I guess it's funny if people don't realize it and think the arrows point in the same direction because their meant to turn it in the same direction?

I dunno maybe I just don't get it.

If the knob was left unmarked, then sure. With your oven, I'm assuming that turning it clockwise shuts it off and turning it counterclockwise turns it on.

But it's clearly marked which indicates that turning the knob in either direction would close whatever valve it's referring to.

Conventions are fine and good but if you're going to clearly mark something then following the marking supersedes convention.

The beer garden for the nightclub I work at is fully illuminated by heat lights to keep people warm at night, but they keep forgetting to turn them off come morning.

Keeping the unused heat lights down would save electricity!

What? No, if you turn the knob clockwise the oven turns on.

So just looking at it, tell me which arrow goes with which word, because-- infinitesimal as the likelihood may be-- it may be threaded in reverse. And if there are stops at both full open and full closed, resistance won't exist to give context.

Close is upside down if you turn it to the right clockwise you are closing it because now close is at the top and not upside down.


It's actually rather neat because you know which direction to close or open it from any angle






Also in the United State you read left to right the arrows point in the right directions if you read it left to right because the arrows are before the words <- Open ->Close

You can turn it the wrong way and make it harder to open.

If that's where I think it is (University of Waterloo), then those geese are monsters. People ended up in the hospital with broken limbs a few times back when I went there for accidentally stumbling into a goose nesting site, which was everywhere.

They also cause other wildlife on campus to kill themselves out of fear

Geese are basically mirrors of people. Meaning, they won’t act like an rear end in a top hat if you don’t. Also, I’ve worked at UW for 15 years and have never once heard of broken limbs caused by geese. I’ve also never been attacked by one because I don’t barrel through flocks of them like I own the place.

You must have very docile geese there. Normally geese absolutely will attack you even if you're doing nothing. It's usually because you're near their nest but the fuckers love to make them in the most inconvenient spots.

This is one of those situations where the property owner should hire one of those companies that sends in border collies to chase away the geese. I want to work for one of those companies one day.

You're underestimating how much geese don't give a gently caress. They try to scare away cars.

I contract for border collies at my job. They do a great job. The thing about the geese is if you gently caress with them enough they'll just move. You have to have regular visits from the border collies but it's the only way I've found to reliably keep the geese away.
