OKAY, soo OMG have noo clue what is going on with people!! Before I begin please forgive me if I come off the wrong way and offend anyone.
But what is wrong with people these days?!?! I work in an office for a University and we give out stickers for free public transportation. One sticker will allow you unlimited rides for a whole semester. These stickers are automaticly mailed to every student.
People kept coming in asking about them and we must repeat every 2 minutes that the stickers are mailed! People kept asking so we posted up BRIGHT red signs stating the stickers are mailed... They are proped up on the counter right in front of me and some people still dont bother reading...so we posted even Bigger and Brighter yellow signs hanging off the counter stating the same thing...we put signs on front door! We put signs on the counter.... our freakin office looks like a rainbow, each sign stating the exact same thing.... and PEOPLE STILL dont read... I dont get it!!!

I, too, have held many jobs at the front desk of various offices, and I couldn't believe it either, how people just don't read signs. I used to work at a mortgage company for people with bad credit, and the big sign on my desk, as well as the confirmation phone call we gave them the night before their appointment, would have a list of things they needed to have with them to complete their financial information packet, and more than half of them wouldn't have it. It's really annoying to have to repeat yourself all day long, especially when there's a big sign right there saying the same thing. I feel your pain!!!

The same reason we ask YA instead of looking it up ourselves. We like to be told personally.

cause people are so focused on themselves they don't bother to look around and see if the answer is right in front of them.. but then again sometimes people are just oblivious.
