserve pool chairs be effective against Germans?
Yes. Laminating gives you a +5 authority buff. Another +2 if you also sign the sign.
> Or you have to go get it laminated?
If you're serious about your signage then you can get an [entry level model of the most magnificent stationary item for about 30 dollars.] (https://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Laminator-Letter-Size-Laminating-TL902VP/dp/B008587M0K/ref=sr_1_4?crid=11Z1RMPPZRGCX&keywords=laminators&qid=1697982875&sprefix=laminators%2Caps%2C163&sr=8-4&th=1)
You prejudices against germans are appalling. First of all you need a permit. The clear foil around the paper is a sign of authority, if it is just a slide in foil thingy it has only temporary authority, rain and stuff...but laminated is for eternity.
I had to think about the reservation thing, yes ofc on what legal ground can you stand when someone removes your towel when there is a sign.
It's the best possible way to do it.
Laminator are fun to use, fact.
So you get to have a little fun, your rebuttle looks *way* more official. Its also more damage resistant, if they want to damage it they'll need to break out scissors.
At that point you're in their head, you made them resort to tools, and you know what?
YOU GET TO USE THE LAMINATOR AGAIN!
Man I wish I could speak german because I'm positive [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/aberBitteLaminiert/comments/17do8gy/falls_man_eins_%C3%BCbersieht/) is hysterical
In case of full garbage bins don’t leave garbage bags in the garbage room, please.
Edit: Context: the janitor was away on vacation and his replacement forgot to put the garbage cans out on garbage day. People couldn’t put garbage in the bins because they were full, so they left the bags in the garbage room. Janitor came back from his vacation and that’s when the signs showed up.

