Emergency Exit!

I tried to leave a store a few days ago. As I approached the front doors – of which I had a vivid memory of entering through, not 15 minutes prior – I halted briefly because of the following warning printed on the door:

PUSH OPEN IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

So I stopped for a moment. After I paused just long enough to realize that the doors weren’t going to open by themselves(which also happens to be just long enough to look dumb,) I pushed the doors open and went on my way.

Later, I thought, “That’s a pretty lousy sign for a door.” I decided that it should actually read:

PUSH OPEN IN CASE OF EMERGENCY OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON.
