Where to begin?
  • Incomprehensible industry jargon? Check. (What is a “TOD”, why would I care?)
  • Apostrophe abuse? Check.
  • Weirdly formatted unreadable text? Check.
  • Poorly designed machine with usability failures leading to poorly designed poster to cover same? Check.

I don’t know what pisses me off more; that the process of collecting tickets is so badly designed it requires a sign like this to be stuck to the machine, or that the sign itself is so bloody awful.
