Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Looks like an automatic car wash based on the signs

Yeah you turn your mirrors in. Check ‘em out for the prescribed/contractual tome period, refill mirror fluid to max, and turn back in. It’s all in the contract.

Probably intended as "[Did you remember to] turn mirrors in ???"
I'm more interested in why people shouldn't wash dueling rear wheels and oversized ones. Maybe they're like cats and spraying them with water will stop all the fighting.

They probably don't fit on the car wash tracks.

I'm not a car person but I'm assuming they meant to prohibit dual (as in 'double') rear wheels as I don't think there's a configuration that would warrant using duel (as in 'fight').

I imagine them being forced to constantly run so close to each other can lead to a build up of frustrations that could eventually culminate in a duel. I'm not sure why the carwash would discourage people from breaking up a good wheel-fight, though.

There's an ancient evil lurking in those woods that possesses mirrors. You need to turn them inward so the evil spirit doesn't enter them and follow you home.

(most modern side view mirrors can be turned inward so they are less likely to be damaged in a car wash or something)

Damned right, fucking mirror terrorists.
