When the people at Sign Fabricators (Clinton Township, MI) couldn’t get a client to pay up, the company did what it does best, it made a sign.

After the customer gave months of excuses for his lack of payment, the folks at Sign Fabricators threatened, numerous times, to take back their sign. Finally, not only did they take the sign back, they replaced it with a banner decrying the deadbeat client (hey, they still had to get paid, didn’t they?). Surprise, surprise, the client contacted them shortly afterward and is now paying off the sign.
