  1. Jez says:

    So, where’s the exit?

  2. fpelayo says:

    Triple First!

    (or umpteenth :P )

  3. Marius says:

    Get out, get out, get out now!
    Are they trying to tell me something?

  4. JasonK says:

    Exit! Exit!! EXIT! *smacks on wall*

  5. Crucial says:

    Hey, anyone know where the exit is?

  6. epster says:

    Sortie!
    Ausfart!
    Uscita!

  7. ccuto says:

    itd be better fail if there was no door there

  8. CH!N says:

    suspicious…

  9. CHING CHING says:

    HEY GUYS! WHAT’S UP!?

  10. Fia says:

    I don’t know, I would call that a redundancy win.

  11. Some guy says:

    HOW THE HELL DO I GET OUT OF HERE

    • loufail says:

      Plug out the computer. That should solve your problem with Caps Lock, also.

      • Strategist says:

        or, press start>up>enter>enter! if you use winblows only of course…however, if you have a mac, just wait for a convenient power failure, or for the stove or fridge to trip the lights. that should solve it!

  12. Mooch says:

    Wouldn’t that be categorised as a redundancy win?

  13. funeralclown4hire says:

    the redundancy is redundantly redundant

  14. Vee says:

    What they don’t say is that it is a closet behind the door!

  15. Diana says:

    It’s not redundant – the signs are like water fountains – one for normal people, one for giants, and one for people with heads tipped sharply to the left.

  16. Orkan says:

    I’d call this an Inspector Fail. He obviously didn’t tell them the correct spot for the sign in the first place.

  17. scott says:

    If somebody missed those 3 exit signs, they are offically blind

  18. It’s a redundancy WIN.
    It’s a redundancy WIN.

  19. Diana says:

    I recognize that the redundancy joke is totally apt here, but after how many instances of it do we get to bring out the anti-troll weapons?

  20. Pauly says:

    someone got billed 3 different times for this

  21. Arthur Eld says:

    I wonder if two doors in the building lack an exit sign for whatever reason.

  22. BurgerKing says:

    Exit exit exit exit exit exit exit exit. Exit of what?

  23. jeff says:

    I tend to think that would be redundancy win rather than redundancy fail

  24. CurtCorban says:

    This just proves how much better exit signs are than enter signs.

  25. Anon says:

    hahaha funny
    till your in a fire.

  26. Vicky says:

    Maybe trying to fill their quota of emergency exit signs??? hmmmmm

  27. eye_goo says:

    hey wait, this is a closet!

  28. druid43 says:

    Shouldn’t it be “redundancy win” really?

  29. Robacide says:

    I will say that the most redundant of the three signs is the one above the door. Not only is it elementally redundant because it resides above a door, to the right of 2 other exit signs, but also, once one passes those two other signs it is no longer in natural view.

    So, that said:
    1) an exit sign above an exit door was installed.
    2) but it was not visible to those who forgot how they got in so they installed a 2nd sign clearly visible in the hall.
    3) which was not DC compatible so they installed a 3rd sign in case of eletrical failure.

    That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

  30. Odar X says:

    They just really want you guys to leave, OK? Instead of being rude about it, they use a little redundancy to make sure you get the message.

  31. Jess says:

    Not a fail, morons. Those are the kind o signs that light up during a fire. When the halls are thick with black smoke, there’s no such thing as too many exit signs.

    • BondFan4518 says:

      Kind o signs? Are you Irish?

    • Lunchbox says:

      Hey there, Jess, how about a short lesson in Fire Behavior: the byproducts of fire, mainly carbonaceous smoke, CO, CO2 and HCN, are all superheated by the latent heat of combustion. This heat causes the said products to rise, forming a dense layer of smoke in the upper areas of a room or hallway. If you happen to notice that these signs are all in the upper third of the hallway, vertically speaking, they would most likely be obscured by the “thick black smoke”. Now, how do you propose that these signs are helpful in that situation? (Oh, and before you come back with some internet researched answer, I’m a career firefighter and teach fire behavior. I know the code requiring signage.)

