There is a door where I work, that will open both ways, but one way it doesnt close properly again and damages the wall... There is a clear sign near the handle saying PUSH and PULL on the correct sides, but people just cant help continually doing it the wrong way!!! The only solution would be to stop the door from going both ways... There is nothing wrong with the current label system... As it has been said RTFM!!! Its not a hard concept to grasp, there are thousands of people that understand it just fine, for those few that dont it wouldnt matter what labels you used they would still not understand... Since there is no problem to be solved here, lets kill this thread and get on with more important things...
