My brain tends to overlook the big BIG buttons. Like when I was on vacation last month and they had a different cashier system and I couldn't find the "pay with credit card" button. I tried every other button on the screen, until I gave up and asked another person. They looked at me in absolute disbelief an touched the BIG button that took up about half of the screen. To me it just came into existence at this point of time, it just wasn't there seconds before the other person touched it.
I'm really careful about opening doors though, and I surely would have seen "emergency" written on the door.That's bad UI, not you. Your brain was pattern matching for something that looked like a button, didn't lock onto the non-button thing, because why would it?

What? I-I don't understand what ... what does ... miss, can you open the door please?

signs are invisible to people. at my workplace we had to lock one of our double doors because of a maintenance issue and i put a sign saying "use other door" with a huge arrow pointing to the other door. the instant i walked away after attaching the sign directly on the door handle, someone tried the locked door. pushing the handle with the sign on it.

To be honest, I sometimes miss these because I'm tall and they're so low, by the time I'm at the door, I don't see anything obvious. I have to bend my head down to notice there's writing on a button that otherwise looks like the top of a fob scanner or something.
Those big chunky buttons that push like emergency stop buttons but are green, they're helpful.

Sounds like when you start sleeping through your alarm clock, and the phone alarm, and the other other alarm clock.

Receptionist: DID YOU NOT SEE THE SIGNS!?
Patient: bitch I'm blind.

Many years ago, before we automated our deployment, we got our devs to do it manually. The guy that wrote the instructions in bold red letters at the top, put something like "log in as X" and no one would follow. He asked me what to do, I said, "put it as step 1 instead of bold letters at the top". Never had anyone mess up afterwards. Thank God we automated it though.
Our brains work in weird ways.

This is like when there are way too many signs for the restroom at a restaurant - I like to imagine how each & everyone added has a little origin story to tell.

I've always been too terrified of bumping those to let the intrusive thoughts in.
The very first time I put my then-newborn to bed without anyone else present, I accidentally bumped the back/top of their head against the top frame of their bedding area. They made the saddest expression then started screaming their despair. Even if I hadn't been worried about it before then, I don't know that I've ever felt so much guilt or apologized so much, nor been so worried about long term consequences (to their development, not to myself).
Fortunately, they seem to be developing well and, though I can't forget that happening, I very much doubt they even remember it to be upset.

That may or may not be a good thing (I'm joking I'm sure it's all fine!)

There are (still) a surprising amount of people that only ever saw and understood one mechanism 30-50 years ago.

I have no trouble understanding why this has to be this way.
Twice a year our facility has a staff day where we get hit up by aflac and find out how we are doing as a organization. We have huge placards we place in the walkways leading up to the doors. Our meeting room is right by those doors and inevitably we will have people who ignore all the signs saying closed walk to the doors and pull them several times before finally reading the sign that we also put on the door.

And sometimes you get so used to there being brightly colored ads,
corporate propagandamotivational messages and various warning signs everywhere, that you develop a blindness for everything too flashy and ignore it until you encounter a roadblock that doesn't yield. -

Had? I bet you they still have people pushing the doors all the time.
Maybe even more now because the button is perfectly camouflaged between all the useless signs.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]It's a nursing excellence award. Pretty prestigious. You can be nominated by a patient or an employee. They write down why they think you are deserving of one on a card and then a panel chooses who gets awarded. There's even a runner-up kind of award if the nurse was in the final considerations but didn't actually win.
