No these are not "photoshopped"

[SHRED]

And yes these signs have been up for years.

From the city, in San Diego County, where I work:

1. I just figured out what's wrong...

I sat here for about two minutes going, "OK, it's a Mex restaurant with a drive thru, so what's wrong with that?" And then it hit me.

:rofl:

[RevolutionaryActs]

4. I did the same thing.

:rofl:

[TommyO]

15. Count me in also!

I looked at the pictures, and looked, and looked, and didn't see anything wrong. It's amazing the way our brain processes language, getting the words right if the first and last letters are in the proper position.

[ulysses]

2. uhaul, car wash and lunch all in one?

Cool.

[LibraLiz1973]

3. lol... You dont see it right away because

the first and last letters are right.

Whcih maens the emial we all got abuout waht yuor eeys see is true!!

[LynzM]

9. Yup. Tricky.

I didn't see it either.

[Little Wing]

5. The height of laziness just climbed a rung

[ForrestGump]

6. I don't like it when they spell it that way...

Like "nite," "quik" (not the chocolate powder), "tru," and so on...

It's drive-trhough, dammit! :grr:

[NightWatcher]

7. holy shit, that took me too long to get it.

[Dervill Crow]

8. Damn, I work as a proofreader and it took me five minutes to get it.

Oy veh. Time for a job change for me. :eyes:

[LynzM]

10. I used to, as well.

Took me a minute, after reading the replies. Damn.

[rocktivity]

11. I was in a small rock club one night, and there were signs that said "No Posters"

to discourage bands from putting flyers on the walls. Except that at first I thought they said "No POSERS!" After explaining to the bartender why I was laughing my head off, she sighed, "If only it WERE that easy..."

:headbang:

[AlCzervik]

12. olo that is so worng.

[crim son]

13. It didn't take ANY of you as long as it took me.

(slaps forehead)

[Danger Mouse]

23. That's hardly shocking, dear

;)

[xchrom]

14. i don't get ti? waht's wrong?

[SHRED]

22. HA HA ;)

[QueenOfCalifornia]

16. err, ummmm

I kept looking at the graphic images in the center of the sign wondering why they differ so much from one sign to the next and didn't get the big picture - err, umm... of the spelling error - I suddenly realized what it must feel like to be one dumb-assed, myopic, Fox News watching, Bush-loving retard and slapped myself silly.

Only in Poway... Shred - did you take the pictures?

[SHRED]

17. I took them about 4 years ago...here:

[meegbear]

18. How about a bone for the non-spanish speakers here

[AllegroRondo]

20. its the words "drive thru"

[meegbear]

21. D'OHT!

My bad! :spank:

[Dukkha]

24. wow that did take a while

you really are conditioned to not see spelling errors like that and I was loooking intensly at MOLCASALSA the whole time.

[bigwillq]

25. Glad I am not the only one

that it took so long to figure out. :P

[baldguy]

27. You just spent $100,000 on signage and your new restaurant is opening TODAY.

When the sign company delivers these, what would you do?

[begin_within]

28. What street? I live in San Diego and I want to drive by there sometime.

[SHRED]

Across from Evans Tire and just east of UHaul.
