Waiting for a blood test after you have fasted 14 hours is hard enough but to watch stupidity in motion at 7:30 am is enough to make your soon to be donated blood boil.
The sign said clearly upon entering:
“Please form line behind sign and await your turn.”
I don’t know about you, but I think that is pretty black and white. But as I watched each client enter; they ignored the directions on the sign.

Does it most importantly apply to signs because we’re so used to seeing them we think, “oh I don’t need to read that I already know what it’s going to tell me”. It’s a shame, as we all seem to be illiterate. Or perhaps, it’s that people can really read, but they just don’t care.
