y Y y Y look at the Ys, then look at the off center horizontal lines on the capital H above and I below.
It's the same person or an absolutely remarkable coincidence, same sharpie, same poor tape job that wouldn't last long enough for the the replying person to; notice it, go find a sharpie & paper, write the note all nice and neat.
I may not be confident beyond a reasonable doubt, but I am confident enough to downvote.
If it were real, as a cyclist, 100% fair.
OK so this was my wife's sister's bike when they lived in Cambridge. She's been trying to live this photo down for years and I promise you that we will never, ever, let her live it down. Thank you for taking this picture you have no idea how hard it's made us laugh for years now.
Clearly carefully writing in all caps to avoid making the handwriting look similar. Forgets to change pen, paper, and overall letter spacing and word size. The B’s are identical for fucks sake.
But they aren't. The bottom one has a small bump, with a clean half circle lower bump that is quite large. While the top one has a medium sized bump with a slightly larger lower bump. Also the "P's" are different, there is almost no letter that I see as identical, the only thing that makes it seem fake is the same size marker used, the dumbest form of communication with a picture for example, and that's pretty much it.
I disagree. I think the B is close enough to look like same person deliberately trying to write it differently. Obviously it’s too pixelated to tell so we’ll never know…
Just to answer without making fun of you. Thats the pola that has the handicap sign. I guess you cant chain anything to it because it might obstruct cars that needs raps for wheelchairs and such. So not for chaining your wheelchair when you pop into the shop, but to mark the whole area needed for the handicapped, not just the parking space. Sorry if its still confusing.
I think I can get that. Part of what was confusing me was the width of the signs. It's probably just a thin metal rail, but I was picturing a tree trunk like telephone pole.
The T’s on the first note look a little too similar for my comfort, but it’s not definitive. What gets me is the pieces of paper look like they were posted on the same day with scotch tape
The B's have characteristics that hint they are from the same writer. Also the off center vertical and horizontal lines on the T's and I are unique writing traits as well.
Bozo the clown was a children's TV show. It was filmed locally and my mom took my sister's scout troop to the studio. I was too young to be a scout but went with them anyway. I ended up being picked from the audience to do part of the show.
There it is my brush with greatness. I was on the bozo show
Pretty sure in certain parking situations you'll see poles on the edge of a handicap parking space when the edge is close to where traffic drives through. Like if you picture a Walmart parking lot they would be on the closest spaces to the store
WHAT are the chances that both the bike owner and the critic had the same sized piece of paper and the very same pen available to them at the same place but different times? Very slightly differing times - notice no weathering, crinkling or ink runs?
I smell a made up submission trying to pretend it’s real.
It would be kind of funny if they did lock it in the same place with a new lock . . . since the original owner wouldn't be able to do anything but leave another note asking for the combination.
Hey reddit! The top page was written by my sister and I can confirm that it is 100% not fake. It happened in 2014 and we still laugh about it. Never got the bike back though
Probably one of the few times someone's bike was stolen, but actually wasn't. I remember a story from a friend, when I lived in Denver, which is a very bike centric area. After leaving work downtown, another friend met up with them, they had already been at the bar.
Friend proudly rides his new +$3,500 mountain bike down to the patio to drink. Whilst fucking off and drinking someone casually made off with the bike on the other side of the patio fence. This was over 5 years ago, not someone I am close to, but this story still makes me angry. At not just the theif, who just casually leaves something so expensive out like that?

She told em to "BEAT IT, BOZO" ...no she did not.
I understood that reference

I'm calling people bozo now
[удалено]
Tough luck, bozo
[удалено]
Ya sure did, bozo
Hey, man - what are you hassling me for? This is just a gig, it's not my life. I don't know who Bozo is, what - is he a clown?
Best interaction I’ve seen today.
Bozos duh. Is it spelt bozos, or bozoes, or bezos?
Better than jabroni
I've always enjoyed calling people a fool ... It cuts deep.
I've always been partial to "empty-headed fethwit", myself.
Use wanker. Best word ever.
Me Grimlock not Bozo, me king!!
Unexpected Mulaney.
Expected always sunny in Philadelphia
My stepdad called someone a knucklehead one time and the guy lost his mind. It’s the best insult ever
The yugioh community have been calling people bozo for at least a year
I like bozo but I’ve been using dingus lately.
This should be in r/cringe for how obviously fake it is.
#HEY BOZO
Hey, I know you!
That's my friend Tom
I was looking at the letters. Not one is similar (looking at caps). But you’re right. Same pen and paper.
Oh my, how did they ever find a second person to write the other sign?
Same writing pressure too. Same Bs (that pointy bit!), same Cs, same Hs, Ls and Is very similar.
Don't understand the downvotes. I came to the same conclusion. And its more likely to not have help. Because this shit is pathetic.
It's just reddit. Once a comment gets -1 then everyone piles on.
Reddit is like a modern day Milgram Experiment.

You mean they both didn't have the same paper, same pen, and same writing? Shocking\~!
I mean, it’s different writing. Still obviously fake though Edit: realized it’s because it’s capitalized
I still think it's different writing. The ticks on the C's are different
The bottom one is in Italics and lowercase though.
I’m the original poster. I took this photo years ago when I was out for a walk and posted it.

