    @mocax: Because they're socialists. I think it's an apt metaphor for a big government nation like Sweden.


    Socialism is like a manlift without a safety door. Without a free market regulating itself, there is nothing to protect the people against the intrusion of government regulation. Liberal capitalism is a well-maintained freight elevator.


    Suck on that, European Union!!

    @Whisssper: That's a manlift. See above. Socialism works on paper, but, like the manlift, if you ride it too long, it will crush you under its jackboot.


    Free-market capitalism is a state-of-the-art buttonless Japanese glass elevator. It works perfectly without any flaw whatsoever.


    Old Europe will fail because of their overdependence on state welfare and outdated freight movers.

    Not to blame the OP, but can't you just stand NEXT to your container, instead of directly behind it. Then you just have trashy water and coffee grounds on you instead of....well, death.

    @TheyCallMeStacey_GitEmSteveDave: Sweden is a socialist country. That means they only have two dimensions. But, thanks to capitalism, we Americans can move along the X, Y, and Z axis.


    Suck on that, European Union!!

    People laugh, but if there's a sign warning against it, it's usually because it actually happened to someone.

    @Samutz: Happened to MORE than one person. Usually dumb signs don't happen because one person did something. Wording in manuals, yes. Which is why the NJ State Drivers Manual tells you not to grab burning wires in your dashboard with your bare hands, and reminds you to run TOWARDS the train if your car is stuck on the tracks. This is because some idiot took the Goofus route, and not the Gallant. (Goofus and Gallant explained here: [en.wikipedia.org] )

    Uhm, there's a bar in Phoenix that takes you from heaven to hell at Midnight, and doesn't require that you cram your ass into an elevator with people who don't use deodorant.

    Never, EVER stick anything in an elevator to keep the door open that you cannot afford to have torn off.
