It's like you jumped into my head, and stole everything I was going to say.

If you have to actually think where hands should be on a clock at that particular time then something is already wrong. A good clock should be able to tell you what the time is in a single glance and not require deciphering.

Perhaps the clock was not designed to be read by those who need to stare directly upwards to see it.

Just ask the person you are talking to on your cell phone what time it is.

I couldn't agree more... but probably not in the way that you mean.

My biggest gripe at the stadium is just navigation. I can't find the right stairway or escalator, and when I do find one I'm usually being harassed by a swarm of cranky 75 year old men in red shirts telling me I'm in an unauthorized area. First ballpark I've ever been to where I ended up in an unauthorized area.

I thought I was going to get in trouble one day because the usher kept yelling at people to "keep it moving, keep it moving, .." as we transferred from one escalator to the next. Naturally, I slowed down. He didn't appreciate it, and got in my face while repeating "Keep it moving". I told him to cram it, I'd had it with mean old ushers that day.

Was ever a clock designed thusly?

If you are in Busch 3 and sitting directly under the clock and you want to know what time it is, what you do is LOOK FORWARDS because there's a digital clock near the press box.
