Monday - Was this shop built by idiots

Sometimes I wonder what goes through people’s heads. Let me tell you why! I was in a shop today, and for the life of me I can’t understand why there was a door where it was. I’ll get to that bit in a moment, and how I came to be in a shop with a doorway that leads to nowhere.

I was on a day off again today, and so after recovering my car (I couldn’t find it at first, and thought it had been towed away). It wasn’t on the street that I walked up and down looking for it. As it turns out I needed to turn left, and then left again out of the pub to the street I left it on, and not right and right again. You can imagine my chagrin when I eventually found the car. Lucky I never called the police to report it missing/stolen.

Once I found it (very relieved) I headed home – so I thought. Because the car wasn’t parked where I thought it was, and I don’t really know my way around very well, I was actually driving away from my house, not towards it. I was really doing a very good impression of Homer Simpson this morning.

Anyway, once I figured out my mistake I turned and headed the right direction. Because I had some time on my hands, I thought that I would go into the local DIY shop, Bunnings Warehouse. If you think of B&Q cross it with a large garden centre, you are about there for the size of this Bunnings. I didn’t need anything from there; it is just I like to look at all the stuff. I’d never been in this one before.

While browsing in store, at the end of one of the aisles I came upon this door, with a warning sign saying it was alarmed, and it was a fire door. It was a glass door, and when I looked through it, I could see the rest of Bunnings through the glass. “Very Strange!” I thought to myself.

I walked to the other end of the aisle, and up the next on, and at the end of the aisle, there was the other side of this door, but without any handles, or warnings on it. I guess that you can only go through it one direction.

So there was this fire door in the middle of a large warehouse that leads to the middle of a large warehouse, and nothing above it, or either side of it. No it wasn’t for sale. Very strange!!!
