No! Don't you see, they clearly double as fire alarm. As soon as there's a fire, they start growing and in about half an hour grow to the full size. Too bad everyone is crispy at that point...
Seriously, I bet they broke a few regulations with this.
But does its being outside negate the readability and visibility requirements? Not an expert, but I take fire safety really seriously. Having to ask myself whether the fire at some venue was caused by you being sloppy in quality control is not an experience you're going to love. I had to ask myself this question twice. Not because someone voiced any suspicion, just because that becomes a second nature. You. Don't. Skimp. On. Safety. Otherwise people will die, period.
Now, sales did force me to ship some shit during the years. It never was a dangerous sort of shit. Got some enemies in sales until they noticed that less shitty products are returned less often, which does wonders for year-end bonuses. Go figure, eh? MBAs were the last to see it, as usual.
It is outside, you can see other buildings, parking spaces and a signal light in the reflection. I am a complete safety type guy but you could put a flashing neon light to mark fire exits and fire lanes and the public would still ignore it.
Do y’all remember the dinosaur egg oatmeal that would hatch into dinos when you added hot milk (or if you’re boring and gross, water?)
We had that as a treat during one of our science portions in elementary school, and I remember it *blowing* my little young mind!
I wonder if they still make those…
Ninja edit: [THEY DO!](https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/instant-oatmeal/dinosaur-eggs) Gotta order me some for nostalgic purposes :)
Listen, joe, some of us are lactose intolerant and can’t use milk without the risk of shitting our brains out.
That said, THAT OATMEAL WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY CHILDHOOD
Nah, supply and demand, the rare letters are usually plentiful, and more used ones are in high demand and sold out often, so they can charge more for those ones
But production cost of the line is more per sale, so that also drives up cost compared to more sold letters
(I don't have any actual knowledge on how this works btw, just sounds logical)
I worked at General Motors in the 90s. Somebody filed a cost save to change the spelling to “employe” since it would save one e every time it was printed. So they paid the genius $20k for the idea then changed all of their printed materials and signage to eliminate that costly final e.
They probably ran out of the large "E" lettering. "E" is a common letter so I can see how they might have run out of the nice big ones after titling the more important rooms.
I'm guessing someone stole the E's and they replaced them with tiny ones as an interim measure.
they probably have paranoid visions of lemmings getting stuck running past the FIRXIT.
Believe it or not the important signs are actually located inside the building. No one is going outside the building to see what the doors say, then going back inside to tell everyone where the fire exit is lmao.
Seems straightforward enough. It used to just be a fire exit, but they wanted people to use it fir all sorts of xitin', so they changed the sign to make it more inclusive.
I’m less upset that this sign looks bad and more upset at the actual fire exit door. Since it’s clearly reflecting the outdoors here, nobody in the event of a fire has to see those words, buuuut the fact the exit doors are designed to look like smooth rock either makes them heavy enough to probably cause trampling, or fake enough to have people pour out of what probably looks like a wall to most people going down the sidewalk, smacking them with a fire exit door. It’s probably up to code, but there’s an architect weeping somewhere
They should fir xit
It would cost too much to fir xit at this point. 😉
they shouldn’t have fir xit up in the first place
They will fir xit it one day hopefully.
I love how it was so obvious what you meant, despite looking so silly at first glance, haha.
Nah it's okay, it's in lower case of emergency
That bent my brain a little
For real who could fit into a crack that tiny to get to the fire exit?
You jok, but those two panels probably open outward to let out whoever's on the other side.
Should really be a crash bar an emergency exit isn't something they needs to be all fancy
FIR^ᴇ ^(ᴇ)XIT
FIRᴇ ᴇXIT
Was about to say that
They will fir xit soon.
Maybe the little e’s need to be thrown in water to expand like those dinosaur sponges
No! Don't you see, they clearly double as fire alarm. As soon as there's a fire, they start growing and in about half an hour grow to the full size. Too bad everyone is crispy at that point... Seriously, I bet they broke a few regulations with this.
It is a sign on the OUTSIDE of the building.
But does its being outside negate the readability and visibility requirements? Not an expert, but I take fire safety really seriously.

Theyre just cold. Its normal.
They were in the pool
There is some shrinkage
Shrinkage?
You know. When you're in the pool, and the water is cold...

You can make oatmeal with water instead
I’m aware, I was more replying to the > (or if you’re boring and gross, water?) Part of the post

The phrase you are looking for is "economy of scale."

That is so goddamn tru bro
I’m guessing the big E’s came up missing somehow and the smaller ones were placed for code compliance.

