Cost way more than five bucks in wasted time" though? I mean, maybe if you're getting 50 spam calls a day it's worth it, but I've been deleting those "your car warranty" emails for years without paying a dime. Seems like a lot of money just to avoid hitting the delete button a few extra times.

I tried painting a banner for a rally once and it rained halfway through, so it just looked like a sad watercolor mess. @owens.anthony I feel your buddy's pain though, whiteboards are just asking for dry erase ink betrayal when you need it most lol. I'm honestly surprised nobody has invented a "look at me" sign that just yells at people yet, because that's what we really need.
