Yesterday afternoon, I was walking up a stairway and came across a little orange cone with a wet paint sign on it. I saw no places where paint looked wet and couldn't smell any wet paint, hmmm.
I looked at the stairs and there was a bunch of spilled spaghetti and meatballs all around the sign and on the stairs above and below it, hmmm.
I then thought for a moment and realized that there was no wet paint, but rather there was a spill and instead of cleaning it up...someone got a "wet paint" cone/sign. What...Why...Huh...
My best guess is that they got this sign because they couldn't find a "wet floor" sign but think about this for a moment. How many "wet paint" signs do you ever have just lying around? It probably took more time and energy to find that sign and leave the mess to be cleaned by the janitorial service than it would have taken to get some paper towels from the nearest restroom and clean it up! AVOIDANCE
Here is the picture I took of the situation - enjoy! Just a side note "Pintura fresca" sounds like it should be a happy greeting so maybe now I will use this to greet friends - don't worry, only the ones who speak spanish will be confused.
