Woman Unleashes Fury Over Stupid Sign-Makers

Every time I visit a Wells Fargo ATM, which is about twice a week, more or less, I see this sign that drives me INSANE. It says something to the effect of "These instructions are in braille for our non-sighted customers."

What is wrong with those people? What the HELL is a non-sighted customer? A customer you haven't seen yet? Why don't they just say "blind," for Pete's sake? It is OK to say "blind." There is no need to make up some stupid ambiguous seemingly more-PC word for it. Right? Am I missing something? I would switch banks over this issue if I didn't like Wells Fargo so much.

And OK. OK. I said I wasn't going to blog about my job. But I can't hold this in anymore: The signs on the bathrooms have misplaced apostrophes.

They say:

Mens
Women's

and on some floors:

Men's
Womens

What are MENS? WHAT is/are it/they?!? You can't pluralize men! You just can't pluralize a plural! Just like you can't double stamp a triple stamp! Arrrrggghhhh!

When I first saw the signs I thought, holy shit, are these people serious? I can't work here. This is a sign. But I love this firm so much! This can't be a sign...Are they testing me? Yes. They are testing me. NO! Better yet. It's a joke! Get it... mens? Latin for "mind"? Like mens rea? No...that doesn't explain "womens." And it's a pretty stupid joke. What I really don't understand about the situation is that the firm is so professional in every way. Suits every day, super high work product standards, high ethical standards, etc. In fact, they have a writing coach for us summer associates and had a writing workshop for us and gave us some books to read on writing and style. If they care so much, how can something like this happen? How? I approached the recruiting partner about the issue. I told him it would probably only cost $20 to fix the problem. He agreed that it would only cost $20 to fix the problem. I got the impression that (1) he thought I was a nut-job and (2) it just wasn't worth it to him to fix it. I then approached the partner who had taught the writing skills seminar. Surely he would care, right? He said the signs had bothered him for years, but that he had become apathetic about the issue and had just learned to ignore them. How can this be? How can all of these highly educated people just ignore the blatant apostrophe abuse that exists before their very noses?? I hope they give me a job offer at the end of the summer. Primarily because it is such a sweet place to work and I love it. Secondarily, because I will make it my personal mission to change those signs.
