This would be a nightmare in a middle or elementary school classroom 🤣

I have worked at a sign shop as the graphic designer... I have seen this pic on the web multiple times. It is a fake (the huge space between "do" & "it") OR the person ordering it thought they knew more than the designer and asked/forced for this layout... and has gotten sh!p for it ever since.

I just let my eyes wander and it doesn't appear solvable by any other route. If we start at the exit (bottom right) and work back, we'll end up at a dead end on the upper left. Going the other way around, a dead end just above the entry.

They were going to use this in that TNG episode, but Picard yelling "There are SIX bananas" just didn't have the same gravitas as lights...

This is an example of how bored graphic designers find joy in the little things in life! This is after when they first started they tried to explain it would be better to rotate the words and have the sentence start from the eraser end... and being told absolutely not! I am paying for it and want it THIS WAY! We learn to let the customer BE RIGHT when they insist...

Well, the toilet and urinal on the right would be the most akward. Not a fan of any of it, though.

Too bad bananas don't come in some sort of skin or peel that would protect it from the external environment. Such a shame we have to use plastic.

That doesn't sound like a statement from Ming the Merciless.

I really REALLY hate all the extremely basic "toes in the sand" decals people put on their Jeeps. It's always the same people.
