Top 5 Misspelled Vinyl Wall Decals
Play nice, you guys. Don’t make me call the manger.
Well, don’t just sit there! You are mountain is waiting!
And I never want to live in a room with typos on purple walls.
Don’t just escape from some day life, escape from every day life. Every last one. And do it in your bathroom.
It’s a good thing John Denver is dead, because this would have killed him.

Place nice or you’ll get the mange! You kids’ll take a lot of shit at school when big clumps of hair start to go missing!
June 24, 2010 at 9:36 am
I feel like taunting an English teacher friend of mine with these, but given that the school year just ended I’m afraid it will be enough to make her snap and crush me with the OED.
June 24, 2010 at 9:38 am
My dad always insisted that the lyric was “you fill out my census”…so it could have been worse.
June 24, 2010 at 9:39 am
wow.
i guess the front lines of the war on illiteracy isn’t in the classroom, but at home.
all together that’s:
my senses feel that you and your mountain should escape every day and live with out the mange.
truly, words to live by.
June 24, 2010 at 9:39 am
OMG, it took me a minute to realize that was supposed to be a John Denver quote. Holy grandma’s feather bed, I’m sure John Denver is rolling in his grave or wondering about the quality of that rocky mountain high someone was on when they typed that!
June 24, 2010 at 9:39 am
And honestly, ‘feel up my sense’? I’m amazed anyone could put those words together in that order without realising there was something amiss. Is that even supposed to mean anything? Is like some kind of pervy psychic power?
June 24, 2010 at 9:40 am
Show me on the gator where the sleepy blue ocean touched you.
(Did I use that joke once already?)
June 24, 2010 at 9:40 am
I don’t care WHAT anybody says, I DO NOT want my senses felt up by a lime green cartoon alligator. A cartoon blue ocean maybe. A lime green cartoon alligator? Notsomuchthanks!
The “mangement?” Who is the mange meant for?
June 24, 2010 at 9:41 am
The “every day life” thing must be a Twilight fan… get it? “Day” life…? Because of the vampire thing…?
*crickets chirp*
You guys are feeling my senses with sadness at my lame joke.
June 24, 2010 at 9:42 am
Interestingly enough, I once got felt up at night in the forest.
June 24, 2010 at 9:42 am
Dude, “mangement” — that almost sounds fun, like whimsicle fuckery fun. I think I almost want that on a t-shirt, just not one with a vagina…
June 24, 2010 at 9:42 am
These are grate.
June 24, 2010 at 9:43 am
I’ve always hated that Winnie the Pooh quote. “I want to die before you to spare myself the pain of losing you. Your pain at losing me, however…meh, whatever. You’re dying tomorrow anyway.”
June 24, 2010 at 9:43 am
I’m impressed that they were able to slap that wall quote across the corner of their bathroom wall. Because that’s not Photoshopped, no, never.
June 24, 2010 at 9:45 am
I’ve always wanted to be felt up by John Denver. Oh wait…wasn’t supposed to say that out loud…
June 24, 2010 at 9:46 am
That’s not a sleepy blue ocean feeling you up–it’s a jellyfish.
June 24, 2010 at 9:47 am
Man, I don’t want to know about a bird feeling up a crocodile …
June 24, 2010 at 9:48 am
They say that with modern spellcheck/grammar check tools it doesn’t matter if people learn proper grammar and spelling unless they’re editing publications. This is, of course, utter bullshit.
June 24, 2010 at 9:49 am
I tutor English. I am very tempted to “convo” the seller with all the grammar, word choice, and sentence structure macros I have at my disposal.
June 24, 2010 at 9:50 am
I am so distracted by the ugly font on the “Play Nice” decal. Mangement is going to have to send a memo out on that one.
June 24, 2010 at 9:53 am
I was going to do an alligator theme in my son’s bathroom but I don’t think it would be appropriate to feel up his senses. And, my husband tries to feel mine enough; writing it on the wall would be like a legal contract to him.
June 24, 2010 at 9:58 am
If I ever entered a playroom with that Winnie the Poo quote, I would quickly round up all the sharp scissors. It’s like the twilight books condensed. Boring, creepy and sort of makes you want to kill yourself.
June 24, 2010 at 10:00 am
Buy a diksionery for Christ’s seek!
June 24, 2010 at 10:06 am
“Play Nice” isn’t just misspelled- it’s been (poorly) copied from the awesome johnwgolden. http://www.etsy.com/listing/49394497/play-nice-6-in-x10-in-print
We have a few of his posters up in our kids’ rooms, and I can guarantee that there are no typos.
June 24, 2010 at 10:07 am
Helen, that last one and the John Denver joke was beyond perfect
Anyoo, all kids love being felt up, right?
June 24, 2010 at 10:20 am
I could feel up my wall with these, purrfect. You’re grand Killer. The Mangement told me so.
June 24, 2010 at 10:21 am
I made a wall decal for my own dining room wall. This is NOT Photoshopped, I SWEAR!
(if’n you don’t want to take a pic of your own wall, here’s a blank)
OH MY GOD IS THAT PAPYRUS – HK
June 24, 2010 at 10:22 am
You fill up your sentences
With a bunch of bad typos.
Like an editor’s red pen,
Helen Killer is there
You’re no good at contractions,
Not much better at spelling.
You fill up my sentences
With fuckery to share.
June 24, 2010 at 10:26 am
YourVinylAnswer needs to find another craft to sell on etsy.
I like the new version of the John Denver quote. He was just too wholesome before . . .
June 24, 2010 at 10:29 am
At least they didn’t spell it: Wall Fecal!
June 24, 2010 at 10:40 am
#30, leeloo, it would have been more appropriate though!
June 24, 2010 at 10:48 am
You scare me senseless like a big scary rhinoceros…that’s how it goes right?
June 24, 2010 at 10:58 am
Helen, that IS Papyrus! I knew how much everyone loves it here.
*runs away*