Being an asshole in a big city is how you get your shit fucked with. We had an asshole neighbor like that once and someone kept making break off keys and jamming their locks. The guy ended up having to break his lease because every day he’d come home and have to call a locksmith.
when i lived in paris someone threw a pétanque ball through one of my neighbors windows caus their kids would play in our hallway and make a mess. not saying thats justified (its not) but i never had to step over kids apple sauce trash again
Mind your own business.
Edit: folks, there is a difference between calling out bad behavior impacting the community (like this note did) and being a Karen.
My wife is 6ft and I’m shorter, which even in this day and age people find weird. Her favorite thing about NYC was that no one cared there. Love that city.
i grew up a stone's throw from the city and as a result i kinda hate it, but one thing i really appreciate is no one gives a fuck about you. it doesn't matter how weird you are, it's the city, they've seen weirder in the past five minutes. i appreciated the hell out of that as a youngish dude that needed a cane to get around
I feel that. I’ve got joint/nerve problems and when I was in my early 20s I’d need a cane on my bad days for long distance walks around the store. People pretty much shamed me out of it from weird looks, and stares of contempt. So I just stopped and just dealt with more pain. Doing a bit better now though. Helps I don’t work at a job that’s physically demanding anymore.
it's completely insane the shit strangers think is okay to say, just unbelievable till you experience it
i came up with a maximally offensive way of getting people to fuck off, if you're interested
We all make eye contact, the New York way is knowing the right moment to look away before it’s been too long
Edit: what is with all the stabbing comments in response to my comment?
Theory, "Unconscionable" isn't in italics.
They're writing with a chisel tipped marker and they're obviously upset. So they get to a word they totally know how to spell but it's also long and not frequently something they spell out and they don't want to undermine their outrage with a typo.
So they put the marker down and do a quick autocorrect check on their phone to double-check. Upon confirming the correct spelling they pick up the marker and spell it out carefully without noticing they're holding the marker differently.
After spelling it all out they adjust the marker back to a comfortable position the letters all fit back into the uniform flow.
Why do I think this happened? Cause it's totally something I'd do. Lol
I mean, I always automatically assume all these notes posted on reddit were written by the person posting it and taken down immediately after taking the photo...
**>When a neighbor knocks to let you know you're too noisy, you don't then go psychotic making more noise.<**
Honestly, going psychotic making more noise is the type of response that I would expect as the *New York Way*.
**EDIT:** It seems some are somewhat upset with this statement. It's sarcasm and meant for a laugh. And yes, part of the perception is based off stereotypes when New York City is portrayed in movies or television shows.
The picture people have of folks who actually live in NYC is shockingly different than the reality. I've been here 2.5 years, so by no means a New Yorker and it's easy to see that while neighbors aren't friends by any means, everyone is 1000% respectful of each other here
In general I find that people who haven’t lived in high density cities have really big misconceptions about that lifestyle. Being a loud neighbor in a city isn’t more acceptable than being a loud neighbor in a suburb; it’s less acceptable.
Not at all. We all got neighbors, pissing them off is a great way to ruin your own experience. Making more noise means making enemies of the whole floor too.
Say what you will, New Yorkers know how to not step on each other's toes. It's a vital skill to learn when you spend so much time around others. We might get mouthy with strangers - but you don't fuck around with neighbors.
"One Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor"
if there's a Billy Joel song about it, safe to say it's Classic NYC behavior lol
edit: it has been brought to my attention by my stupid brain that this is actually a Paul Simon song. Let this crow-eating edit be our bridge over these troubled waters.
literally. ive never lived in an apartment before so im still adjusting to some stuff now that im in a building. i live in a walk up and the whole building has just one washer and dryer. and no one has murdered each other yet. that’s impressive to me. at home i get into fights with my mom about the laundry and it’s just the two of us 😂
Exactly. I worked with a very flamboyant gay man for a few years. We eventually had to fire him for sexually harassing underaged male employees. Actually, he had been sexually harassing people for YEARS but he finally did it to someone who complained properly.
Ugh. Right? My biggest frustration is when a trans person is cringe on Twitter or something and all the transphobic people use it like they speak for the entire trans community.
Like, dude, trans people can be cringe and wrong about stuff too! Its just obvious how they treat all trans people like a monolith.
Yah turns out all groups of people have bad representatives and they are unfortunately usually the loudest. An individual is not locked in to every belief of some people in their group and should not be treated as such. All groups, all people.
I can hear the guy seeing this note going " the fuck is this" then reading it and throwing it away going " mind ya fucking business ".
What kind of noise was that guy making to illicit the response. I say that cause I've had some neighbors who were nut jobs and called in a noise complaint while I was asleep
Yeah, there is a lot of missing context here.
Some people's version of "too loud" is having a raucous party or banging each other so hard the headboard is slapping the wall.
Others people's version is "your TV is a little too loud"
I lived in apartments for 10+ years and I only once had to complain to a neighbor about noise because they were sitting out on the balcony just below me and basically yelling at 3AM.
Even then, I just leaned over the rail and asked if they could keep it down or move inside because I had work in the morning, and that solved the problem pretty easily
A non native New York transplant lecturing another about “the new york way” is peak New York
Its the city where people go to live out their own vision of what the city is and within a year or two are telling others about how the city works.
[REDACTED] Idk I’m trans and have a loud neighbor and have never brought up my identity when leaving them notes telling them they’re too loud 🤷🏻♀️
Edit: Actually I think it was a 3rd party sticking up for a trans person. In which case, props!
Yeah, my first thought was “what does being trans have to do with this?” But maybe when the neighbor went “psychotic” they threw in some anti-trans rhetoric. Or maybe this person is just a little off…
See the psychotic part to me seems to be referring to cranking up the volume.
As in whoever this is is calling them a psychopath because he decided to be a prick and make the volume louder.
This note is weird, it either comes off as a mashup of several problems this person caused related to transphobia combined into one note without making it clear that it's several things, or somehow this person being too loud equates to being transphobia.
Damn. I live in NYC and I aspire to the level of *privilege* that would allow me to stay in the same apartment for 20 fucking years instead of moving every year or two due to rent increases. But muh "New York Way."
Have to be incredible with the marker for that to be so consistent in letter sizing, straight lines and it all just fits.
look at that subtle colouring. the tasteful thickness...
Oh my god, it even has a watermark
Something wrong? You're sweating!

Lol, I always thought they were saying "End Scene". This was beautiful and I learned something new. What a great way to start my day.
It's actually supposed to be "end scene." But "and" sounds so similar and the meaning is indistinguishable enough that they are used interchangeably. "And" just implies "and end scene." Also, you can say "aaaaand scene," but you can't say "eeeeeend scene" without sounding like a maniac.
*Nice*
And the lettering is something called Silian Rail 😏
Very nice. Now let’s see Paul Allen’s handwritten sign
Look at that subtle white coloring.
Let’s see Paul Allen’s vaguely threatening letter to their neighbor.
Unconscionable is my favorite by a lot
Let's see Paul Allen's neighbourhood drama
Let's see Paul Allen's note
Tasteful thickness!
And the use of italic!
Not that it matters here, but which part of this is italicized?
“Unconscionable” is arguable “italics” since it’s a different font from the rest of it
Looks more like they stopped writing, googled the spelling and added the word at the end.
Looks like they had awareness that the word was too big to write in original font size, they paused, wrote it sized to fit, then went back to original size.
Yeah, looks like the same thing happened to "neighborhood".
This is why. I do it when I make balloon words
Surely more letters will fit in the same space... Big ass "B".
This is a comedians bit right? Wanna say John mullaney?
It's why I never write on posterboards. I either write too big or too small.
This takes me back to when I had to always google how to spell definate when foruming. I'd always spell it definate. Or whose vs who's, is the apostrophe because its possessive or is a contraction??, would forget *everytime*
No one tell them.
I had to reread it several times because I just couldn't believe it
[удалено]
Shhĥh
they best life
Just connect it to the word finite (i.e. not infinite), meaning something that has limits and is definable, so we can be certain about its (not it's) extent.
You're gonna cause confusion by including _definable_.
Most likely!
Might wanna start googling again.
Definitely
It definately took me a while to learn that word too.
I certainly don't change my word choice to avoid it.
I saw someone say there's a *finite* number of spellings for de*finite* and since then I've never gotten it wrong
What an excellent donkey bridge
You'd forget *every time*?
They learnt the New York way

