Raffle!!!!! Raffle!!!!!

This one was just too funny. Five exclamation points, twice????? The best part for me is that the raffle itself is so exciting that it gets a total of ten exclamation points, and yet the prize of the "SF 49ERS BASKET" gets nothing.

Turn Lights Off!!



I don't know why, but it cracked me up to picture this person printing out an 8.5X11 sheet with like 50 of these excessively exclamated statements, and then cutting them all out and taping them all around the office as little reminders to keep those damn lights off. Dedication to the cause of excessive exclamation!! Also, it makes me a little nervous to turn the lights on when I feel like I need them!

Do Not Prop Door Open!!!



The triple exclamation point may show how serious this sign is commanding you, however, I think it is the needless capitalization of each word in the statement that would get me into action.

Friday and Saturday only!!


If the first exciting statement deserved an exclamation, surely the next statement deserved two!!

Don't even think about trying to get that 5% at any other time!!!

Get Used!Books



What is with these mid-statement exclamation points that keep popping up? Are you yelling "Get used!" And then whispering "books"?

I look forward to speaking with you!

I love trying to fit the actual rules of exclamation points into the various pictures we get. While I understand that the apartment manager was trying to show her excitement about wanting to speak with you with this unnecessary exclamation, I like to think it falls more under the more appropriate use of showing astonishment, as in, if she actually looked forward to speaking with you, it would be quite astonishing!
