Location Is Key

Which says a lot about how people really don’t pay attention as long as it is convenient.

I get to laugh a lot. A.LOT

This is the street-side of where I am staying now. Yep, starting at the second door on down is the wall of my room here.

The sign above it says it is a laundromat.  There are  lighted vacancy signs, with instructions below to call the realty office for rental information. Confused? Don’t worry, you are not alone.

See the yellow sign in the foreground? That is by the laundry mat entrance (laundry mat not shown).

Above you see railings, which are rental apartments balconies. No arrow from the vacancy signs up to those. Nope.

Oh, the painted sign on the door between the vacancy signs reads: Seacoast Health Clinic.

Does it all make sense now?

Doesn’t to me either.

Here’s where the fun part begins. I live in the food kitchen. Saint Vincent uses this during the winter months to serve food to the homeless and poor. During the summer months my roommate and I live in the food kitchen to free up Unit #1, where we stay during the off season.

It is actually pretty cool, as in neat, but not really cool as in “cold” cool. It gets pretty hot in here when the sun hits the street side mid-afternoon.

Can we open those doors? Nope. Why? Cause people are idiots and don’t care where they are going or what they are after. We can’t even unlock them so we can use those front doors to go anywhere. Why, people pull the doors open thinking it is a restaurant? WTF?

As I sit here at the computer, or lay in the bed, or sit at the table to eat I can’t help but laugh at people that try the doors.

Why? They honestly think it is a restaurant. We don’t know if they’re really looking for food or possibly a public restroom but it is funny as hell to me that they would think either.

Seriously, even with the confusing signs NO WHERE is there a sign for food or bathrooms on the building. Not even one person, who might accidentally open one of the accidentally unlocked doors, ever says “oh, sorry. I thought this was the laundry mat” or “sorry, I thought this was the rental office”.

Nope, it’s always “is this not a restaurant?”

WTF.

Seriously people. I mean SERIOUSLY. With all the places to eat out here you have to choose what type of food you are going to score. Are these people so dazed, confused, excited or just so damned hungry that they will eat anything? Are they like Woody Harrelson in Zombieland , so desperate for a Twinkie food that they will open every available door in search of some?
