    As a psych nurse who’s worked a unit with door alarms, somebody is going to have an aneurysm if they have to reset that alarm one. more. GOTDAMN MOTHER-FUCKING TIME.

      Happens in IT as well. If you choose to alert on all the things, you’re going to get burned at some point.

      Sounds like when you start sleeping through your alarm clock, and the phone alarm, and the other other alarm clock.

      Nobody will ever understand alarm fatigue, or its close cousins. Not in history.

        I mean I do think suicide should be legal but I also don’t think we should let people just do it without making them stop for a second and be evaluated to see if there’s any better options for them.

      Literally had to put a sign on my door saying to use the god damn doorbell with an arrow pointing directly at it. The pizza guy would then call me, asking why I didn’t open when he knocked. Maybe because I can’t hear your fucking knock, which is why I bought a god damn doorbell! Fuck the public.

    signs are invisible to people. at my workplace we had to lock one of our double doors because of a maintenance issue and i put a sign saying “use other door” with a huge arrow pointing to the other door. the instant i walked away after attaching the sign directly on the door handle, someone tried the locked door. pushing the handle with the sign on it.

      We have socially conditioned ourselves to ignore signage if we aren’t specifically looking for it. 99% of signage in today’s world is usually just an ad being shoved into your face trying to sell something. It is a bombardment of annoying and intrusive information to the point our minds have trained themselves to filter the visual noise out. It is literally too much for our mind to process, so most of it gets deleted from our consciousness in the same way the hole in your vision from your optical nerve is being hidden from your perception unless you specifically expose it.

    My brain tends to overlook the big BIG buttons. Like when I was on vacation last month and they had a different cashier system and I couldn’t find the “pay with credit card” button. I tried every other button on the screen, until I gave up and asked another person. They looked at me in absolute disbelief an touched the BIG button that took up about half of the screen. To me it just came into existence at this point of time, it just wasn’t there seconds before the other person touched it. I’m really careful about opening doors though, and I surely would have seen “emergency” written on the door.

    source
    • lastunusedusername2@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Yeah, buttons should look like buttons. If it takes up half the screen a lot of people are going to miss it because they’re looking for something that looks like a button.

      source
    • shalafi@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      That’s bad UI, not you. Your brain was pattern matching for something that looked like a button, didn’t lock onto the non-button thing, because why would it?

        Especially when almost any other time something takes up half a screen, it’s a goddamn ad.

    I wonder how many times they had people trying to push the doors instead.

      Had? I bet you they still have people pushing the doors all the time.

        Maybe even more now because the button is perfectly camouflaged between all the useless signs.

    Now think about the people that need all that and how they treat road signage.

  • MehBlah@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I have no trouble understanding why this has to be this way.

    Twice a year our facility has a staff day where we get hit up by aflac and find out how we are doing as a organization. We have huge placards we place in the walkways leading up to the doors. Our meeting room is right by those doors and inevitably we will have people who ignore all the signs saying closed walk to the doors and pull them several times before finally reading the sign that we also put on the door.

      And sometimes you get so used to there being brightly colored ads, corporate propaganda motivational messages and various warning signs everywhere, that you develop a blindness for everything too flashy and ignore it until you encounter a roadblock that doesn’t yield.

      source
      • filcuk@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        This is true and not just about ads. It’s called ‘sign blindness’.
        People often run on autopilot when doing things as basic as opening doors, and reading requires direct attention.
        It’s not (always) about being dumb or careless, it’s our nature.

      Truthfully it’s a design issue. If people keep coming up to a door and pulling on it, it’s because the design of the door is instructing them to do so. Design imparts information. A door in a home can have simple knobs - anyone living there can just learn which doors to push/pull. A door in a public space instead needs to be designed to tell people how to operate it, even without any labeling.

      A door is a simple device. It shouldn’t require reading labels or a manual. It’s operation should be abundantly obvious. After all, even those who don’t speak the language or are illiterate need to be able to operate doors. A door that needs instructions is one that is poorly designed.

      I’ve always been too terrified of bumping those to let the intrusive thoughts in.

      The very first time I put my then-newborn to bed without anyone else present, I accidentally bumped the back/top of their head against the top frame of their bedding area. They made the saddest expression then started screaming their despair. Even if I hadn’t been worried about it before then, I don’t know that I’ve ever felt so much guilt or apologized so much, nor been so worried about long term consequences (to their development, not to myself).

      Fortunately, they seem to be developing well and, though I can’t forget that happening, I very much doubt they even remember it to be upset.

    Many years ago, before we automated our deployment, we got our devs to do it manually. The guy that wrote the instructions in bold red letters at the top, put something like “log in as X” and no one would follow. He asked me what to do, I said, “put it as step 1 instead of bold letters at the top”. Never had anyone mess up afterwards. Thank God we automated it though.

    Our brains work in weird ways.

    Oh hey, let me make a treasure map and put the treasure map into the treasure chest and bury it under ground.

    Why can’t people find my treasure? Are they fucking idiots or something?

    I should probably put more maps in the chest.

    To be honest, I sometimes miss these because I’m tall and they’re so low, by the time I’m at the door, I don’t see anything obvious. I have to bend my head down to notice there’s writing on a button that otherwise looks like the top of a fob scanner or something.

    Those big chunky buttons that push like emergency stop buttons but are green, they’re helpful.

      Legitimately, the majority of people would still miss the signs. People just don’t want to admit how little we truly pay attention to what is around us at any given moment. Our minds filter out so much information before we even have a chance to process it.

    This is like when there are way too many signs for the restroom at a restaurant - I like to imagine how each & everyone added has a little origin story to tell.

    They’d have much more success if they wrote “DO NOT PUSH THIS BUTTON” on the actual button.
