At work, the main doors are locked at 11pm. There is a side door available and Security or I can let people in through it. There are two white signs on the main automatic doors that say "Please use other door" with an arrow pointing in the direction of the door.
...
Any smart person would step up to that set of doors, read it and go to the door, right? Wrong. With the signs near to eye level and impossible to miss, people STILL not only stand there in wait for the doors to open, but they try to force them open when they don't open automatically, blatantly IGNORING the signs.
Even staff, who know the doors are locked at 11, seem confused by the lack of opening doors.
I am convinced people are just bloody idiots and can't read or use the brain they were given to figure things out. It's too much like self-work and they need someone else to tell/show them WTF a sign for "please use other door" is.
