When the caution sign needs another caution sign

I was working late on Friday night, and everyone had gone home.  Even the cleaning lady had come through and done her job.

Needing a break from staring at a computer screen all day, I walked over to the washroom...

...and damn near tripped over the pylon that was literally one step past the washroom door.  You know when a caution pylon isn't very effective?  When the pylon itself is more dangerous than the caution it's warning about.  If you wonder how those crazy "Man stuck at work for an entire weekend because he was working late Friday night and had fallen down" stories happen, this is how.
