“Graffiti on a support wall under an overpass that reads:

“‘What kind of paint are you using to paint over this? Because if it is latex, it's probably way too cold for it. You want good adhesion, you need like at least 40°-45°. Maybe wait till it warms up a little. I mean, what's the big rush? Like, I'm in a rush now, but our situations are different.’
