Reading Skills Needed

A random guy just came in my office, looking for Ms X from Finance Dept. This happens on a fairly regular basis despite the fact that there is a whacking great sign on our door saying PLANNING UNIT. Do they think we're kidding? Or is it just some freak trait, like people testing Wet Paint signs?

This oversight of signs nearly drove another collegue of mine to distraction. We were working on a project and the office assisgned to the project used to be the payroll office (or some similiar office often visited by randoms). She'd get 3-4 people a day asking her finance stuff even after she put a sign in Kinyarwanda saying something like "The payroll office has moved to the 3rd floor, please address all enquires to the 3rd floor".

It been often remarked upon that there is no reading culture here, but does this also apply to reading door signs?!

I won't even start on the fact that most managers here need to seriously develop some listening skills...