Don’t re-sell other’s vinyl wall art and jack the price up $17, by order of the mangement.

BUY HANDMADE! – HK

I went ape shit this morning when I dropped my daughter off at day camp and saw a construction paper sign indicating “Lunchs here”. She corrected it. She’s eight.
June 24, 2010 at 11:09 am
You feel up my….never mind some things you guys are better of not having a visual to.
One would actually have to have sense for someone to feel it up, right?
June 24, 2010 at 11:10 am
VEDD
note: I admittedly used “papyrus”, but it was back when I was marketing an Archaeology textbook–it does have some relevant uses.
June 24, 2010 at 11:20 am
Your decals fill my sense of propriety with indignation, but that happens often in every day life
June 24, 2010 at 12:00 pm
I am nearly to the point of carrying around Sharpies in several different colors so that I can correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors on signage – in matching colors. I might also need to buy some stickers saying “You’ve been corrected by the Grammar Police” to slap on the offenses.
June 24, 2010 at 12:03 pm
You have to escape from every day three-dimensional space to somehow put a straight decal across a corner without changing the perspective like that.
June 24, 2010 at 12:06 pm
The only thing better than Papyrus, is Comic Sans:

The “Escape” decal (way to fuck up a perfectly nice looking bathroom) makes me think of the awful Pina Colada song. And that song makes me wanna vomit.
June 24, 2010 at 12:07 pm
I had to click on each of the decals: I couldn’t believe they were real. How can people be so inept? English is a second language to me and the mistakes jump right to my face!
Still I shouldn’t be suprized: they put wall decals on the walls of my college (famous quotes from famous writers) and some of them had spelling mistakes in them. They were all quotes about the importance of high culture… with mistakes in them. Classy…
June 24, 2010 at 12:27 pm
Expressingyou has horrible feedback- she misspells custom work too
June 24, 2010 at 12:44 pm
As if the tragedy of these weren’t bad enough, someone just bought the “feel your senses up” one today.
@patty I think I need to use your decal for my walls as well. Maybe a guest will give in and buy me paint.
June 24, 2010 at 12:50 pm
If the sleepy blue ocean would wake up it would be able to feel up more than one sense.
(Also, in my opinion it takes nerve to have an Etsy shop with the name Ebay in it.)
June 24, 2010 at 12:57 pm
Put this on your wall and you never have to worry about anyone ever trying to feel up your sense again.
June 24, 2010 at 1:00 pm
Theodore Geisel had a degree from Dartmouth and I am pretty goddamn sure he knew the difference between “you’re” and “your.”
June 24, 2010 at 1:11 pm
sorry, I meant to write:
Put this on your wall and you never have to worry about anyone trying to feel up your sense ever again.
June 24, 2010 at 1:15 pm
It’s nice to see every one adding there oun too sense hear !!
June 24, 2010 at 1:16 pm
Once, twice…wait, FIVE TIMES?!
They all made me cringe, but the last one had me laughing so hard, the dog came over to see what’s up.
June 24, 2010 at 1:22 pm
“You feel up my breasts
Like a sleepy horny husband.”
June 24, 2010 at 1:23 pm
ZOINKS!
Some oneS atually bought PLAY NICE
