'To use the disabled lift, please come upstairs': 30 People who had just one job and still goofed it up

Jobs, how do they work? These people made various levels of mistakes that they really should have caught before it went out to the public. 

Below are 30 people who had just one job to get right, and they couldn't even do that. The funniest versions of this to me are translators or transcribers who messed up. There are people who were writing copy, needed translation to another language, and somehow that never happened. Then you end up with TV captions of a person who says a Korean word, and the subtitles just read, "speaks Korean" instead of actually saying what the guy was saying. 

That's a tiny goof — but there was one furniture store that wrote a sentence in English, then below that reads, "the same text but in Arabic," in Arabic. That's a big facepalm right there. Hopefully anyone who could read it got a good laugh out of their editing lapse. 

Next up, this boss insisted his employee keep cooking until closing time — and he reminded the employee over and over, until the employee agreed to do just that.
