and the award for worst sign spinner ever goes to…

lazy sign spinnerok i see this dude all the time at the corner of carson and los coyotes diagonal in long beach, and he is officially the laziest sign spinner ever!

he has his arrow on a string, tied to the traffic light pole. then he brings a chair, and just kinda listlessly taps his strung-up arrow every now and then so it moves.

this is a travesty!

  1. OH MY GOD that video was awesome!!! see you watch that video and then you realize just how awful the one in my blog post is… if anyone finds themselves at the long beach towne center, this guy’s intersection is really close to there. tell him large marge sent ya!

  2. I have to tell you, this is hysterical 🙂 I’ve never heard of a sign spinner, but I can see why you felt the need to post this. If my sister and I were in the car and saw this, she would go berserk 🙂
