Broken: Commuter train warning
Sign on a Long Island Rail Road commuter train (which goes in and out of New York City).
This entry is amusing. But it also serves as a reminder about the mindset we must take in communications to our customers. We need to view the message from their end, and with their knowledge and experience.
I think what it really should tell us is that the need to proof work before ot goze publik is essenshal to kwality; un42nately, many, companies, do not, do that.
so do i!
i think it's a typographical error, rather than the usual overly-regulated government warnings. this is just nonsensical.
and, i doubt labels pertaining to electrical things should even *mention* electrocution, even in the anti-electrocution sense.
People are getting so lazy nowadays that they don't even bother to actively try to electrocute themselves, they have to go into a train lavatory and be passively electrocuted.
Having taken 480 phase to phase across the chest, I find the piddlin' 120 Volt stuff does no more than relieve my arthritus for a couple days. What's all the hub-bub, Bub?
Kinda like how Inflammable means the same as flammable isnt it? when you would think that inflammable would = not flammable.. but still passive electrocution feature is a little weird LOL
