I’m Looking for Room 833

I recently took a motorcycle safety course at a local community college and happened upon one of the most bizarrely useless directional signs I’ve ever seen.

Remember, I’m looking for room 833 in the 800 building. I found the 800 building on the map, and this is what I see when I get there.

building 800

Where the hell was I supposed to go?? I had no idea. Standing there, dumbfounded and reaching for my camera phone, I could only wonder how such a sign could possibly come into existence. Did no one say “hey, Jeff, this sign doesn’t make any damn sense!” during any stage of development? WTF is wrong with these people? This is an institution of higher learning!

I did eventually find my class, with no help from this absurd sign.

    For an institution of higher learning, you think they’d teach their students to spell absurd correctly.

    Burn!

    You think they’d teach people how to spell absurd at this institution of higher learning.

    I once saw a sign at the Library of Congress that read “No Dog allowed except see eye dogs.” My whole issue with that sign is, if you are blind how the fuck are going to see it anyway? Last I checked your dog sure as hell couldn’t read either.

    Uh, if you’re blind, you’re cool to bring your dog, no need to see the sign.. If you CAN see the sign, you’re not blind and need to leave your dog elsewhere.. Seems to make sense to me.
    :P

    that is hysterical. just hysterical. and i’m glad for camphones, they are so handy in situations that require absurdity be recorded.
