One of the things that I find frustrating is trying to see the address numbers on mailboxes when I’m going somewhere for the first time. For example, when I was trying to go to the veterinarian’s office the other day I was driving slowly down the road looking for the numbers on the buildings. I noticed that a lot of the businesses had some really nice address plaques on their buildings, but I was frustrated because the address that I was given did not match up to the numbers on the buildings on the road. So it seemed to me as if the post office had renumbered the buildings on the street but that no one on the street had bothered to change their lawn plaques to reflect the changes that were made. I finally found the office just by seeing the name of the company on a big sign out by the road.
It wasn’t until I was actually walking up to the door when I saw a couple of house numbers mounted on whitehall mailboxes near the door that had the business name, the doctors names and the street address on it. There was no way that any of that could have been read from the road. That is one of my biggest complaints about businesses – sometimes when you are looking for a particular address you just can’t find the building numbers and that gets incredibly frustrating.
