In need of humorous responses

I work in an office where I hook my students (adult) up with everything they need to go to class. All their publications, binders, sleeves, whatever. Well I have a problem with students and instructors coming in and helping themselves to my inventory. It drives me crazy, so I set my office up like a fortress so that they have to walk right by me in order to get into my shelves. Still not working, just today in the 2 1/2 hours I've been at work, I have had to tell people to get out of my shelves, one student I had to tell twice. These are grown *kitten* men...

So I'm hanging signs up all down one end of a 3 foot section. Can anybody come up with some good, funny, keep out signs for me? I've been sick all month and my brain is not functioning at full speed.

They have to be "work place appropriate" Thanks for your help!

  • The lady in the cube next to me has the same problem with her inventory. She has this posted outside the door:

    Is it an option just to lock everything up?

    Put in a formal complaint w/ HR or your manager and have notification sent out to everyone! Or takes pics of them and post it on a wanted poster for STEALING your supplies. LOL the latter works better for me

  • If you post funny signs, they will think you are joking.

    Put a big sign up that says I PERSONALLY PAY FOR THIS EQUIPMENT OUT OF MY OWN POCKET, IF YOU ARE CAUGHT STEALING I WILL REQUIRE YOU TO CLEAN MY CAR OR BABYSIT MY KIDS IN ORDER TO PAY FOR IT

    Can't lock anything up, unfortunately. But I'm liking some of these signs. Can't say anything about guns, the peeps I work for would throw a huge fit, can't put up bio-hazard or anything like that either, you see my dilema? But some of these are really good, I'm printing stuff out now, keep em coming and thank you!

    I've seen signs like that at work, in the ladies, in the break room. No one ever reads them. Some people are even annoyed by them and don't read them on purpose (*eyeroll* at my former boss).

    I'd suggest a filing cabinet with a key. And you keep the key.

    Some are serious, I'm mixing them, if some aren't funny, they won't read them at all. The guys I work with are a mix from 18 - 45, and they all have a sense of humor, so I'm hoping this will get it done. Serious signs don't work either, at least this way they will stop to read the funny long enough for me to tell them to stay the f%^& out. lol.
