Gerhard Oosthuizen shared some food for thought:
"Well as far I can see the work was done very professionally, it's neat, it was perfectly painted...so he just can't spell... sure nowhere in the job description it said that they needed someone with good writing skills. Question should be, where the hell is his manager...sleeping in a bush somewhere?"
Wenesia Sabatino approved of the worker's attitude:
"Well he got a good sense of humour about his mistake come on he could be suffering from dislecsi I love his response and the giggle it's Afrikaans."
Champion Manyiwa identified the silver lining when he said,
"He dd a great job all drivers s won't ignore 2 stop, because they will want 2 read this. Many drivers cause accidents because they avoid stop signs.. Well done."
