I’ve seen enough of the internets to know this is a must have. Damn, if I was in America this would be a business idea in itself.

Edit: If you nick this idea and make it your business - YOU’RE WELCOME! I only ask kindly of you send a yearly donation to Doctors Without Borders or some similar organisation.

    Shit, you could probably make a killing selling this sign. Easy enough to build with a couple esp01’s and some led

    And added feature, you could carry the button around with you. Someone asks bullshit question you can nonchalantly point over to the sign while you push the button in your pocket.

      I was in a dollar store the other day that had 2 GIANT posters on the front doors saying “NO CASH” “We cannot accept cash payments at this time” and while I was in there I saw 3 people get told they can’t accept cash and then the shoppers left the store in a huff.

    As an American, is there a reason you can’t do this in your home country? Do they ban neon signs?

      We don’t have the same problem with immensely obnoxious self entitled people that you guys seem to have so the need is not sufficient to motivate a sign and hence even less to start a business selling them.

        IMO that perception is just the result of the Internet being English language centric and Americans making up the majority of English speakers online. We have a disproportionate impact online. So whenever you hear about a Karen, she is probably in America because most of the time you hear about something it’s from America.

        I haven’t seen data on the issue but I’d imagine the data would probably just reflect that humans are humans no matter where you are.

        In my personal experience I haven’t seen this kind of behavior much, then again I don’t work retail.

          Yeah i know. It’s all tongue in cheek. I did consider of I need to clarify but decided in the end not to.

    I mean, you don’t need to be in the US to sell to Americans. It would help with the shipping fees, but you can also find third parties to be a US warehouse/fulfillment center.
