I don't doubt they exist but I've never heard a train announcement use the "in the direction of travel" part. The ones I've been on either say left/right or even not say a direction but simply open the doors with lights flashing above it
4 of my previous employers have either gone bankrupt or represent a different agency and I feel like if someone looked over my resume right now they would automatically assume I was lying. Or cursed.
I don't consider myself an incredibly intelligent person but what I've noticed is that the ones on the lower end of the scale don't understand the consequences of a bad situation and the truly intelligent ones understand the best way to deal with issues is optimistic/realistic. Very situational.
I felt like it might be offensive to include in the original post but I started wondering this as I was watching a lady take care of her little brother with special needs. Both in their 50s and recently lost their father. I could tell he understood that his dad had gone away and he was showing some distress but it made me wonder how well he understands the situation and if that affects their ability to process it emotionally.
All that to basically say I'm wondering if ignorance really is bliss
You've made me reconsider my thought. Tables are upside down cups that don't hold liquids very well.
