Confusing Signage - Literacy Test

| | Comments (5)
Most people have literacy problems. They won't admit to it, but they don't really understand a lot of what they see before them. Can you imagine if all toilets were to start using this style of signage? (click to enlarge) toilet signs

More people have "stupidity" problems than "literacy" problems. Usually the people responsible for the signs - one popular night spot in WX marks the doors "M" and "W", and of course someone decided to wreak some havoc by turning the signs through 180 degrees...

I don't know if it's literacy or stupidity ...

I've found, however, that people do not read simple instructions.
