Shoutout to the parking garage in Charlotte that painted arrows pointing straight into a wall
I parked in a deck downtown Charlotte last week and saw the dumbest thing. The exit signs had arrows that pointed right at a solid concrete wall. Not a faded old arrow either. Fresh paint, bright yellow, like someone got paid real money to do it. I sat there in my car for maybe 2 minutes just staring at it. A guy behind me honked and I had to back up and find the real way out. Turns out the actual exit was two floors down and the arrows were painted after a renovation. Whoever signed off on that should get a ribbon. What is the worst painted sign you have seen that sent you the wrong way?

Why do construction crews seem to forget how humans actually drive when they put up signs? This fits a pattern I keep seeing everywhere, where someone paints or posts something with zero thought for the person who has to use it. Like the store near me that put a "enter here" sign pointing at a locked door, or the road crew that painted a turn lane arrow that dumps you into a ditch. It's like the people making these calls never once stood where we have to stand and looked around. The Charlotte arrows are just the concrete version of that whole problem.
