There is a childcare center near my house and I have to pass by the place everyday to get to the car park. The doors would be closed and on one of them was pasted a sign:
Please look out for children at the back of this door.
2 things came to my mind:
1) I've got to be careful, because children might jump out on me at anytime.... a very scary thought especially late at night.
2) How in the world am I supposed to look out for them when the door is closed and they are at the back of it? They'd be inside right? And I'd know there'll be children around because the door opens inwards into the center. (door open, children around... duh!)
Anyways, just feel that the sign could have been phrased better... maybe something like:
Please be mindful of children in the area ???
Well, the sign never fails to bring a smile to my face. Just imagine, having children appearing in front of you out of nowhere while you are walking.... reminds me of other countries where you can see signs like 'Deer crossing' or 'Beware of toads' at roadsides. Hehehe.
