Bistrophobie Poster

Can a poster shut people up? Locals in a bistro-dense corner of Paris would like to think so. According to Time Out Paris there’s a fued between some residents of a bisto-dense neighborhood and the proprieters. The late-night bistro owners have come up with the term “bistrophobe” to describe their complaining neighbors, the neighbors in turn have taken to putting up posters to remind patrons to be quiet.