Sure ya did

So you just made both signs and took a pic yourself. Cool OP
I’m much too lazy for that.
OP 🍻
Listen Bozo, sometimes victims of theft and random concerneds just happen to use the exact same pen and paper.
It's 100% real. This was taken near Gore street in Cambridge, MA.
Elementary, Watson!
Clearly carefully writing in all caps to avoid making the handwriting look similar. Forgets to change pen, paper, and overall letter spacing and word size. The B’s are identical for fucks sake.
The Bs are not identical, and even more the Hs are not identical. And neither are the eyes.
Look at how the right side of the B is written. Same stroke just slanted.
But they aren't. The bottom one has a small bump, with a clean half circle lower bump that is quite large. While the top one has a medium sized bump with a slightly larger lower bump. Also the "P's" are different, there is almost no letter that I see as identical, the only thing that makes it seem fake is the same size marker used, the dumbest form of communication with a picture for example, and that's pretty much it.
I disagree. I think the B is close enough to look like same person deliberately trying to write it differently. Obviously it’s too pixelated to tell so we’ll never know…
The top page was written by my sister when we lived together in Cambridge MA in 2014. I can 100% confirm it is not fake.
Same paper same pen?
The subtle off white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it…oh my god…it even has a watermark…
Something wrong, Roscoe? You're sweating
I know right, impossible that there is so much 11x14" printing paper and black sharpie markers around
Right off the bat I want to say I'm a very stupid, ignorant person. What the fuck is a handicap pole? Is it so they can lock their wheelchairs to it?
Strip clubs don’t discriminate and this special pole lets them keep working.
Just to answer without making fun of you. Thats the pola that has the handicap sign. I guess you cant chain anything to it because it might obstruct cars that needs raps for wheelchairs and such. So not for chaining your wheelchair when you pop into the shop, but to mark the whole area needed for the handicapped, not just the parking space. Sorry if its still confusing.
I think I can get that. Part of what was confusing me was the width of the signs. It's probably just a thin metal rail, but I was picturing a tree trunk like telephone pole.
We should do a forensic analysis to determine the truth
The T’s on the first note look a little too similar for my comfort, but it’s not definitive. What gets me is the pieces of paper look like they were posted on the same day with scotch tape
Check out the upper case B's. It's the same writer.
[удалено]
The B's have characteristics that hint they are from the same writer. Also the off center vertical and horizontal lines on the T's and I are unique writing traits as well.
First thing I noticed was how legible the handwriting was.
“… killed them all, of course.”
Life before reddit.
Bozo is an underused word
Bozo was a clown on tv in the 1960’s
Bozo was a friend of mine 🥰
The original?
[удалено]
Only an unknown, unfortunately
I'm calling a lot of people bozo now. It's like my new thing
Bozo the clown was a children's TV show. It was filmed locally and my mom took my sister's scout troop to the studio. I was too young to be a scout but went with them anyway.

What's a "handicap pole"?
Pretty sure in certain parking situations you'll see poles on the edge of a handicap parking space when the edge is close to where traffic drives through. Like if you picture a Walmart parking lot they would be on the closest spaces to the store
Reevaluate YOUR life 🫵
They both have the same paper and marker. Convenient
This looks so staged.
My favourite word of all time.
“That guys a bozo”
WHAT are the chances that both the bike owner and the critic had the same sized piece of paper and the very same pen available to them at the same place but different times? Very slightly differing times - notice no weathering, crinkling or ink runs? I smell a made up submission trying to pretend it’s real.
Can a bitch have fun online anymore damn u ain't Inspectah Deck
YESSS!!
> had the same sized piece of paper While I agree overall, paper does tend to be pretty standard sizes
Bozo is a boomer insult. Feel free to go old school.
I’ve totally forgotten that “Bozo” is a great insult. I shall be using this daily at work!
It would be kind of funny if they did lock it in the same place with a new lock . . . since the original owner wouldn't be able to do anything but leave another note asking for the combination.
Bozo is one if my favorite insults
Marge, give us the scoop!
“Ehhhhhh, she told him to BEAT IT, BOZO!”
"Hey Bozo"
Someone should put a sign about how it's illegal to post a sign their
Fake
Ok but maybe it was a modified of electric bike for a disabled person
Oh this cracked me up!!! Nice to see something funny on Reddit
Had me at BOZO 😂
Hey reddit! The top page was written by my sister and I can confirm that it is 100% not fake. It happened in 2014 and we still laugh about it. Never got the bike back though
Fake AF.. this devalues Reddit which is saying a lot

Dude. This is a life lesson. Anything you think you are right, or wrong, try to take a step back and evaluate THE LANDSCAPE!
Probably cheaper buying a new bike than getting it back from impound
Look at the y in 'previously' on the top one, then look at the y in 'hey' at the bottom. These signs were written by the same person.
It's fake, like most of these. Two people had identical black markers.

Objection, hearsay
They both hav3 lovely writing
Both? That's one person.
Should be a 3rd sign saying, it IS illegal to lock your bike to this pole but don’t call the cops I stole it before they could get to it.
Burrrrrrnnnnn...
Where's OP's reply?
Bam!
Hey bozo
Madge, what did Elin say to Tiger?
You got served.
Playing devil’s advocate with all the letter comparing in the comments: what about the Ks?
RIPBOZO
Handicap pole? Like Malgorzata Olejnik?
Bozo is a timeless burn that will never get old
Lmao
Man getting called bozo is so degrading lol
