A few simple "no brainer" rules that, if we'd all follow them, would make posting/reading paper ads/notices a much more pleasant and peaceable experience for everyone involved.
The "perfect five" rules of community bulletin-board etiquette:
(1) Each poster should be limited to one message per board, unless he is posting two or more "unrelated" ads/notices.
(2) Notices should be a maximum size of an 8-1/2X11 sheet of paper --- don't selfishly hog a whole gigantic portion of board-space with those 0%!$&@# huge-a** blaze-orange/fuchsia/chartreuse banner-sheets from da Dollar Tree's art-paper bin!
(3) Only attach notices to a blank portion of the board --- don't imperiously plaster your poster over everyone else's, regardless of whether you think your message is so much more all-fired important! If there’s insufficient room, make at least a half-a** effort to solve the problem rationally/fairly --- shift other people's sheets around on the board to form a "tighter" grouping, seek out and remove any "obsolete" (event-dates that have already passed) messages, etc.
(4) Don’t use the last “empty” thumbtack/pushpin on the board, or snitch one from someone else’s page! If the supply of available fasteners is running low, add a few tacks/pins of your own! Plus if you see someone else’s poster dangling/flapping by just one corner, pin it back up again.
(5) Choose a spot on the board that’s appropriate to your ad’s subject/urgency. If it’s about a lost/found valuable, super-important event, or desperately-needed item, place the ad near the center of the board. But if it’s merely a “for sale” ad or general notice, place it near the board's top/bottom/sides.

Get the community bulletin-board etiquette mug.When getting setup with a CPAP machine for sleep apnea, a provider may put out many different types of used CPAP Masks that have been used by hundreds of people to see which one fits best for the person. It's an effort designed to prevent opening up new masks constantly to cut on costs.
My dad went to the medical supply store to get setup with a CPAP Machine. When they put out the CPAP Buffet, he asked for a new mask.

Get the Roundy Buffet mug.A pussy bullet is a bullet lodged in a person’s body part that had very little damage, or did not do any harm at all. The term is mostly used by the shot person to mock the shooter’s skills.
Shooter: What? how are you alive? I literally shot you
The shot person: You cannot properly kill a person? You got me with a pussy bullet
