Unsung Hero


I want to meet the genius behind this warning label system. Not only did he give the English language a middle finger for his disregard of the most fundamental rules of grammar, he also found a way to circumvent a serious fear inflicting a majority of Americans: the fear of walking into a manual door or trying to open an unadvertised automatic door. Talk about social anxiety.

If we met, I'd ask three questions: Why not offer different colour choices and fonts? What was the reason you went with the circle over more obvious shapes, such as the octagon or trapezoid? What's next?

In my opinion, we take for granted the advantages provided by this sort of advertising (that is, if you know where to find these automatic caution doors):

  1. Avoid breaking a sweat by using the automatic caution door and carry more shopping bags from LaCreuset.
  2. Inhibits the spread of germs and other STD's.
  3. Provides an opportunity to avoid the awkward social requirement of holding the door open for a stranger a few steps away. Just smile politely, shrug your shoulders, and point to the caution part of the warning label system: it's not your fault, they were warned.

Because Caution is ALWAYS the first word I read, you are a true unsung hero automatic caution door warning label inventor!

Sometimes you go to Le Crueset and buy some stuff and your friends make fun of you and then they don't even open the door for you or offer to help you with your bags.

And then everyone wonders why they aren't invited over for dinner.

Guess what? Fuck you. You get no Paella. It was cooked with love in my special "flame" Paella pot, but you get NOTHING.

Fucking critics.

Sometimes you go to YET ANOTHER OVERPRICED KITCHENWARE SHOP with your friends because one of them is RIDICULOUS and so you exchange a covert glance with your other friend that you are almost positive means "How gay is THAT"? but you aren't really sure because you haven't quite worked out all the nuances in covert glance-speak.
