Back Story:
Ever since I was first introduced to MGMT roughly two years ago (by my co-blogger, naturally!), I happened to become significantly more cognisant of all of the different signs out there that informed customers of broken toilets, doors, or ketchup dispensers. Before MGMT, I had never looked past the "Please Use Other Door" to see the "Thanks, MGMT". Now, feeling like a completely different person, I started taking pictures of all of these signs with a gusto not known to many fans. I became a self-proclaimed shutterbug and used all of these pictures as my phone's wallpaper until I stumbled upon a new one. (And until my phone unfortunately died a few months ago.)
Real Story:
It all started a few days ago when I went to the local Subway near my job to pick up dinner for my aunt and I. It was there that I saw a sign posted on the glass about some coupon that they needed to be forewarned about before they could accept, and at the bottom of the page it said "Thank you MGMT". Sure, sure, it was missing a comma, but I still understood what they were saying and was dying to take a picture of it. Of course, I happened to arrive during the dinner rush and of course, there happened to be a large, creepy man to my right that was breathing down my neck, so taking the picture was out of the question. I was afraid that the employees would see me trying to take a picture of their lunch meats or something, so I just accepted the fact that there would be one less picture in my MGMT wallpaper collection.
A few days later, I arrived back at the same Subway and found myself quite lucky: no one was in line! As the unconcerned employees ignored me and giggled as they carved their names into a piece of cheddar cheese (not kidding), I enthusiastically pulled out my phone and made sure that I turned my phone volume down all the way. I channeled the cunning Nancy Drew and proceeded to snap a picture; all was well until about .2 seconds later when I heard my phone make a blaring noise, the pathetic attempt of a GoPhone trying to imitate a camera's shutter sound. Sure, I felt incredibly stupid and tried to act like I had no idea what my phone just did, and the employees just looked at me like I was a little insane. On a positive note, I got their attention and continued on in my journey in sandwich making.
Why This Is Relevant:
See, now that you've done all of this reading, you get a reward! Here's the picture I snapped. I might have suffered from an unbearable amount of humiliation, but it was definitely worth it. Note the chicken, roast beef, and salami in the background.
