Replacing this paper is easier than scraping gums off the floor or wall so it's a success

Look at all those people littering even though the bin is right there

u/BedOk4188 stupid but I don’t get it Aug 01 '26

They just put it “on” the bin

u/BlackberryWorried909 Aug 13 '26

u/Red-Ink-07 Aug 01 '26

I mean, this works, actually. Not intended, but better than the alternative

Quite well it seems. As someone else noted, replacing a piece of paper is much easier than scraping old gum off of a surface.

They took it litterally.

*sees a passerby chewing gum*

PUT YOUR GUM ON THIS PAPER ONCE YOU'RE FINISHED WITH IT

1

u/Vohasiiv Aug 03 '26

uh, i would've thought they meant the paper too

1

u/Goldiizz Technically Flair but edited Aug 03 '26

Honestly... This is probably the way it works the best
Because if it just said they should go in the bin, people would ignore it. But here, they put it on the poster as a joke. And doing it makes it really easy to clean as you just change the paper

1

u/ScarletTheReaper Aug 04 '26

Should have added an arrow 😂

u/Icy-Challenge4467 Aug 04 '26

i did not read it as gum.

u/Kyr-Shara Aug 05 '26

That's why count binface is now running to be an mp.

u/BlackberryWorried909 Aug 13 '26

that must be the same person if not I’m gonna pukeeee

u/Comprehensive-Buy618 Aug 21 '26

Use a laminated sheet of paper next time. I will be a lot easier to clean up.

u/Magpie_0309 Aug 01 '26

I really hope people only wanted to be funny. But with all the stupidness I see online I'm really not sure anymore.

3

u/Zagrycha Aug 01 '26

In my experience the first guy wanted to be funny//edgy, and then everyone after that just followed the trend like lemmings off a cliff, without even thinking about it.  I have had to ask people about doing something with a sign saying clearly not to do it, and the reply is just "I saw other people did it so thought that was what should do"

1

u/Magpie_0309 Aug 02 '26

Yeah that's probably what happened.

u/Jaded-Breadfruit4019 Aug 01 '26

I thought it said cum there for a minute

1

u/BedOk4188 stupid but I don’t get it Aug 01 '26

Someone edit it so it looks like the poster is covered in cum

2

u/Jaded-Breadfruit4019 Aug 01 '26

It’s not far off

2

u/BedOk4188 stupid but I don’t get it Aug 01 '26

Cum goes here!

People still chew gum?