OH DEER – OH DEER – OH DEER ME….
June 24, 2010 at 1:24 pm
Maybe it’s just a Mondegreen.
“She has electric boobs,
My mom has two.
You know, I read it in a magazine.”
June 24, 2010 at 1:31 pm
maybe this is a dumb question but, what was wrong with the Mountain one?
Here you go. – HK
June 24, 2010 at 1:43 pm
The gator and bird look REALLY familiar. I’m pretty sure I had something in my childhood that had that gator on it.
But that can’t be true because: “Our wall Decals are all designed by artiests and are hand made products.”
June 24, 2010 at 1:48 pm
Now, now guys let’s not be too mean. Remember, reading are hard. So am’s writing.
June 24, 2010 at 1:52 pm
I’m guessing these are being bought specifically for the fuckery.
June 24, 2010 at 2:39 pm
That first one also seems like a bit of a rip off of the most excellent John W Golden’s By Order of Mgmt. series.

June 24, 2010 at 2:46 pm
I’d really like it if someone would feel up my senses.
June 24, 2010 at 2:54 pm
Poor Bronc…
June 24, 2010 at 3:09 pm
Bronc – apparently only one sense can be felt up.
June 24, 2010 at 3:39 pm
I must be dumb, but how are these “hand made”? Vinyl decals don’t scream lovingly handcrafted to me. Plus they’re all copied from other sources.
June 24, 2010 at 4:10 pm
You have to use your hand to press the button that turns on the machine that cuts out the stencil. So there. Hands are involved. Somewhat. Did that sound too grumpy? (Sorry, I’m feeling a bit pithy today, haven’t had anyone try to feel up my sense lately.)
June 24, 2010 at 4:55 pm
#64 knittin-kitten: We understand. It’s hard to find someone who is good at feeling up one’s sense.
June 24, 2010 at 6:32 pm
Sculptor 69, have you seen this?

June 24, 2010 at 6:47 pm
Well, if you “escape from every day life”……wouldn’t that make you “dead?”
June 24, 2010 at 7:19 pm
I donot understand why every one is making fun of they’re art work. Your all not making cents.
June 24, 2010 at 7:54 pm
I nearly pee’d from the first comment. Of course, I worked in a pet shop for a while, and saw mange, so thinking of children like that reminds me of when my nephew started pulling his hair out. That’s trickateelomania right? Can I get a decal of that.? Mountain..mountain..I am a mountain.. I climb a mountain..OMG I’m A VBAC!
June 24, 2010 at 8:33 pm
I think most of the people in my town wouldn’t even notice the errors. Today I saw a sign on a house that said “Must Sale Make Offer.” I just have to look away.
Also, I have to say I was so glad when I realized these weren’t all from the same seller.
June 24, 2010 at 9:12 pm
Damn! I really wanted to get the feel up my senses decal for my daughter. After this, the seller will probably fix the mistakes and it just won’t be the same.
June 24, 2010 at 9:22 pm
ISUS, – cool! I was funny without even being HERE!
I still don’t see the appeal of giant inane words stuck to a wall. Though some tasteful purple splatters would accent that tub area nicely.
June 25, 2010 at 7:57 am
I’m a little late to the party but #39: My friends and I formed the Grammar Police at the college I attend. We all carry red pens, small notebooks and tape so we can issue citations and leave them on signs.
These decals make me weep.
June 26, 2010 at 8:57 am
I am so glad my daughter’s summer reading assignment is “Eats, Shoots and Leaves”
