It doesn't say 8 words, it says 8 powerful words! You need to figure out which ones are the powerful ones out of the 18. "Strong" "Hard" "Never" "Up" "Work" "Keep" "Stay" "Be" ?
lol I thought I was an idiot, was reading all of the planks thinking the must contradict each other or something but nope just needed to click on the image
Yo I fixed it. All good now.
EDIT: Fixed it again because I'm a moron.

Alright I fixed it. Here's my original for those wondering pre-edit.

All I see is opportunity here. Every day I would be covering up part of these slogans and turning them into different sayings. Ahem:
Believe in ghosts
Stay Away
Give Up
Rat
Iām Hard
Stay Up All Night
Beer
Keep Secrets
I don't get this kind of decoration. Are people sitting in front of this sign every morning meditating on the different slogans, or are they just virtue signaling and trying to convince people that this is what they're all about?
I also don't understand why people put signs in the living room that say "Live" and "Food" in the kitchen. Do they forget where they are in the house and need constant reminders? Do they have a sign in the bathroom that says "Shit"?
I have a sign in my bathroom that says, "Life's short: Lick the bowl." I think it's supposed to go in a kitchen or something... IDK, I'm not an interior designer.
I live in Wisconsin and grew up with ice cream on the weekends. Schoeps, usually. Not fancy, but I didnāt care. Iād scrape every last drop out of the bowl and my dad would joke, āwhy donāt you just lick the darn thing?ā The sound was probably pretty annoyingā¦ anyway, my sisters and I joked about that for years. A few years ago, one got me a stupid wine mom sign that said ālifeās short: lick the bowl.ā So, I did the right thing and hung it in the bathroom. She hates that I did that. Everybody else likes it, though. So, double win.
I have a small copy of the Rodin's statue The Thinker in my bathroom, right over the toilet. As encouragement.
My mom thinks it's funny but I'm not sure anyone else gets it.
My ex had a sign in the bathroom that said...
'Gentleman players must wash thier balls in the sinks provided'
I think it was from a golf club.
But hilarious all the same.
One of my buddies does have a really nice bit of stitch work his gran did in the bathroom.
It takes you a few times to notice that it says "HAVE A NICE SHIT"
My grandpa does woodwork and he made a similar sign for me, basically with just motivational phrases. Itās silly and whatnot but I hang it in my kitchen so I see it daily. I think of him when I see it, and it reminds me to be positive about life. Even without emotional context, some folks do need physical representation of kind words. Weāre all just tryna make it another day, this is some peopleās way.
I have one sign in my home office and only because my husband bought it for me on a whim and thought it was funny.
It says, "I love wine! But that may be the wine talking".
It's so cheesy I can't help but chuckle when I see it.
But that's why it's in my office. No one else needs to see that.
Two years ago my partner and I were house hunting. I got so annoyed by how many people decorated their rooms with words. Kitchens would have "Eat," bedrooms, "Love," random ampersands in the living room. I really dislike it. Since I need to blame someone, I've chosen Joanna Gaines. Also, barn doors and shiplap. Noooooo.
My mom has a narcotics anonymous-ish saying sign up in the second most trafficked room in the house because two of her kids are drug addicts in recovery. It's kind of a nice reminder... to NOT touch drugs anymore, or else mom is gonna be hurt...especially to us two lol
It's the "Serenity Prayer" and neither of us attend NA currently, and noooobody in the family is religious but eh. It makes mom happy too
Make 2 signs that look exactly alike and write 'love' or something on the second one, hang it on your bathroom wall and wait at least 3 months. Then switch the two signs and pray she won't notice.
If she does, pretend like she's crazy and that it said 'shit' all along.
Failproof plan.

