Annoying signs...

Thank you Rajesh. That worked much better. We have a custom here involving a finger and spinning. I would be glad to show it to you some time. :P

A couple of years back, my wife and I stopped at a road side service station to use the facilities and get something to eat. When my wife went into the ladies room, there were urinals on the wall. She exited, checked the door, confirmed it said ladies room and re-entered. Then, she saw someone 'using' the urinal! She did what she had to do and left quickly. Since we can't remember exactly which service station it was, we avoid all service stations with the brand name... just to be on the safe side. Tim

In the USA they do the multiple signs because of lawsuits. The drive through banking automatic teller machines have braille, I know there are a lot of drivers who act blind but I hope they can see! You know its bad when they have signs on your power mower not to put your feet and hands where the blades are!

My friend and I just had a lengthy conversation about this the other day when I was going through the ATM. Just like on the package of Hot Pocekts...do not eat while frozen. Anyone with a little common sense could figure that one out :doh:

Those people are also smart enough to find excuses to weasel out of jury duty. Which means you've got a dozen idiots who could see themselves eating a frozen hot pocket because judging if the manufacturer is legally responsible for the idiot who broke a tooth on one that was frozen rock solid. :((

For some reason I'm reminded of the sign [far too rude to be mentioned here] outside the ladies in the North Sheilds fish-quay...... They've taken it down sadly :-(

feminazi's pushed them out in the 70's. Most places ripped them out shortly afterwards because noone used then and they took valuable stall space.

Well, me and the missus went to see the Registry Office for our little 'interview' so that we can give notice before we get married. Anyway, she goes off to speak to the most boring jobsworth women that ever walked the face of the earth and I'm looking at the reception counter, where there were 4 signs on how to press the buzzer for assistance. 4 bloody signs. There's a sign that states "Press buzzer for assistance", then there is a sign with a big fat arrow pointing down toward the buzzer on the counter, then there is another sign on the wall next to the arrow stating "Buzzer on counter", and then there is another sign on the counter informing us to "Press buzzer for assistance". I mean come on - WTF? I even burst out laughing at one point - and I'm not making this up - there was a sign on the door inside the mens loo's that states: "This toilet is for males only."

Actually, there is good reason for this. It is not unusual for a blind person to have a taxi driver take them to the drive up window. And a good many of those consider it demeaning (as well as a security risk) to have to turn over their card and pin to the driver to get some cash. If you look a little closer, most have a place to plug in headphones as well so that they can receive voice prompts. The cost of such is negligible when all of the ATMs have this feature.

My friend called his wife at work one day telling her that his fingers were cut by the mower blades because he was trying to clear the clogged discharge port while it was running -- he tied the handle with a rope to keep it running. The doctors had to try to reconnect the broken fingers. Now do you think the sign is necessary?

Are you kidding me? "Common sense" is not very common. If you've ever bought a new gun, the manufacturer has to put the following disclaimer in the accompanying literature (in similar words): "If you point this weapon at yourself or someone else and discharge it, serious injury or death can occur". I'm serious.

All those signs might indicate the staff’s level of frustration with public idiots. I remember back in my college days I used to work part time at a 24 hour convenience store. We had a self-serve microwave for hot food covered with multiple signs saying “don’t put metal in the microwave.” Despite that, 2 or 3 times every shift .... ZORT! ... “Hey, dude. I think there’s something wrong with your microwave.”
