    I think I know what floor I want to go to now…

  2. Karen says:

    Corporate business model WIN! ;-)

  3. katerpiller43 says:

    Wow…

  4. David Hayter says:

    Looks tasty…

  5. ellahydew says:

    I know plenty of people who must work on that floor…everything they do is half-assed.

  6. Matrix says:

    I think that is where the contractors are located.

  7. Fuzzeh says:

    I think that’s a phone.

  8. Ashley says:

    Nothing as unsightly as half an ass. lol

  9. B3llit0 says:

    It gets a 1 because it contains the child-in-a-panda-costume pointing.

  10. Ashley says:

    So is that panda symbol Pedo-panda, the Chinese cousin to Pedo-bear? :3

  11. TiaLove says:

    Its the sexual harrassment… Panda! (sexual harrassment makes me a saaad panda!)

  12. Dork says:

    What’s this? Why is the picture here? I can’t see any engrish in this, I can’t see anything wrong with this. It looks perfectly normal to me – oh, what’s that, Mr. Pointing Panda?… Oh, I can see the funny part of the picture now! :D Yay! Thanks, Pandaman, I’m finally able to see the humour in these pictures!! Woohoo!

    Okay, on some pictures with small / a lot of text, MAYBE have the panda to point it out so we don’t have to read dozens and dozens of lines, but do we really need him on pictures like this?

    Meh, I guess there’s not a lot we can do, I’m not up for the vote-1 crusade that seems to be brewing.

    • B3llit0 says:

      I will be more than willing to stop giving 1-votes to these on two conditions:

      1) Redesign the thing to not look like a 5-year-old in a Halloween costume that just wet his pants and knows he’s done a bad thing.
      2) Put it only on the pictures that REALLY need it. This does not need it, nor did the “place that touches dogs” or any of the others in which it appears.

      Until then, vote “no” on these pictures when they’re in the voting queue, and give them ratings of 1 when they make it through. It’s got to go.

  13. Karen says:

    If 357 = 1, and ASS = 1/2, what does 1/4 equal??? Hmmm, going to my happy place to ponder this conundrum.

    • Kit says:

      It my math serves my right, it must equal π. Or perhaps the circumference of ass… squared.
      Ya know, I just remembered that I failed out of calculus.

      • chez says:

        maybe you spent too much time thinking of asses. 1/2 the class in fact.

      • Karen says:

        Is it ass squared or to the second power? 1/2 ass to the second power would equal 1? (I never took calculus and barely passed algebra. That’s why I’m not an accountant making some decent money!)

  14. Erik says:

    These look like small wooden tiles that somebody arranged on a table to look like a messed up elevator. Engrish isn’t as funny when you make it yourself.

  15. looniebin says:

    If “357″ was “337,” it’d be double awesome.

  16. amanda says:

    i don’t see why everyone feels the need to hate on the panda (which was done by the creator of the website).. laugh at the picture, then move on. by the way it’s neither an elevator nor “tiles on a table”. it is a machine to buy tickets for a train.

    • Grrr Power says:

      Hear hear!
      I’m getting a little tired of people complaining about mistranslation nuances, panda icons, fonts, and whatever else.
      Like Amanda says…. laugh, then move on.
      …or go create something of your own, elsewhere.

    • Something evil says:

      If that’s so, it begs asking: who would want a train ticket to someone’s ass? Is the ass at least buyer-sellectable? Because if it is, these people must be making a fortune!

  17. Devil says:

    Actually it’s from one of many Portuguese train ticket offices, and the 1/2 and 1/4 stand for the discounts some people can have on the ticket: paying only half of it, or a quarter.

    Sadly, ASS stands for Assinatura, which is a kind of pass. Normally a month pass or a 30 day pass.

  18. lolbukkit says:

    THANK GOD THE PANDA TOLD ME WHAT WAS FUNNY!

  19. Irina says:

    I’M SO SORRY FOR DISAPOINTING EVERYBODY, BUT THIS IS NOT ELEVATOR BUTTONS. THIS AN AUTOMATED TICKET MACHINE FOR TRAIN TICKETS IN PORTUGAL, THAT’S WHY IT HAS WEIRD NUMBERS AND WORDING.
    IT MEANS 1/2 TICKET (FOR CHILDREN)
    AND ASS. IS A SHORT VERSION OF “ASSINATURA” WHICH REFERS TO A MONTHLY CARD FOR TRAIN.

    • random comment says:

      I’m so sorry, but your keyboard is broken… to fix it, please press the Caps Lock key, then turn off your computer and take some time enjoying the outside world.

    • Pretentious White Girl says:

      Cool. Thanx for the not an elevator tip. As for the 1/2 ticket and the Assinatura, whatever. Doesn’t change that it looks damn funny.

      Also, if you’re bothering to “dissapoint” everybody, chances are you’re not sorry. A word of caution, voices of reason are not well appreciated here.

      And I’m looking at this in a library, so SHHH! There’s no need to yell!

  20. kris says:

    If you are 1/2 assed you cannot turn the other cheek.

  21. PT says:

    actually its a machine that sells train tickets…
    the A$$ button is for a 30 day “A$$inatura” (signature)
    the 357 its for 3 day, 5 day and 7 day…

    i guess i can say that i buy a$$ every month :P

    • Roy O'Madness says:

      Stop with the $ sign, there’s no need to censor. It’s not like your mom is a half-assed retard mom and monitors everything you say and do on your computer.

      Which she probably is.

      • x-bert says:

        Hey, moron…
        1) Posting to a thread that’s almost 2 weeks old – FAIL
        2) All the LOL sites have a ‘filter’ on them, and.. you may have noticed… most times if there’s a curse in your post, it takes longer before it actually appears on the page – at times MUCH longer. So, many censor themselves so they can get their comments to show up immediately.
        ..
        To summarize – You FAIL.

        • boo_bug007 says:

          I concur with x-bert.

          O’Madness=insult FAIL
          also:
          O’Madness=full-a$$ed retard who makes not sense of insult tried.

  22. mockingpenguin says:

    HALF ASS! lol

  23. Brigid says:

    Maybe it stands for something…
    …..wow….. fail.
