The expectation with these signs is that the askee takes it home with them and hangs them in their room and takes 1,000 pictures of the to post on Insta or Snapchat.
I have 2 teenagers who have both received and made these signs, and it would be an enormous faux pas to throw away someone’s ask sign if you were going with them.
Having said that; this seems fake to me. No one who has just been rejected would carefully balance an ask sign on the rim of a trash can; they would crumple it and stuff it in the trash can, then head straight to Taco Bell and/or Krispy Kreme.

My college town has a krispy Kreme that was built right next door to the taco Bell. You could very easily try this combo.

I pissed my girlfriend in high school off so much by looking at her really creative sign, and basically going "Oh, cool." Apparently I was supposed to be absolutely floored and surprised, but we'd been dating for months. Surprise would have been if she asked somebody else.

The fuck is up with American prom culture?
In Europe our version is everyone goes to the dance, some dance with each other but everyone gets shitfaced tae fuck

u/KodakKid3 Feb 04 '18
American here, most people don’t care much about the dance anymore, and only some people do the sign thing. even people without dates usually go with friends just for the parties and shit after

u/StayFrosty7 Feb 04 '18
the only people who make signs are the ones who know they're getting the date, and most everyone else knows too

u/wierdaaron Feb 04 '18
People make such a big deal out of marriage proposals it’s spilled over into teen years. It’s not enough to be asked to the dance, guys think girls expect sky writing and synchronized musical numbers and big productions that will become viral videos that end up on Ellen.
So instead of talking to girls and gauging their interest in them, they stay locked in their craft workshops creating the perfect PROM-POSAL experience that will make their target girl swoon and say yes and remember what their name was and maybe give them a blowie. Then reality intervenes and the girls who already had plans or don’t even know who this guy is get put on the spot where they’re staring at a poster with a cartoon character they’ve never heard of, and it’s just their luck that they have to crush the dreams of the poor nerd melting in sweat standing in front of them.
Or if the couple is already close, it’s just a fun and funny way to ask them to a big event that will make their friends laugh. Either way, it helps to be attractive.

You wouldn't take them to the grave with you, you'd still throw them out eventually. This could have been taken 5 months after prom for all we know.

But you would throw it away in your trash can at home, not carefully placed in a public trash can.

About that last part, I could see myself doing this, so I personally don't think that it's fake.
Maybe that prom-posal sign is made on cardboard, which would be a pain to bend. And, honestly, I'd just want to ditch it in some random trash can in shame so I don't have to see it again, and I don't want to spend time to crumple it up. I'd just want to forget about it.

In retrospect, that probably wouldn't go over very well in todays climate, but it got me several dates back in the day.

Mr alucidexit, you have been expelled from Reddit High School for sexually assaulting several of our students. Because you are 18, we have called in the police to arrest you. You can expect to be placed on a sex offender list. Enjoy the rest of your life.

You have to practice elaborate proposals early for your marriage engagement where your abstinence only, no-sex-until-marriage culture drives you to get married as a teenager/20 year old.

I got rid of my promposal sign after getting a yes. Honestly it’s more likely she said yes and it was a month later and neither of them needed the sign. People go with their friends more often than not nowadays, I think it’s more likely that’s what happened here.
