It was basically a test of whether or not you had a clue if you worried about it.

I searched amazon, but I didn't do a search for collapsible safety cones, I searched for EZ-Stor. I try to stick to the same brand otherwise it makes writing the post a mess, but maybe I should have done a little more homework -- the second link looks very similar. Clinton, Those are some great uses for safety cones. Reminds me of a Simpson's rerun the other night. Apu had a Danger High Voltage sign on the Kwik-E-Mart bathroom door to keep people away. Same concept, people pay attention to things that are out of place. mike t,

Clinton,

I think they were less than $10. Hardly ever need them but I decided I wanted them since for some reason people don't seem to understand that the ADT van parked backwards in the ATM lane means that the ATM, which has it's hood open and chest open, is not in service. Putting the cones out wards off the constant stream of, "is that machine working?" questions while I try and do my job. I've also put them in front of doors when I have a ladder on the far side of a door I'm unable to secure or prop open. More effective than a sign on the door.
