Broken: Harvard Business School reunion sign
Sign seen at the Harvard Business School alumni reunion 2003, directing alumni to lunch. (How does anyone read this sign? Are they supposed to get food at all?)
Thanks to Good Experience reader Phil Terry.
The only reason the sign looks broken is because of the lack of continuity in division, arrow placement and information. A better sign would have had thicker lines dividing the different types of information, and would have had all of the arrows on one side (right side is preferred) and all the informational text on the other.
yea... the three different sections are separated by lines. it may look confusing at first but after 0.01 milliseconds you SHOULD understand it. hopefully.

I didn't go to Harvard, so I guess I'm not smart enough to begin to understand this sign. My urge would be to go left.