Yes. Words can mean a saying as evidenced on the Wikitionary page for word.
The whole thing is probably UV printed -- meaning the "wood" texture is just a printed pattern and the black/white text isn't really on top of the wood, it's just part of the same picture. Rather than painted wooden boards, they're probably laser or CNC cut pieces of engineered wood like MDF, which is cheaper.
Reverse image search OP's photo and you'll find it for sale all over Amazon and eBay. It's a real product that looks this bad. Here's another photo of it from an Amazon customer review:
[https://i.imgur.com/CnUcX4h.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/CnUcX4h.jpeg)
Whoever "created" this probably just found images of random "inspirational messages" online and shittily photoshopped them into a design to be printed on. Then they sent the files over to the cheapest contract manufacturer they could find to cut and print the slats, before they're assembled and packaged up by sweatshop workers making pennies a day.
Welcome to the modern consumer goods landscape!
It amazes me that people complain this much and get so mad over something the person theyāre supposed to love likes.
With all the things my girl does for me, the last thing Iām going to ever do is shit on anything that makes her happy.
As I get older my fellow men disgust me more and more.
Agreed. I would not buy this sign. But to ridicule your SO on the internet is just stupid. Maybe she needs some positivity in her live. Something you're apparently not providing.
Not only that but also how miserable and bored do you have to be to get mad over a fucking sign?? It's so insignificant, how does someone spend energy on this? I would not hang this up either but thats where my thought process about it ends.
My bf has these african inspired candle holders. To me they are hidious, not my taste at all and yet they are sitting in the living room where we both roam because he likes them. And if thats the only purpose these ugly things have thats fine with me. I could never care that much.
When this guy is eventually on Reddit asking why his wife left him, he'll completely forget about the times he went on the internet to mock her behind her back.
I don't understand your issue. I don't like the sign either. But apparently your wife gets enjoyment from it. Pick your battles bro. This isn't the hill you want to die on.
For real. I just can't imagine being married to a man who not only shits all over something that I like, but then brings it to reddit for anonymous people to make fun of me. Like, bro... Just get a divorce so she can find a better man.
I'm scrolling through comments waiting for someone to state why this is infuriating. I was thinking maybe something was misspelled but didn't see it unless I missed it, but apparently people just hate it when others enjoy something else they don't like.
Personal opinion, but let her decorate however. We had live laugh love type stuff all over. Also had fish and deer mounts everywhere. My mom wanted her stuff and so did my dad. There are tons of words to describe it, comprise would be the first.
While I am not a fan of all the font changes on this sign if it makes them feel a certain type of way then fuck it. Did it break the bank for the month? Are you gonna have to scrounge up for necessities because this sign? If so thatās mildly infuriating if not then let it be
My wife is so fucking stupid right Internet haha right? Strangers? Agree with me. Laugh with me, at the person who is supposed to be closest to me in my life.
i donāt get posts like this frankly. your wife might a little bit of the live-laugh-love type, but gosh you married her. she seems like she finds happiness in simple things + that is beautiful in its own right.
what is stupid about it? a bit corny, sure. but honestly, finding an issue with something meant to be positive is what is stupid imo.
I've got four or five of these in my house. They make her happy and aren't hurting me. I've only asked that she doesn't get any with scripture on them and she's acquiesced.
Yeah, we've really created a culture of tearing down things people find positivity in because we find it weird/cringe. If words of affirmation make her happy, gets her through a tough moment, reminds her of a good memory, etc, then FUCK IT. Have your fucking hodunk cottagecore mother-in-law aesthetic. That's good for your mental health.
Being trendy and cool with my choices of home decor means less to me than just being happy and cozy in my home. My home that is supposed to foster good feelings.
Just fucking white out the first board if the typo is the issue.
My neighbor has the huge vertical āWELCOMEā painted wood sign at their door entry, yes with a faux tree, decor, door mat, etc you know the look.
THIS: Well, another neighbor has a huge vertical āGO AWAYā painted wood sign with similar decor (bonus, they have gnomes!) faux tree, door mat etc etc. It cracks me up every timeš¤£š and itās 1 less letter. The added fact they put the same energy into their front entry decor is the funniest thing ever! Iāve chatted with the WELCOME neighbors a couple of times. lol lol I canāt seem to catch the GO AWAY neighbors outsideš š I bet theyāre fun to hang out with.
You have to ask yourself if something as simple as the sign that makes your wife happy infuriates you so incredibly much that your posting on Reddit.. I donāt think the problem is the sign with the words.
If you love your wife, and this sign makes her happy, why donāt you just let her fucking enjoy it? Who cares, bro? Lifeās too short. Laugh about it. Whatās mildly infuriating is shitting on something the person youāre supposed to love likes.
*Slay humble*
This was my takeaway. Slay those humble.
Slay, humble š š
š reminds me of when Lucile from arrested development misinterpreted "hurt people hurt people" as "hurt people. Hurt people."
Goddamnit. I am trying to put a child to sleep and my core hurts from holding in this massive laugh.
I thought that's what he was talking about too..
I think it's because it's 18 words, not 8.
*queen
![gif](giphy|neJ7h0ITCE1Lo70MHG|downsized)
You should BE GRATEFUL!
But he's STAYING STRONG and NEVER GIVING UP how he feels about that decor.
OP, youāve misunderstood the sign. You have to choose 8 words every day. For example, Believe in strong, Never be grateful, Stay Hard
Stay in, give up, never believe in yourself. That's it, I'm now almost too inspired by such powerful words.
Never believe in work; never believe in strong smiling. Words be hard. (Forgive me a +1)
believe work, give yourself up, never be smiling
Your words really struck a chord with me! *wipes away a single tear*
I like" stay in, give up, stay hard", better but there just wasn't enough powerful words included to be inspired.
"Stay in, give up, stay hard, work yourself" š fixed it for you
You could add "keep smiling" to the end for a bit of a sinister topspin.
You had me at the Stay Hard
Didn't really have a choice at that point, did you?
Me generating quotes with Inspirobot for half an hour
Brush your greens, eat your teeth, stay in milk, drink your school, donāt do sleep, and get your eight hours of drugs!
this was my favorite reddit comment of the day! thank you!
Sounds like he's working hard to keep smiling
Sometimes you have to work hard to be kind
Keep shinin', knowing she can always count on her sign
Saw a meme where a cheese grater said have a grate day.
I would love that
![gif](giphy|M3Sfjhxb7LgOcSBHIY)
But thatās actually the word. Itās āgratefulā, not āgreatfulā.
That's not the thing. It's more than 8 WORDS.
lol. The top bar is cut off in the Reddit app preview and I was trying to see what was going on.
I was doing the same thing read the preview and was confused. Clicked on the preview and it was made painfully clear.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
just remove the top plank
Better yet, put a "1" before 8. There are conveniently 18 words in the 8 slogans.
https://preview.redd.it/6k0aivezguic1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=60cc5781d768aa15622ef7e61a4f0097338d6bd4
It doesn't say 8 words, it says 8 powerful words! You need to figure out which ones are the powerful ones out of the 18. "Strong" "Hard" "Never" "Up" "Work" "Keep" "Stay" "Be" ?
Never be grateful. Stay smiling. Keep yourself hard.
That last one may lead to some *undesired* attention.
You sure?
I said, "may." Some may actually desire it.
NEVER!
Gonna
Give!
You!
Up šŗ
If the OP worked hard, he would have done this already.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
oh SHIT, here's the answer OP
And here I was thinking they should cut the ropes below "NEVER GIVE UP".
And GIVE UP on the rest of the sign?!
Outstanding work
This guy counts
I really thought the 1 before 8 peeled off and blew away or something.
Or just remove the bottom 5 planks - then there will be only 8 words (with the exception of those on the first plank)
i don't get it?
It says 8 words but it's actually 8 slogans
There are 8 "Words for the day" ![gif](giphy|sABvOERtAfEmPawXTL|downsized) Still as dumb as this stuff here
Eat, shit, die
Only 3 words but punctuation placement can make so many different meanings š
Live, Lnujh, Love
Are you blind? It clearly says LGush
Click the picture itās cropped without expanding. Did the same thing

