Is it just me or are storage facilities gross?

They are rat infected dumps filled with dead bodies, more allergens than a field in spring, stuff, and homeless men that rent out storage units to spend time hanging out in (actually thats pretty cool).

Here's one fine example of another reason why they are gross: the sexual innuendos that they blatently plaster all around town. Dick-in-a-Box Storage!?!?! I mean really!

Still not convinced?

Like a Ray of Light

Remember cruising around in the summer?

What do you mean no snow day?!

I hope those poor bastards at New York Department of Sanitation get quadruple time on a day like today.

Good Lord. These poor, poor souls. For those not in the know, behold: sheer terror. If I can remember correctly, this was taken around 8:13 in the morning. Just imagine... you and your co-worker just picked up the rental, en route to the job and, not being familiar with the height of this foreign vehicle, cruise straight into a low overpass to a dead jarring halt.

Shudder.

Not only is the trailer sardined, but you're not making it to the job site anytime soon. You might have waved the meager insurance fee if you're a cheapskate. And man, let me tell ya, the guys at Ryder give you grief after pouring water into the transmission fluid rez. Imagine rolling in with this calamity.

Sheer terror.

As you can see, the driver in an acute daze and pale as a ghost. The co-driver stumbled off in an unknown direction, I don't know why. It must have felt like being told you have three herniated discs in between L3/L4/L5/S1 in your lumbar, need a triple discectomy with accompanying spinal fusion, and will never work with your friends ever again, let alone touch your toes...

Actually, nahhh, it doesn't. Tearing the roof off a box truck must feel wayyy worse.

Two Choices, Obscured Warning.

Large truck drivers [large trucks, not drivers, though often the drivers too] would like all small car drivers to understand that passing a truck on the driver's side is safer than passing on the passenger's side. This is often indicated on the back of a truck with an arrow pointing to the driver's side with the word "Yes" and an arrow pointing to the passenger's side with the word "No." Already a cryptic message which goes mostly unnoticed by its intended audience, the pass-preference signage has become nothing more than a medium for truckers to impart that famous trucker's wit to the streets. (Another example of said wit is attaching a stuffed animal to a truck's grill). Though passing on the left is a golden rule of traffic safety that deserves constant reiteration, the digression from "YES/NO" pushes the message into the realm of truckers' inside joke. The creative messages tend towards death threats rather than safety warning. In our photo here, the implied message: pass on the left and be grateful to the lord Jebus that you have survived another day navigating to work like an asshole. Pass on the right and die like hippy scum.
