Patti in Madrid, Spain couldn’t help but laugh when she saw this notice. “I kept imagining all the losers buzzing random apartments, asking, ‘Hey, is this the dental clinic?’” — presumably, until one of the frustrated residents posted this sign.
Translation: The dental clinic is at the button that says “dental clinic.” Thank you!

One of the few PANs that make me sympathize more with the note writer than the receivers. Customers are stupid.

Maybe if they wrote it in English more people would understand.

It is, though, a proper use of quotation marks.

I like how in Spain they have degrees instead of office suite numbers

But do the quadruple bangs (¡¡!!) cancel out the proper quotation use?

Maybe the errant buzzer-pushers would be better served by visiting the Eye Clinic instead.

Nahhh
Used to live in the front apartment of a quad, and random people (who didn’t even live there) were constantly ringing our bell, looking for the manager. I finally put up an index card that said, “Manager Does Not Live Here.” They kept ringing, and would say, “I know the manager doesn’t live here, but I’m looking for an apartment, so could you tell me how to contact him or her?”
Finally had to swap the card for one that said, “Ring this bell and die.”
Guess what…

They need to follow the purple arrows to the land of the lost shopping cart. There you will find your dental clinic.

Maybe the people who keep ringing the wrong bell are the ones who are afraid to go to the dentist. If you can’t find the clinic, you won’t have to sit in a chair and have someone poke you with needles and drill holes in your teeth, right?

That’s all well and good, but which button is for the clinic? There are two.

Get this all the time where I live and have never understood it.
Do they just mash the intercom at random and hope for the best?
Or do they believe you can’t have separate people at the same postal address, so the buttons must all be the same?

This one is so perfectly passive aggressive. I love it.