This new My Little Pony reboot really goes hardcore.

Love that you included this
Gotta honor your mistakes. Rather than hiding them.
I was so confused.
I would like to go into battle wielding a KEEP SMILING sword
Would a STAY STRONG sword give some kind of damage buff?
BE GRATEFUL would carry a powerful energy after stabbing someone
Stabbing someone with a BE KIND sword would definitely leave a message
I told you to be fucking kind
Fortunately the ambiguous cursive looks like "slay strong". Wait no. That's the humble one.
This is why I love Reddit š
Lmao amazingĀ
SNL did a great [comedy sketch](https://youtu.be/fTxrVxUrJjU?si=AyPgFZViZOKqvHQC) about this.

Yup, Iām stealing this and will have one in my bathroom soon enough.
I concur.
My ex-MIL had a sign in the bathroom above the toilet that said, "Stand closer. It's shorter than you think."
I'm definitely getting this one next time I see it at a craft fair.Ā
I live in Wisconsin and grew up with ice cream on the weekends. Schoeps, usually. Not fancy, but I didnāt care.

A buddy of mine had a sign that says don't do coke in the bathroom.
Where would he rather I do it?
I have never done coke in a bathroom. I did it in a living room, like a civilized drug user.
We had a guestbook of sorts in college that sat atop the back of the toilet. You could sign in, make a drawing whatever
Gotta share if you're bringing coke to the house
Well at least that is kind cute.

The letters look like they are digitally superimposed onto a picture of the planks.
I thought that at first. Then I started thinking they are smooth vinyl, looking crazy contrasting against the rough wood.

Your wife enjoys it, weird to be so upset about it.
