[QUOTE=Lee H. Mann;550439]I'll explain the part about not abiding by posted hours...
The sign on the door says open from 8:am to 6pm, You get there at 5:30 and there closed.....So you come back the next morning at 8am And hang around cooling your heals out side till 8:30......Do that too often to your customers and the word gets around, Don't go there, Their never open when they say they will be....

[QUOTE=rhino 2;550446]I understand that part, I just couldn't see if an OPEN sign was ON and you were able to attain entrance through an unlocked door, HOW could they claim they were closed ?That would GET MY GOAT !!!

I have a tenant, Jamaican Delli/ Restaurant, has his business hrs sign, open 8am >> 7pm. Haven’t seen his open sign on earlier than 11am. Hence my problem childAsked him about doing breakfast, he just shrugged his shoulders.

[QUOTE=Lee H. Mann;550439]Forgetting to turn off the open sign when closing.
[QUOTE=Philip R;550520]I bet they did it just for to stress you out !!!
I have had that happen more than once to me at my own business.
Several times the power went out during the day and we locked up and left.
The police never called me so........
I came back in the morning and found my OPEN sign lit up.
I wonder how many people tried to patronize me in at midnight because of that ??
People out and about at that hour are usually up to no good in my town.
Putting it on a timer wouldn't work ... we do leave the lights on in the showroom to discourage would be shop-lifters and miscreants so I guess some might be confused with my operations hours sign and that I should be closed and not open on a Sunday at midnight..

4 of us on a road trip, trying to find rooms in the Black Hills over Labor Day. None in Keystone, Rapid, Black Hawk, Sturgis, Whitewood, Spearfish. Pull into Belle Fourche at 11 PM, we had already stopped at 30-40 motels. See a sign "Yes". We found a room! Go in the front office and the gal comes out and says "Oh my God, I forgot to turn the sign off."
She felt so bad so she called people that took bikers in for the rally and she found us a place to sleep. We were grateful, our next stop would have been buying sleeping bags and looking for a picnic table. We started at 8 that morning and finally stopped at 11:30 PM...

People picking apart the M8 engine that do not understand it or have heard from so and so on a forum so it has to be true
If 1 more person says I would NEVER be a Beta tester for a new engine I would say Stay home, don't go to the store to buy the latest and greatest product you saw on an infomercial
This IMO is counter productive
If we live in fear we will surely fall behind

the clothes with the word PINK on them and they are not PINK colored clothes.
PINK is a color not a franchise. respect the color PINK and wear PINK cloths
People who demand answers but won’t make the personal effort to go to the actual source to get them -just yelling into space trying to conjure them up.

Almost in the same vein as Carla's post.......People that post about a problem and or are asking for help from the members here about a problem, And then after 50 or so well meaning replies from members , There isn't an answer as to if the problem was ever solved...Or even maybe an update..

What gets my goat is all the little monuments to stupidity on the side of the road. Crosses, heart shaped balloons, teddy bears. They'll be startin on the mountain again soon. When the motorcycles come out in spring you know someone will die being stupid. I do feel sorry for them and there family, but nobody cleans up there mess so there it sits. They should bring that crap to the cemetery grave site? I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but just seems wrong to leave what amounts to a bunch gardage on the side of the road. So they're gonna be replenihin the the junk piles soon.
