Things that crack me up, #33
Signs. Doncha always love them signs?
Visual description: These three photos from collegehumor.com are about as unpretty as photographs can be. The first is a closeup of a placard that reads "HANDICAPPED FACILITES (sic) LOCATED ON 2ND AND 3RD FLOORS." The second pic is of a placard hanging next to a door with a lock on it that requires a key and a damaged wall above the placard, possibly where another sign has been yanked down. This placard reads "HANDICAP TOILET LOCATED ON 2ND FLOOR." The last photo is of a paper sign hanging in a window. It reads "NOTICE! HANDICAP BUTTON DISABLED (until further notice) Thanks for your Cooperation." There's something so passive-aggressive about that last.

giggle, roll the eyes.
I guess it my be fate but the same day you posted this I rolled to my apartment elevator to find a "elevator out of order until further notice" sign - more delightful since our landlady assumed (even knowing I live on the third floor) that everyone could take the stairs.
As to bathrooms, obviously you can force them to build it, but you can't force them to like it.

Maybe that explains why so many signs posted on paper temporarily explaining lack of access seem so snarky.
I saw one of these a while back in DC in Foggy Bottom. It was a small brass plaque attached where the elevator shaft met the stairs, and read: "STAIRS NOT WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE". Wish I knew the story behind that one!
