For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

My guess is it's some very old building that has been added on to over hundreds of years, and everything made sense at each step of the process.
This sign was clearly made all at once and not added to. They could have at a bare minimum put the ranges in order
Clearly they were talking about the rooms.
I mean, I see why they did it this way. Off camera to the right is a set of stairs. Go up to get to some rooms, go down to get to others. That's why the arrows have a slight slant to them. It makes more sense to have the arrow pointing down to be on bottom, and the arrow pointing up to be on top.
that doesn't excuse the order of the first two lines both vertically and horizontally
That’s the order that the units are in. Why would you put further units first?
I mean yeah you get a new one each time.
It feels like its in the UK so it would make sense
