Here's your sign...

The Stupidity of the Human Race....

Well, I didn't think that after my days at L.L. Bean had ceased I would have to deal with old people not being able to see signs again. Fear not! I am sitting in the fitness center right now and have been since 1. There is an event downstairs in the gym tonight...a spelling bee? I am not sure what it is supporting, or why there are about 100 old people meandering in here, but it is entertaining none the less. Today Rich and Mike came in and put up a GIANT sign above the door to downstairs ( I'm serious...it is 3 ft x 4ft ) that says "ARGOSY GYMNASIUM" and then has a giant arrow pointing DOWN. tell me HOW you can miss that? I really don't understand. So most people come in, and after a few minutes of confusion either a) figure it out or b) give up and take the elevator. I was blessed however to get to witness the search by one old couple. They came down the big staircase (so they were staring DIRECTLY at the sign) got to the bottom and looked in every direction. First they went down the hall where the locker rooms are, looked through the window down into the gym, came back. Then they went out towards the back door, where the staircase is, and not only did they look under the stairs to see if thats where the other set was...but they stood and staired at the floor as if another set of stairs was going to miraculously appear. Then they stood at the HUB for about 5 minutes. Finally they came in here and asked where the stairs to the gym were....and I told them. "Oh, there they are" the woman replied....with that I say..SERIOUSLY? seriously? so special. I am not kidding you people, this was at least an 8 minute search for the door. It isn't that big of an area to look people. Good lord. People are stupid. The end.
