You'll notice none of these doors for Kyobo Books is an actual in door. They're all marked with red Xs, meaning they're out doors. The in doors have blue arrows. Now, back during the good ol' days, Koreans never actually seemed to care. They just went for whichever door they didn't have to open themselves, even if it was a door clearly marked as "no go" and there was someone just steps away from attempting to use the door for its marked purpose.
But now they've gone and marked all the doors as "don't use, tard, because they're out doors". For the Canadians and Swiss in Korea who believe in a rigid adherence to signs, indicated paths, and properly marked doors, the sight just plain freezes you in your tracks. Even worse if you turn around to exit, you find three of the four doors behind you are likewise marked as "not for egress." Fortunately, one door permits egress.
Lordy. |
