Welcome to NoSafetySmokingFirst!

For images where the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.

The post that started it all:

NO | SMOKING

Why would they write that? Even the intended way, what the hell?

Looks like a perfume shop, which is made to make ypur skin smelly.

"Can't stop, smell" seems like a good description of the horrible stench anywhere near perfume shops.

people walking in are doing so because they agree with the door, those passing by do so because they agree with the wall

it's kind of a silly-clever design
