Below these three icons you see some braille.

…It says “restrooms” in English. In fact it even uses ⠌ as an abbreviation of “st”, something only done in English and Irish braille.

You then place your fingertip on the braille. It isn’t actually raised.

You then realize that it isn’t even plural restrooms in the first place, it’s single-user.

    Incidentally, the area with the three different holes for different kinds of trash, the holes were marked “liquids / papp / rest”

    I have literally zero clue why they decided to mark the hole for the liquids in English, the hole for cardboard in Norwegian, and then the hole for food scraps I guess in both.

    Just in general every time I go to a fast food place my mental MP3 player starts playing “Once in a Lifetime” because of the absolutely bizarre state of which things are written in English and which things are written in Norwegian.
