Friday photo - Are we stupid?

I saw this on the ceiling of my hotel room a couple weeks back, while I was in Atlanta. It's a sprinkler and a warning sticker next to it.

Are we so stupid? I noticed that the ceiling of the room was atleast 8 to 10 feet.

Dear narayanan Venkitu:On a superficial plane and a casual look it might seem a little too much but see the coat hanger in the warning! Many people try to hang a coat or tie a rope in the slots of the water sprinkler meant for a fire emergency.I have seen people stuffin their undies in the flush!I have seen people removing the rope dividers causing the poles to fall down thus endangering others especially elders and the infirm.

Hi Narayanan, some people actually consider others to be first timers and stupid to the extent the picture you have put up, presents...even if we aren't so stupid,trust me people like that are there.

Me said...

i do agree with amrita people like that are there :)

Welcome to the Lowest Common Denominator. Hotels/motel rooms are used by everyone, ranging from an IQ of zero to an IQ of 200. And these warnings are for people on the lower end of the IQ scale. People, for whom basic common sense does not exist. People like that lady who spilt hot coffee on herself, sued the coffee shop for non-disclosure of the fact that the coffee is hot, and still won.

Thanks to tort and liability laws, establishments are going out of the way to warn people. We're now past the days of rewarding intelligence. We are now in the game of rewarding stupidity.

I have a friend here.. He knocked on his friend's door. On seeing the door not opening, he pulled the fire alarm, thinking that it is some kind of lever.

Narayanan Venkitu said...

Prabha - I felt the same way

Freeyavedu - Funny. Then what happened.? And by the way, did your friend stay in this hotel as well?

Praveen - Umm...adhai nahn yosikkave- illayae.?
No idea about Mr. reeves. Rajini photo looks good.

Kichami sir - If it were only 6 feet from the floor I can imagine, but this was a little too high.

Amrita / Me - apparently unless someone did this...one wouldn't stick these things on the ceiling.! But wonder what kind of idiot?

Daph - I agree about the LCD and the IQ free people.

IBH - I could be for those IQ challenged people!
