English FAIL Blog

Really? Really? Does anyone who works there ever go in or out of their own store? Really?

I passed by this store yesterday and the confused masses were stuck not knowing what to do

And it’s a PULL, which is always a problem, even without the enter/do not enter dilemma.

I bet the other side is a PULL too!

Too funny!

So can I enter or not? Argh! Too much stress and confusion! Brain aneurysm!

They’re clearly not interested in attracting business.

Their use of English appears to be in order, though, making them a strange candidate for this blog.

Is that the East Windsor Target? I swear they have the same fail going on there too.

Stop makeing fune of arr sygnes.

*head explodes*

The doors at the Target in my town look like this, too. I *think* that the doors they intend for the customers to use are on the left and right of this door (not seen in the picture). They open automatically.
The middle door, that you see in this picture, is not an automatic door. It’s the door the employees use when they are pushing the long train of store carts from the parking lot. They don’t want customers to use it, which is why they have the Do Not Enter sign, I guess. Customers are supposed to use the automatic doors.
But yeah, it does look funny.

I hate to throw a spanner here, but this is actually a contradiction win.

It would be a contradiction fail if both signs said ‘enter’ or both signs said ‘do not enter’.

But as the signs do actually contradict each other. I.e. the signs succeeded at contradicting themselves. Therefore this is a ‘contradiction win’.

Rowan, you make a good point, but you are thinking logically. You can not apply logic to a situation such as this.

This is obviously a deliberate plot to make people’s heads explode.. >>