As a german i can say if it's not laminated or in clear film it has no substance
Lamination. The German way.
I had not seen a lamiator since grade school until I moved to Germany. You can find them for sale in any store that has stationary
Currently moving into a flat in Germany and the owner has a giant office copy machine in there.. we asked them if they would be moving it out and they seemed genuinely surprised we didnt want it!
well yeah why tf don't you
If it's a bit older model, I would keep that thing, knowing it will still work if I look it weird and knowing that it can't become a large paperweight when the manufacturer decides. Probably easier to keep that than to find someone that would be able and willing to print something for you when you will need it. Even if it's just once in 3 years.
Takes up a lot more space than a printer though

Did Martin Luther laminate his *Ninety-five Theses* before nailing it to the church door?
If he did we would've avoided the 30 year war
maybe this is where the concern all stems from.

I have never imagined such acrimony until learning people take the time to laminate their neighborly rebukes.

Brilliant. I have a laminator at my shop. My guys put signs up all the time. Time to laminate them.

People in NYC are really accommodating, but expect the same in return.
unless youre on the 7 train. Then its "SHOWTIME"
If they ain’t hurting you, they ain’t hurting nothing
Mentioning you're from New York, which the author of the note worked in nicely.
i think the people living in the authors new york apartment building already knew
How do you know someone is from New York? Don’t worry, they will be sure to tell you.
Never feed them after midnight
Theory, "Unconscionable" isn't in italics. They're writing with a chisel tipped marker and they're obviously upset.

Same thing happened with "neighborhood". They're both the last words on their lines, so I think they just anticipated running out of space.
I misspell neighbour so often that my phone autocorrects to the wrong version.
I think they just wrote smaller so it would fit on the same line
Yeah, MaadMaxx there overanalyzed that to death. Long word fit better on page smaller 👍
Why write lot word when few word do trick?
Just like neighborhood
I just think they were trying to write as small as possible to get the full word on the page

Nothing on there explains how this person is clearly transphobic
So person is sure the person wouldn't have turned the volume up if the other wasn't trans? Some people are just jerks regardless of the other person.
[удалено]
the greatest evidence of equality is that _everyone_ can be a jerk.
The greatest evidence of inequality is that some people are immune to the consequences of being a jerk.
Exactly. I worked with a very flamboyant gay man for a few years. We eventually had to fire him for sexually harassing underaged male employees. Actually, he had been sexually harassing people for YEARS but he finally did it to someone who complained properly.
Damn, you worked with Kevin Spacey?

Yah turns out all groups of people have bad representatives and they are unfortunately usually the loudest. An individual is not locked in to every belief of some people in their group and should not be treated as such. All groups, all people.
The context I got from the note was that they started an argument and said some transphobic shit when a trans neighbor knocked on their door.
There is no context in the image, i can easily write a letter like that and stick it to a door. We know nothing about the situation
But can you make it look so nice? I don't think so.
Oh, just you wait to I stick an unsigned note to your door; filled with random yet hypocritical claims about New York. that’ll show you!
"Hey transphobe, The New York Public Library has more than 50 million books in it's collection. Later, hater."
"did you know that theres some track maintenance on the 4 this weekend, you transphobic fuck."
The “New York Way” is to do one of two things: confront a person face to face, or shut the hell up.
This reminds me of an old Robin Williams bit about a “New York echo”. - Robin Williams - “Helloooo?” - Echo - “Shut the fuck up!”
Seems like the note is in response to the face to face going poorly.
Isn't the "New York way" actually "Fuck off, I'll do whatever I want?"
I can hear the guy seeing this note going " the fuck is this" then reading it and throwing it away going " mind ya fucking business ". What kind of noise was that guy making to illicit the response. I say that cause I've had some neighbors who were nut jobs and called in a noise complaint while I was asleep
Tbh that’s the true New York City way
I imagine the New York way is to yell back, “I’m noising here!”
It's noising time
Elicit -- to draw out Illicit -- illegal, not permitted Now you know
Yeah, there is a lot of missing context here. Some people's version of "too loud" is having a raucous party or banging each other so hard the headboard is slapping the wall.

I didn't assume the trans person was the letter writer.

That's good handwriting
Uh…context?
Can New Yorkers stop fellating themselves for once
