I love signs, graffiti and street art in general.

The other day, I was taking pictures of a mural in Chinatown when something scribbled in the corner of the painting caught my eye. I was expecting to read the signature of the artist or some info on the art, but instead, I saw this message:

“I work at Dunns market and we piss in the pickles.”

Dunn’s is a 24/7 deli in the very touristy Byward Market neighbourhood. I don’t think I have ever eaten there (I’m not a huge fan of smoked meat sandwiches and other standard deli fares) but if I ever do… well, pickles on the side. Or no pickles at all actually.

I submitted this picture to Passive Aggressive Notes—I think both the note and the…ahem, handling of food qualify as “passive-aggressive”!

    On the bright side, if people ever again make you feel guilty, you can always say “yeah, but at least I don’t piss in the pickles!” I’m pretty sure most people would get the idea that their comments are not appreciated ;).

      😆 That’s for sure! (the logistic of peeing on pickles baffles me to?!)
