In Case Of Fire

My apartment complex, in its infinite wisdom, put an exit sign in my hallway. Let me fill you in on some details. What you see in the picture are two storage rooms at the end of my hall. There are only two apartments in my hallway and we face eachother. We are both at the end of a 12 foot long hallway and there are a total of 4 apartments in my building (2 on the lower floor, 2 up - I'm upstairs). So when I leave my apartment, I turn immediately to the right - there is a wall and window to my immediate left (behind the camera in this show)- I walk 10 feet, round a waist-high bannister/wall thingy, and go down 10 stairs and take 3 steps forward to the outside world. Including locking my door the process often takes as long as 7 seconds. They located the exit sign at the top of the stairs. There is no exit there. Sure, its near some stairs, but it looks really stupid because it's positioned above my storage room, as if that were supposed to be the safe way out. Besides, there IS NO OTHER WAY OUT. You can only go one direction down my "hallway". If there's a fire bad enough that I can't see out in the hall and I need an exit sign to illuminate the way, I'm going to jump off my deck into the neighbor's grass (8 feet below) anyhow... then park my car up against the building... but that's another story altogether.
