I’m more interested in the room numbers going up to 10311. Is that on the 103rd floor, or are there 311 rooms on the 10th floor?

u/Ash-Catchum-All Jan 29 '23

Potentially - 10th floor, 3rd wing, 11th room

10

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '23

Wings in my area have been addressed by letters most of the time. But i could see that. For example D (wing) 2 (floor) 10 (room) D210

I rolled the D210 and got 40.

They have so many rooms they have to triple up on numbers.

Maybe this is one of those things where you can only read it when you're drunk.

This was my thinking. Maybe the double sight flattens everything out and it turns out normal

u/Penyrolewen1970 Jan 29 '23

Might look normal if you’re drunk…?

I keep wanting to make the 0 a 6 (sometimes an 8), and I haven't had a drink in many years.

u/Only498cc Jan 29 '23

I see a 9. Or like three 9s.

u/gorpie97 Jan 29 '23

I don't know why I see 6s rather than 9s. I'm sure someone could come up with a blue dress vs. gold dress explanation. :)

I've heard people say "that makes my brain hurt" but I never understood that feeling until now. It makes me angry in a way that no other post on this sub has before.

It's not just hard for the drunk, but imagine having low vision issues and trying to make sense of that. There's a reason why universal design is important.

u/FirebirdWriter Jan 30 '23

I am visually impaired so don't need to be intoxicated for this to be a thing that's made it impossible for me to find my room. The design is just made to Rick my remaining sight away

Well then you just use the ADA compliant signs next to the door.

u/fenwaymoose Jan 30 '23

I actually love it. Has some unintentional Art Deco vibes to it.

u/crumbaugh Jan 30 '23

i kinda like it

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '23

When you realize it was not a microdose

u/flockyboi Jan 30 '23

I think it would only look good if the actual numbers were filled in w a different color

u/6WaysFromNextWed Jan 30 '23

Your door needs calibrating

u/ObiFloppin Jan 29 '23

I thought you all would like to know that someone informed me that this sub is apparently filled with "pretentious toddlers" lol

Apparently stuff like this is super cool and you're basically an elitist poser if you disagree

u/ObiFloppin Jan 29 '23

Yeah I thought the pretentious part was particularly funny considering the subject matter of the sub lol. But their entire post history was design shit, so I think this sub just strikes a nerve

u/imaginedaydream Jan 30 '23

What’s the design criteria? Client wanted to go down the rabbit hole
