Stuck on the 7th floor of a building because the elevators have shutdown and the staircase is blocked by the fire? Dont panic - just look for something called the "Emergency Laddey" - also known as Hinan Hashigo [避難はしご]. We probably need an Engrish category. Photo taken at my local supermarket.

Nice... Why is it called a laddey and what is it, a staircase or ladder?
(ID #433991) Posted on 2009/01/03 18:12
I am confused too, is it a staircase or ladder then?
(ID #434008) Posted on 2009/01/03 18:27
I guess check and see if there is a fire escape outside? If not, then make sure to call fire dept in case no one else has yet. (In US its 911, what is it in Japan?) Then hopefully I kind of know the layout of the floor. This way if there is no escape, I can access perhaps the fire hose or activate the emergency sprinklers... help slow down the fire in some way. Oh and, when you said staircase is blocked, can't go up or down?
(ID #433992) Posted on 2009/01/03 18:14
Err I meant to ask can't go up either? I figure you definitely meant the staircase is blocked to go down.
(ID #433995) Posted on 2009/01/03 18:18
Is prayign and crying included in your plan too?
(ID #433996) Posted on 2009/01/03 18:18
Nah not really, I work for 911 services in US, so I have an idea of what to do and don't do. One of them is to not panic... its definitely easier said than done, esp when you're actually in the situation. (Can't be panicking as a 911 operator/dispatcher when things happen.)

I handle stress situatiosn liek car accidents very well. Course it helps that i work Ski patrol at a local resort in the winter. First time I ever had to keep my cool in something other then a drill was New years day this year, so Thursday. I was just riding aroudn in the terrian parka nd some girl injurred her lower back and dealt herself a pretty nasty concusion we were guesing. All I could do was shut down the jump because I was off duty and didnt have my ID or med bag. Playing Human Pillon isnt fun...

Dunno, its just something some people do. I just thought it might catch a laugh but I was wrong. I apologize if it offended you.

Seems to be a sort of rope-ladder. Pretty neat, unless it's too short and you only get halfway....

There is a lady behind the door who will take you down so she will serve as a ladder. Therefore, laddey.

Laddey = Lady = Emergency Ladies? that might explain the NO MEN stick figure...... Or maybe even a place to hide your candy girl when an emergency/need/urge arises

I would like an emergency lady then. Do they come in 2D? ^^
(ID #434061) Posted on 2009/01/03 19:28
hmmmmmmm maybe behind da door is the dakimakura which saves you as u land on it when u are approaching the 1st floor.
(ID #434086) Posted on 2009/01/03 19:53
Wow that doesn't even sound close to ladder. Normally they just mix the "r" with "l" but this time they're using a "y."

So, it's an "emergency laddey" but customers are to restrain from entering? Oh well, I doubt anyone will obey the rules in times of panic =P

I agree with the akidora guy. Engrish do rock. "It makes you better feeling" Only in this case, only japanese speaking persons will be saved.

Behind that door is a gorgeous Lady (Laddey) in fishnets and a short skirt with a large ladder running her thigh that I need to climb?
(ID #434171) Posted on 2009/01/03 21:32
Or perhaps there's an "emergency lad" behind that door on a standby to rescue you! :P
(ID #434183) Posted on 2009/01/03 21:40
too bad it's not an "emergency lassie", if you need a girl for "special" emergencies XD

I think its just a minor typo... the "r" in the dictionary must have looked like a "y" to the guy who made the signage :)

I got the impression that it was the women's bathroom and that it was a no men allowed sign and the they misspelled LADY by adding DE to make LADDEY...
