It's Not Trigonometry
FOUND by Adam Altman
in Chicago, Illinois
A month ago or so, I came out to my car to find this note. I couldn't figure out which "sine" the note referred to but the line has become kind of a mantra in my head. "You see the sign so move now, you see the sign so move now...."

maybe the note was itself a sign directing you to move your car with speed?
How can people who spell this badly even read?
Usually when people care about how or where your car is parked, they are completely insane. I've had a couple of incidents with crazy notes on my car. (bad spelling and grammar too).
Funny after reading this, I was reminded of something one of my high school teachers told me. She told our class once, on the topic of handicapped parking spaces, that whenever she was in a parking lot and noticed someone parked in a handicapped spot that didn't have one of those tags or a sign on their license plate, that she'd write them a sarcastically kind little note on how to properly park their car next time. Just thought I'd share!
Perhaps the person who wrote this note was on a tangent.
Maybe the sign was a 'condemned' notice pasted to the person's front door and he/she just didn't get the hint.
I get stuff stuck in my head, also. I read a few Terry Pratchett books several months ago and now "Ponder Stibbens*" is on an occasional loop in there.
I'll try, "You see the sign so move now, you see the sign so move now...." instead!