      • Lunchbox says:

        ^what an arsehole, eh? Just re-read my comment, and it doesn’t come off anything like what I intended… ;)

        • Avis says:

          Don’t worry about it. This is a subject that you would know more about than virtually anyone else who comes here. So, it figures that you would have something to say.

          • Lunchbox says:

            I think it was the ‘morons’ in Jess’s post that set me off. Besides, when do I not have something to say? lol, of course…

            • Avis says:

              I’m just sorry that I missed so many of the trolls. I need to glower, but I need someone to glower AT! I don’t want to damage just ANYONE.

              • Marius says:

                I volunteer my sister-in-law Avis.
                (Yes, she is still here.)

                • Avis says:

                  *SNERT*
                  A little annoying is she?

                  • Marius says:

                    Not to me, I am big and scary.
                    I think she is killing my wife.

                    • Avis says:

                      Real battle axe, eh? I know there’s away to deal with them, really there is. It requires one to be just as bitchy though. I will admit to resorting to it.

                      • Marius says:

                        Not so much being mean, just constant complaining. She is around my wife every second of the day. She is even in the bathroom with her when she is getting ready for work. She is her sister and we love her and feel bad for her but CHRIST. I went to the store with my wife last weekend, pulled around behind the store and pretended to run out of gas. Stupid fuel injectors wouldn’t let me flood the car so it started up again. My wife thanked me for the effort. :)

                        • Avis says:

                          Yowza. I would throttle her. I wouldn’t be able to deal with that. There’s got to be a way to get some private time. Set her up on a date. Key words “set her up”!

                        • Marius says:

                          Yeah, we encouraged the date thing until she told us she met some guy on the internet and was going to meet him at a motel bar! I had to threaten to follow her to get her to call it off. Her head is not in the right place for dating yet.

                        • Avis says:

                          Dear god! That’s not too safe a thing to do! Granted, nearly every bar in my area is in a hotel. But still! Please tell me that this was in a great big city and the hotel in question is something like the Plaza-esque.

                        • Marius says:

                          Unfortunately no. It is a know hook-up palace on the Island.
                          .
                          All is not lost, she is working three days a week now and she has gone to her daughter’s house for dinner here and there. Of course those are the nights our kids decide to stay home because it is sister-in-law free. I think next weekend I am going to give her some money and tell her to take my kids to the movies. That would probably embarrass the hell out of all four women in my house. :)

                        • coyote says:

                          Here is a true story about my sisters luck at internet dating.
                          He was wonderful. He was perfect. He was rich. He was “The One”.
                          They arranged to meet.
                          On the day they were to meet she gets a call from the police. They got her number off of his computer. He is under arrest for swindling other women and possibly murder.
                          Dates off.
                          Tell that to your sister-in-law a hope that it puts her on her gaurd.

                        • Avis says:

                          :shock:
                          Dating is, under the best circumstances, a dangerous game. Internet dating seems like russian roulette!

                        • Marius says:

                          Thank you Coyote. I will tell her. She is still conversing with this clown and when my wife questions her she gets very defensive. She will not even discuss it with me any longer.

                        • Avis says:

                          And on that note, it’s time for me to get going. I need sleep!! I need to rest up for my date tomorrow!

                        • coyote says:

                          That should read “…and hope…”.
                          It does make it an uphill battle for the decent sorts, especially if one is of a quieter disposition. Sometimes it seems that females only go for the blustering jerks.

                        • Avis says:

                          Not all of us Coyote. Not all of us. Some of have learned the hard way that those guys are bad news. The blustering jerks that is. What kills me is there are so many women looking for men out there. And there are so many men looking for women out there. Why are we not looking in the same places? And bars don’t count.

                        • Marius says:

                          Time for me to hit the hay as well.
                          Good night Avis. Enjoy your date.
                          .
                          Yes Coyote, that does seem to be the way of things. I always tell my daughters it is a self respect issue. If you think you have to put up with bad treatment to be accepted that is what you will get.

