The entryway to the office gents' currently contains a big yellow warning sign saying ‘Caution: wet floor’.
In fact the floor isn't perceptibly wet at all, and certainly not nearly wet enough to cause an increased risk of slipping; but I nearly tripped over the sign. I'm therefore unconvinced that this safety measure has reduced the risk of me falling over and cracking my head…
I've also visited a pub in which there was a big sign on the wall saying something like "stop reading this sign and pay attention to the low ceiling joist", but I can't remember where.
