Bit of a necrobump but I only just spotted this thread

 

 

imagine if the handle was a bit - errr - difficult - and you had to jiggle it a bit to get it to open

 

just how wrong would that feel???

.

 

Now that makes perfect sense - it was probably checked by my wife - or her sister

 

My wife has a tendency to do 2 rather 'difficult' things when giving directions

 

a) get left and right mixed up

 

b) point -with her hand in front of her

 

 

so - when we need to turn left at a junction - she has been known - many times to point to her left with her right hand in front of her when I am - as I am driving - looking forward

and say 'go right'

 

 

which can be confusing

 

 

the best directions - not unique - are when you come to a junction (normally at a roundabout) and she says

 

Down

 

 

or Up

 

 

her sister does the same

 

 

 

which is also confusing

 

 

 

 

(in case you are wondering what on Earth (or any other known planet) they are thinking

 

it is the first word of an instruction saying' down that one' - up that one'

 

but they only get the first word out then stop

 

which is rather difficult to interpret at times)

 

 

 

so - basically - that sign makes sense to me - I am used to the concept

...and you’ve also learned that resistance (aka correcting or arguing) is futile.

PS. Not used to posting in these nether regions of the forum - are we as likely to get turned into frogs here as in General Chat or BTRD?

 

It is the risk that makes it exciting!!!!!

Cyber WHAT??!

 

Apart from being crass on a superficial level, surely SOMEONE in govt coud get the less salubrious connotation?

I saw this and wondered what others in IT would think of it.

 

I think it's a bit demeaning and insulting to IT professionals to be honest.
