Fuck You Mr Shampoo's

These are trees. They are living things. We put a lot of effort and money into putting them there.

Don't pretend for a second that this is not harming them.

All around the intersection of 8th and Carroll in Park Slope.

and what the hell is with that "'s"?

    Does a staple or two really harm a tree? They're pretty resilient, and I don;t think they can feel pain.

    i think the apostrophe 's' is to show possession of the 'carpet cleaning and upholstery service.'

    the tree is young, but i highly doubt those staples will allow for any pest damage, cause a canker, or kill the tree.

    but it is an annoying thing to see.

    Oh, God- they did this in my neighborhood in CH about a month ago. I ripped them all down out of irritation and was going to call them and chew them out, but life took over and I never did.

    Got their number? I'll do it now...

    guys it does nothing to trees. the outer bark is like our nails or hair.

    Neither of which would feel good if stapled through.

    Those are big staple and young trees with thin bark.

    It's disgusting and quite frankly, bad manners. If people can't stand flyers under there doors, or on their windshields, etc, why would you want some nimrod to staple it on your tree?

    As long as it wasn't Mr. Bubble. Then we may have issues.
