Escalators Are Not Exercise Machines

Gee Why — Tue, 09 Oct 2018 18:00:16 +0000

Please keep that in mind the next time you’re riding an escalator and repeat to yourself, “Escalators are not exercise machines.” If you forget, this sign will help you remember.

Now I would have expected something like this at Ala Moana where it seems mandatory that at least one set of escalators is broken. But alas, I guess some Windward guests were overly zealous with their exercise routines in the mall and caused this outage.

So remember that escalators are not exercise machines.

Cooks Wanted

Gee Why — Fri, 16 Mar 2018 23:35:42 +0000

I had walked by a restaurant chain and was stopped by this sign.

I guess the sign worked since it was gone a few days later. The cooks must have been acquier-ed.

Signs of Hawaii: Community Sink

Gee Why — Tue, 18 Apr 2017 18:00:07 +0000

I don’t know what kind of places @abaggy frequents, but he does find signs that are doozies. I mean what kind of workplace needs to post this kind of sign in the first floor breakroom?

I guess you need to rinse your mouth and spit in the communal bathroom sink.

THIS IS A COMMUNITY SINK.

Signs of Hawaii: Ramr

Supposed to say “ramp” right?

Signs of Hawaii: Don’t be Dumb

Gee Why — Sat, 25 Feb 2017 18:00:28 +0000

Very important and doesn’t get any simpler than this.

Signs of Hawaii: Beach

Gee Why — Fri, 03 Feb 2017 18:00:29 +0000

Recently in Kailua, I’ve seen a few of these kinds of signs posted on street posts.

Obviously, they are there to help out the tourists from Japan, but I don’t know who made and put them up. Nice job with the signs and demonstrating the Aloha spirit!

Signs of Hawaii: Say What? Chicken Butt!

Gee Why — Fri, 20 Jan 2017 20:05:26 +0000

I’m not quite sure what this sign is saying. I guess the message is don’t smoke here, but I’m not sure if the chickens have anything to do with it.

Holiday Gift Guide 2016: Road Rage Defuzah

Gee Why — Tue, 20 Dec 2016 04:47:09 +0000

So the days are counting down to Christmas, and people’s anxieties are increasing. With extra crowded roadways, it’s even easier to encounter road rage. But this holiday gift can easily diffuse the tense situation. It’s the Road Rage Defuzah (yes, defuzah).

One side of the sign says “Mahalo” while the other says “My Bad.” When you need to say thanks or acknowledge a poor driving decision, hold up the Defuzah for the driver behind you, and all’s good.

Unfortunately, the Road Rage Defuzah is currently limited in availability, and you need to be in the know in order to get one.

Kozo Is Not Genki

Gee Why — Wed, 14 Sep 2016 22:29:40 +0000

For the sushi uninitiated, Kozo is not Genki and hence doesn’t have the issue with Hepatitis A-tainted bay scallops. For good measure, Kozo tells you so.

The One Place of Dreams

Gee Why — Wed, 03 Aug 2016 22:38:19 +0000

I have no idea what this means, so if anyone can explain this…

Yes, this sign is really above a toilet and seen below. So is the toilet the one place where one can dream?

Signs of NYC: Please Do Not

Gee Why — Sun, 10 Jul 2016 03:19:54 +0000

If you used this bathroom and just pooped, I think you’re in trouble now.

What do you do? And dang that’s a small sink.

Signs of Hawaii: @OKAZUYA

Gee Why — Sat, 03 Jan 2015 18:00:18 +0000

Remember back in the day before the Internet proliferated our daily lives that the @ symbol meant a physical “at?” Nowadays, whenever you see the @ followed by a word, you assume it to be an online identity or persona. But in this case, @okazuya really means “at okazuya.”

Signs of Hawaii: Temporarily Out of Order

Gee Why — Fri, 02 Jan 2015 18:00:41 +0000

If you shopped Macy’s at Ala Moana during the holidays, you probably ran into this sign located on one of the upper floor exits.

What’s that? You can’t read that sign printed on 8.5×11 paper using a small font? You were one of those who approached the doors, straining to read the sign from afar. Only to see this.

I guess Macy’s has no way of printing something that doesn’t follow the template of their sale signs?

Signs of Hawaii: Save 10%

Gee Why — Tue, 30 Dec 2014 18:51:21 +0000

I guess I really can’t complain because a ten percent discount is still a ten percent discount. Although I think the tax and bottling fees essentially negates that saved 10% off the $1.95 bottled water.

Signs of Hawaii: WE > i

Gee Why — Tue, 18 Nov 2014 19:07:07 +0000

Yup, grammatically correct with the plural of “we” being greater than the singular “I.” Okay, so strictly speaking, the “i” should be capitalized, but you get the reference being parodied.

Signs of Hawaii: No Thrashing

Gee Why — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 18:00:12 +0000

I really don’t know what to make of this sign other than thrashing must really be an issue. This sign was posted all over Simply Halloween, a seasonal store in Windward Mall with great discounts on Halloween-themed items.

To be honest, I don’t know what “thrashing” means in this context, and Urban Dictionary isn’t much help with their definitions. Whatever the case may be, just remember – NO THRASHING!

But now, I am curious what brought on all these signs. I shoulda asked one of the workers about this…

Signs of Hawaii: Private Property

Gee Why — Fri, 17 Oct 2014 18:00:46 +0000

See that little placard on the ground? It’s repeatedly placed every ten feet or so in the Ward area. What’s it say?

Private property
Permission to use
Revocable
At any time

I’m guessing that line on the ground separates the public sidewalk from the private property. So you can hang out behind the line (and sign), but you can be revoked at any time while on the other side.

You Must Levitate at Ward Centre

Gee Why — Fri, 12 Sep 2014 18:00:30 +0000

If you’re going to ride the escalators at Ward Centre, you must use your powers of levitation. Otherwise how can you abide by their safety rules?

No bare feet, no slippers, AND no sneakers. What’s left?!? Yup, you guessed it – levitation.

Signs of Hawaii: Keep Refrigeated

Gee Why — Sat, 26 Jul 2014 18:00:52 +0000

Okay, okay, I’ll ultimately overlook these gaffes because I don’t want to be banned from Liliha Bakery Coco Puffs. And I know they’re overwhelmed getting their new location fully operational. But the mistakes on their boxes? Yikes.

Here’s their box.

Liliha Bakery box

Look closer at the instructions to keep “refrigeated.”

“Keep refrigeated”

Maybe I should leave a message at lilihabakeryhawaii.com. Oh wait, or is that lilihabakeerykawaii.com??? Ow, mistakes in the Assurance of Quality section.

Assurance of Quality

But both you and I know, it’s what’s in the box that really matters.

Signs of Hawaii: “Contruction”

Gee Why — Fri, 25 Jul 2014 23:01:38 +0000

Oh dear. This is your vocation, your job, this is what you do. Please don’t misspell construction (twice).

Contruction *Danger*
