Thats why i hate people saying “turn the volume knob right” … I know what they mean but still. You know, just to have something to hate.

Hence right (left).

Am I the only one seeing this?

Proud Norwegian who has seen similar signs many times.

And, the “button” thing could be right (wrong) (lol) because, sometimes, if you want to lock doors in Norway, you might have to use a little button thingy, which I personally think is very scary Dx

They got “lock” right, just above “look”, so yeah, I do think it’s probably a typo…
