It's amusing watching how people react to changes in their enviroment.

Okay, the entrance to Pevensey 2 consists of a revolving door (that you have to push), and a couple of smaller side doors. Now it's very windy outside here today, and so those doors have been locked because of the winds (otherwise whenever someone opens them it blows a right gale through here. Because of various regulations and the fact that there is 24-hour access to areas in this building, those doors can be opened when locked from the inside by turning a knob (a bit like a front-door lock that locks behind you). Normally, however, they are unlocked and can be opened by pushing.

Quite a few people have gone and walked into those doors, expecting them to open. Never mind the piece of paper stuck to the door at eye level saying that they're locked. After some rattling of the door they eventually find the knob and open it.

A small handful have walked to the door, but read the notice and instead used the revolving door.

The majority either read the notice from a distance or were going to use the revolving door anyway.

Makes you wonder about how we percieve things, doesn't it?

it bothers me sometimes how stupid some people can be and how unprepared for change they are. The quote i quite like is from men in black. "people are smart, they can handle it (the truth). A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky animals and you know it" For those who care, this may not be word for word correct, but the idea is the same. I would also like to point out that I haven’t seen the film in a year or so, so this is a real test of my memory! For those still struggling to grasp the concept presented to you, let me approach it from another angle. If you go up to most people in America, and ask them of their thoughts towards bush, if they are a bush supported, they wont have any (thoughts.) they will tell you what a prick he is and what a cock-up he has made of the US economy and US foreign relations and how he has made a name for himself as one of the worlds most powerful idiots....(if you need any more convincing, click here). But for some unknown reason, when it came to the US elections, around 50% of all those who voted, asked for 4 more years of him. Now if you ask me, that is the most stupid thing a group of people that large has ever done in such a short space of time.....what has this world come to!
