An easy example, have you seen any doors which have a pullable handle on the door you are supposed to push? People try to pull them open. Building owners put up sign saying push but people keep trying to pull. Real solution, remove handle install plate. Plate is likely cheaper and will prevent the issue but alot of building owners don’t think of that, they just keep putting up bigger signs saying to push. Yeah if I ask you for are you supposed to push or pull and there are signs you will obviously know. It’s 730am, you are running late because daycare had a long line to drop off off your kids, you decide you can still get a coffee from your favorite shop, as you’re ordering your boss calls asking where you are because X is down, you try to talk yourself out of being yelled out as you walk out out of the coffee shop, you see handle, you pull. You have 150 things in your head, you don’t want to add in sign reading, you see handle you pull handle. You spill coffee all over yourself because it’s a push door. Now that coffee shop has a bad memory in your head. You may not directly connect it to the handle but that’s the true cause. The local shop loses some business, your mornings are no longer as nice, everyone loses.
But now you know that you will see this everywhere…