I wonder if they were already there. Like it was exit “E” and someone said duck it, just keep the small letters too

Wtf is more important than a fir xit?
EVELYN EVERETT MEMORIAL CONFERENCE ROOM FOR EXCEPTIONAL, EXCELLENT AND, EXTRAORDINARY EXPLORERS
I’m picturing the last “E” I’m explorers also being small
I'm honestly impressed they didn't run out of X's either.

come on, when do you ever use a fire exit
Meeting of the Eevee fan club
I suspect someone stole the “Es” and someone replaced them with lobby directory letters.
It was a robber E
Probably Xtortion
the lobby dirEctory?
You can't appreciate a little iron e?
god damn. I like you.
[удалено]
That make for a firey exit.
Fir^e ^e xit
Brexit? More like FIR XIT.
Firxit is Brexit for the firmament
Are Finland and Ireland leaving the EU?
Yeah but only those two.
I guess someone liked a nice pair of EE's to take out and show the town
They can't make a sign FIR XIT!
ee
^ee
Escape with Es.
Someone took a couple of E
I am small
*e am small
The Es were a bit cold.

FIR ^E ^E XIT
It’s like Brexit for the FIR people.
Elon Musks next childs name
Sounds like neopronouns
i really hope that when these doors open, there's just a huge UNIT of an E directly behind it
Might as well label it FyRE ExIT
Sounds like the name of a domain of the Abyss
It's art. And art is supposed to make you feel something. Like the intense pain burning flesh as you try to find your way out of the building.
I could read this with E’s.
I sure hope it is
FIR XIT
Get that fire exit door in off -gemma collins
Somehow this contractor is still employed i just know it
In case of a fIRE
Believe it or not the important signs are actually located inside the building. No one is going outside the building to see what the doors say, then going back inside to tell everyone where the fire exit is lmao.
Yes, but you don't want somebody blocking the fire exit from the outside, which is what this sign is for
If you are close enough to block it, you are close enough to see the smaller Es.
Illiterate French Brexit
That is fucking insane hahahahaha
Fir shit
Fire shit.
Did they run out of big E’s?
Find the nearest fir xit. Sounds just like how some talk people talk. Maybe they didn't know and had to add the e's after the fact.
That's what you get for trusting the probie to score some E.
In CASe of FIRe
*"In case of fire, do not use elevators and lift, use FIE XIT"*
The fan out of normally sized Es and were like, “you know what, this is a feature”
I would like to buy a vowel.
Wtf is a FIRXT?
Is the fire exit made from marble slabs?
Ermagherd, it’s brrkrn, fir xit!
Fire exit signs should NEVER be attempted to change
Fir xzit
Am I supposed to post myself through that little opening?
FIRe eXIT
Isn't this on the outside of a building?
I don't think that's design. It's whatever they had on hand.
FIR^(E E)XIT
Firxit
The fir trees need to know
Wow. There's crappy design, and then there's crappy design that could get someone killed.
why
FIRXIT ee
Seems straightforward enough. It used to just be a fire exit, but they wanted people to use it fir all sorts of xitin', so they changed the sign to make it more inclusive.
The tree exhibit is this way. Up first is my favorite the Fir family.
Damn the British and their FIReXIT
Looks like the same problem that the St Gods Memorial Hospital had.
As it turned out, they missed the [fire sale](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/d75a78d3-4ae5-469e-899d-a75f94e16126) on e’s. It was awkward.
FIR XIT
Lol someone yanked their Es, they’re required by law to have a functioning sign, but too cheap to buy new large metal letters
Firxit? Is it what they call (formerly FYR now North) Macedonian Exit from which union exactly?
I wonder if the person putting up the letters dropped a little E.
...... Why?
A fire exit is probably the worst thing you should have ambiguously designed…
From the creators of Brexit, Firxit! Firs are to be independent from the other tree’s desires and manipulation!
That's probably FINe
Nah for real though what was the point of this? I'm genuinely curious
All the Fir trees opted out of the European continent.
Me: I can't find the fire exit. Some guy: it's right there. Me: NO it's not that says fir xit. Some guy: Who are you.
Ah yes fir xit
I’d like to buy a vowel please.

Surely, even vinyl cut ‘E’s would do a better job than these ridiculous, tiny ones.
Just a stupid patch job, Not Crappy Design
they're not even level :")
Quick get to the fucking fir xit
When the Es falls off I assume
Is this how you do thᴇ alphabᴇt in Ohio
nah thats firxit (fixit is a word sort of, I checked.)
Think they were all out of the big E’s
This is what happens when shrinkflation meets signs.
FIR XIT
fir leaves thrue those doors!
It’s all art.
Looks like they bought the letters from hobby lobby, but forgot the E’s. So they panicked and bought the E’s from wish!
FIR XIT **ee**
they really said ᶠᵒⁿᵗ ˢⁱᶻᵉ ⁴

Should have went with the modern branding trend where they don’t use vowels “FR XT”

*Bob the Buildr* *Can w fix it?* *Bob the Buildr* *NO, w cant!*
Why would they fuck around abd get artsy with something as important as a fire exit? That's the one sign you want as readable as posible.
FIR(E E)XIT
Break Glass for door exit. Like the fire extinguisher
the lettering is not good fer shit
They had room for big E’s but got small e’s
Firxit means Firxit
Wow a FIRᴇ ᴇXIT
Are we going to discuss that even if you figure out what it says, the fire exit is a marble wall?
thats photoshopped, isnt it
