I'm getting mixed signals here
-
Btw, you could perform CSI image enhancement on the reflection and get a picture of my face.

Sounds like work, couldn't you just include the location in the exif data? That's the way everybody does it while taking pictures of their workplace.
-
At least now we strip exif

Probably not the ideal photo to give the nsa

The thing is, I was kind of hoping someone would give it a try.

Why are you wearing shorts when it's raining?...

This is Finland.
I'm not quite sure I understand your question...?
It wasn't even snowing.

Then that is an impressive amount of cocain on that picture!

Mixed signals? I'm getting "do not set R2-D2 on fire by flicking your butts into his mouth; grind them out on his head instead" which seems fairly unproblematic.
-
You got this all wrong. I tihnk the thing that confuses @eor is the doublekebab for 6 bucks! Like, who would want to buy two kebabs at once? That just doesn't make sense!
Thats also the reason he is wearing shorts in the rain! The artist wants to point at the fact that life is not always about taking the easy route but sometimes even go against the flow!Filed Under: A masterpiece of photography, really

Looks to me like the intended signal is 'no smoking inside; put out your cigarette here'.

*does CSI image enhancement*
*not sure she did it right*
-
EEEP!
/me hides under desk
-

Yeah, I think you should have gone for the reflection in the ashtray rather than an extreme closeup on the kebabs.
-
Well, I tried my CSI-fu but it's just not very good...no facial recognition on this. The raindrops probably didn't help.
If we knew where it was, we could probably get your height though, and a decent guess as to your weight.
-

Anyway I don't get the WTF here. There's no smoking, so if you're smoking, dispose of the cigarette here. These are all over in the Seattle area.

I particularly liked the "rotate 75 degrees" at 1:09
This is more like the stuff I was looking for though.

Wait what. If there's no smoking, there should be no disposing of cigarettes, right?

Maybe people lit up before they walked into the area where smoking's prohibited.
Maybe people are imperfect and not computer cyborg automatons that follow every piece of local legislation with 100% precision.
Maybe some janitor was too lazy to move the trash can so he just stuck a sticker on it.
-

So, then you just go back to wherever smoking is allowed.

This might be a side effect of living in a country where everything is either mandatory or forbidden, but most often, smoking is not allowed here unless explicitly stated. Since littering is also frowned upon, an ashtray is the most obvious way of indicating a smoking area. Smoking is not allowed inside any restaurant anymore which is why they keep ashtrays outside in the first place.

Maybe some people choose to do that.
WELCOME TO THE INFINITE POSSIBILITIES OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR.
I'm done talking to you.

Whoa, that middle enhancement was good. I tried to use Gimp; you must have used something much heavier than that (or else you're better at it than I am). Hints?

...you can compress a disk drive to 1 bit...and expand it later, no problemo.

I used Paint.NET, held the shift key down, then dragged the resize handle down and to the right.
I'm guessing the problem here is simply that GIMP is a piece of shit.

No, I suspect it was the user who was...well...I won't say that, instead let's go with incompetent.

Negative image sizes after compression. May result in data loss. But not the image data, at least.
-

Looks like it had some sort of smoothing filter applied, tuned to make it look a bit like what happens when you enlarge a photograph on film a lot.

Downloaded original photo. Cropped out a section with GIMP:
Scaled to 229px high for comparison:
Looks about the same as your Paint.net version to me.

Maybe @CoyneTheDup didn't start with the full-resolution original.

Why is this a WTF? IMHO it's obvious. Don't dispose cigarettes in the trash can (that is, the lower part, with the symbol), as there's a specific ash-tray on top. As throwing it in a trash can might start a fire, probably. Note the upper part doesn't have the same symbol.
-
We seriously have people white-knighting for GIMP? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU. GIMP isn't a person, you don't need to defend its honor.

Meh.
If you can argue for a Ribbon you like, I can argue for an image editor I like.

Would you rather I ground mine out on your head?

Why are you wearing shorts when it's raining?...
My skin dries faster than the fabric of most of my pants. If it's not a cold rain, I prefer to wear shorts.
-

Are you not used to this living in Newcastle?
Shorts in all weather, no?

Reminds me of a quote from Red Dwarf about Geordies:
@Dave Lister said:The kind of guy who wears a t-shirt in the middle of winter and his nipples don't even get hard.

NO WTF... just consider that there are still ashtrays on Airplanes (where smoking has been illegal for decades), just to handle the case where a person is an idiot and lights up [it happened on a flight I was on about 8 years ago - "nervous flier" had a brain fart.
-
there are still ashtrays on Airplanes
I've not seen any on planes for absolutely ages except when it was a plane that hadn't been refurbished for a very long time (and looked it in many ways).

"Brand new" Airbus 320, also 757 (with the upgrade so that the restroom doors are curved) for starters (as of last Saturday).
FAA Regulation: "Regardless of whether smoking is allowed in any other part of the airplane, lavatories must have self-contained, removable ashtrays located conspicuously on or near the entry side of each lavatory door, except that one ashtray may serve more than one lavatory door if the ashtray can be seen readily from the cabin side of each lavatory served."
So I really don't want to know what you are flying on....
-
So I really don't want to know what you are flying on...
Planes following EU regulations, which vary in this exact area so far as I can tell. Or maybe I just didn't notice the ash receptacles; I know I didn't the last time I flew with a US carrier (which would've been following FAA regs for sure).
Myself, I'd be more in favour of putting up signs saying that anyone smoking is volunteering for an immediate direct trip to ground/sea level. Without a parachute. I did like the suggestion I heard about (third hand) about an Australian carrier who said that anyone wishing to smoke could go and stand on the wings to do so…
