Because it is a standard telephone keypad. They don't special order ATM keypads.
How about this one. Those outside the U.S. may not understand it, but I got the biggest kick out of an intersection in Texas that had 4 Yield signs posted -- possibly the only 4-way yield in the country.
Every lift (elevator for those in the USA!) has braille on its buttons and yet they are all in a different shape, position and layout - how on earth is a blind person supposed to find them in order to read them?
When I see those signs, I wonder why they're so angry - and if there are cross blind people, why hasn't someone tried to calm them down, instead of just installing a sign?
Our family fun is with the caution signs that say 'cross winds'; we call them 'annoyed breezes'.
I didn't realise doors were animate beings, who could feel emotions such as "alarm".
I'm sure there must be other examples too.Humans.
No corpses? damn spoilsports

Makes the 'warning may contain nuts' label on a jar of salted cashews the other week pale by comparison.
Still a shame about the corpses though, you never know when a severed human head might come in handy....

Not bad for someone with severe dyscalculia eh?
And yes I am a ***

And I thought my days spent lighting up smokes in math class were fun but ultimately fruitless

I found it pretty funny

Night people.
In Sweden those signs are "drive slow living children" as though you were at a drive-thru zoo. It did actually take me a few moments to read your one the right way, I thought that's rude like saying "handicapped children at play"...
Yes, that's how I always read it as well. It should be written like "SLOW! CHILDREN AT PLAY" if it is to properly convey the intended meaning.
The "living children" signs sound hilarious, what other kinds of children would there be... Dead ones?
