    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."

    There is an active underground of officials who satirise their own signs. I've seen a photo of a sign which says "It is forbidden to throw stones at this sign".

      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? This person has a PhD degree in computer engineering, and works for a big computer company in Houston, TX.

        It was the use of the insult feminazi that suggested it. Perhaps you've been infected with Rush Limbaugh's Disease? :-D

          Don't forget that people are stupid :P I deal with stupid people every day, as a help desk staff member at my local College...

            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:

            They're actually more tasty if you do eat them frozen.
