Considering no-one in Sydney can apparently read a fricken large sign!
For some unknown reason people can not read. I alight my train every day at Central station in Sydney Australia. Now Sydney Central is a LARGE station by most train station standards in sydney, it has something like 25 or so train platforms, and they are quite long.
So to exit the platform (well my platform as it is above ground) you have to go down on of the set of stairs. Now there are four sets of stairs per platform, two exit and two entrance stairs. Now it is quite busy in the mornings and I understand you don't want to go to work or be catching public transport, but really can you read?
I mean without a doubt there is some stupid sod who can not read and pushes their way through the people exiting through the exit stairs. And I'm not just ranting, as in there are two regulars that use the stairs in the morning, one is a woman with I think Cerabal Palsey who uses the stairs, but she is not very mobile and can not walk to the other entrance, and the other is a blind gentleman, however he can not read the signs now can he.
But the other appearingly non disabled people blindly push through, and it so frustrates me, especially when this one woman pushes past me then turns and gives me cat butt face as if to say "why are you not getting out of my way?".
However one younger man decided the other day to do the one thing I never could. He yelled loudly that these were exit stairs and they should not be walking up them. Whilst I agreed he however was using language and a tone which was not helpful.
But seriously can people learn to read? I mean the signs are over a meter high!
