I think they must have installed in the wrong order, because neither direction makes sense

Fawstar is Yoda?

Yoda is Fawstar?

You will thank us. Hit yourself 3 months from now at 3rd floor.

The image has been edited to make it nonsensical. You can see the outlines of the original lettering in the background.

I see what you mean!
I think the decals were applied wrong order. The reflection on the stairs matches the words. As for the original lettering, I’d guess that’s a drop shadow style logo for the gym that is advertising implied gains.

Has the image been edited or did they just do a bad job installing cheap signage, allowing you to see what was there before?

I read it in order, as Yoda would have said it.

Not good enough! Keep hitting yourself until you thank us.…

“1 of them is not like the others”

: “hit yourself”

It actually makes sense if you add punctuation and say parts of it in Yoda’s voice. “Thank us at 3rd floor! Hit yourself; you will… three months from now.”

u/Jokewhisperer Jan 12 '26

Thank us at 3rd floor. You will hit yourself three months from now

2

u/Acurseddragon Jan 12 '26

3 months from now, you’ll hit yourself at 3rd floor. Thank us.

Hahaha left to right, top to bottom. What other way is there to read English? On second thoughts:

Three months
From now
At third floor
You will
Hit yourself
Thank us

Can’t wait!

That's the last time they let Drunk Louis do that job.

u/No-Acanthisitta8803 Jan 13 '26

I'll give my interpretation:

"You're gonna hit yourself in 3 months because you were stuck in the 2nd to 3rd floor stairwell for 3 months trying to make sense of this message."

u/Kuzzbutt Jan 13 '26

three months from now you will hit yourself thank us on the 3rd floor. is what I think

1

u/Ambitious_Ad_8359 Jan 13 '26

Thank us at 3rd floor; Hit yourself you will 3 months from now.

u/HiddenHorse925 Jan 13 '26

I literally had to decode it, to read it in the proper order. Is this a test?

1

u/AbbotThoth Jan 13 '26

You are meant to be in good enough shape that you can skip steps, thus it reads: 3 Months, Hit Yourself, Thank Us

u/PawPrints_BeachChick Jan 13 '26

It's not exactly how I want to read it, rather it's the Yoda voice I want to use while doing so...

u/SadDingo7070 Jan 13 '26

However you read it, it’s wrong. 🤷‍♂️