                        • coyote says:

                          Good night to the two of you. I’m off to bed myself. Avis your use of the phrase “what kills me” could have been better. :)

                        • Marius says:

                          *Snort*

    • Mookie says:

      Moron? Moi?

  32. Muckrak3r says:

    Exit? More like Exodus.

  33. techs says:

    What’s so exciting about a display at an exit sign store? They’re just demonstrating all the ways the sign can be mounted.

  34. glitchunter says:

    That’s the door to the bathroom.

  35. tiredgirl says:

    never can be too safe . . .

  36. EvilEyeProductions says:

    Exit.
    (okay)
    Exit.
    (Yeah, I got it.)
    Exit.
    (I F@!KING GOT IT OK?!)

  37. Beth says:

    Seriously, GO THIS WAY PEOPLE!!!!!!

  38. BondFan4518 says:

    The Failblog monster must be pretty hungry today. There have been very few comments in the past thirty minutes.

  39. buggin2go says:

    At least someone here had an Exit Strategy

  40. EmmJay says:

    Why fail? Looks like a redundancy WIN to me.

  41. chris says:

    i cant find the entrance

  42. BlackMetalZack says:

    Yo dawg!
    I heard you like exiting so we put an exit sign on your exit sign you can exit when you see the exit sign!!

  43. Maria Sweeny says:

    good read, love the site

  44. LOLATREALITY says:

    See more lol at – > lolatreality.com

  45. Mrs_Z says:

    Well, if you ask me (and nobody has), this is a redundancy WIN.

  46. TrollEater says:

    I EAT TROLLS

  47. blah says:

    Definite fail.

  48. MEmeMEmeME says:

    That’s not really a fail. In my book thats a win.
    BTW 300th:)

  49. C W says:

    “Ok…I’m not clear…Is THAT the exit???”

  50. SKW says:

    Looks like the last level of Portal, a design GLaDOS would have done.

  51. paz says:

    exit pl0x

  52. YounisAMAX says:

    EXIT X3 = EXIT RIGHT HERE YOU DUMB****!

  53. Jimbob Jones says:

    The ironic thing is that the building doesn’t have any entrances.

  54. dorkface says:

    this is actually a redundancy win

  55. cwr64 says:

    Okay, Bush has left the White House. Take ‘em down, boys!

  56. swatcher says:

    dang ! an epic win..not fail..lol

  57. Angela says:

    Redundancy, you are actually doing it right.

  58. Squintz says:

    wouldn’t this be a redundancy win? i mean think about it, if it were a redundancy fail, i would not be as redundant as these redundant signs are. I think it’s a redundancy win

  59. juney says:

    There’s a Starbucks in my neighborhood that has a little sandwich board out front (of the “CAUTION- WET FLOOR” type), which says STARBUCKS COFFEE across the top on both sides, above the green round Starbucks logo which also says Starbucks Coffee (in the outer ring). That same logo also appears on both of the double doors, as well as each of the two flanking windows. It also says STARBUCKS COFFEE in regular text above the double doors. That’s right… NINE occurrences of “STARBUCKS COFFEE” before you even get in the gee dee place.

    Yeah this thing is like that thing.

  60. soisoisoi says:

    and i still dont know where the exit is, dammit!

  61. LD0ne says:

    i dunno lol sometimes 1 sign just isn’t enough to get the point across…

  62. WryGrin says:

    … would’ve been cheaper to just paint GTFO on the wall…
    ._.6

  63. Mark says:

    Maybe we do need that because of the next one?

  64. zzzz679 says:

    Now i will never get….. i forgot where the exit is

  65. pinkisforgirlsx says:

    No seriously, there’s an exit.

  66. sheldoom says:

    Wow … I just realised that this picture was taken in the office I work at …

  67. failing failure says:

    it’s actually a redundancy WIN…
