<p>The ironic part, at least in my neighborhood, if you do this for your garage sale, the cops will carefully collect all of the signs, come to your garage sale and give you a ticket for some amount times the number of signs. And if you do not have a fully complete Garbage Sale permit.... But private companies... they let them coast.</p>

<p>"<em>Dear Cyclist,</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>At 1-800-GOT-JUNK? we employ magical Sign Fairies who are usually discerning about placement. Our new class of Sign Fairies that we are currently training is a bit over zealous with their sign placement. They actually escaped from their cage last week and it’s clear that one of them has visited your Starbucks bike rack in Chicago.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><em>We acknowledge that this sign placement was inconvenient. Please accept this email as a sincere apology from our corporate head office and our local franchise. We dispatched a team to remove it this morning; it is gone now.</em></p>

<p>With no exceptions, the people I know who have a well-developed enough sense of civic duty and stewardship for their surroundings to care about something like the placement of these signs are also people who have a lot to do, and accomplish a lot.</p>
