A perfect example of turning negative things into something positive. I mean, you guys saw those things written in furniture stores, right? It's usually in the "couch section" Or whatever the hell you call that. Well, anyway, the typical thing that people write is:
"Please don't sit here."
I don't know why but I salute the folks who write this instead:
"Thank you for not sitting."
That sounds more positive. I don't know but I heard someone said that one should turn the don'ts into something more positive 'cuz don'ts sound so restricting. It means that instead of saying "Don't do evil things" you say, "Only do good things" instead. Are you gettin' me? So I really think the thanks for not sitting thing is a good sign.
(I know, I'm weird... I'm writing about a sign.)
