Not Quite The Refreshing Change They’d Hoped For

My old office once refreshed the paintwork throughout, but for some reason, they decided to repaint every other pillar red. The walls and the rest of the pillars were white. The carpet was a dark grey.

So, of course, our partially-sighted colleague — whose vision beyond a distance of about six inches from his nose was limited to “dark blobs” and “light blobs” — found himself walking into the red pillars several times.

The next week, all of the red pillars had been repainted with a thick white stripe wrapped around them horizontally about three feet from the ground. They actually looked much better than the plain red pillars had in the first place!
