Chair under construction. Please sit down later
– posted July 4th, 2007 by Colman Walsh No comments
I have seen this chair in a meeting room over the past several months. The sign is clear and well written. But the problem-solving approach reminds me of those “under construction” icons that can still be seen on some professional websites.
Surely a better use of the sign-writer’s time would have been to remove the chair from the room, or even get it fixed.
The sign, like the icons, hopes to convey a sense of progress; that something is being done. In reality, nothing is happening. The chair is just taking up space, and potential users are left bemused.
