Officials criticise ‘feng shui’ after sofa and cushions dumped on main road
‘The feng shui of placing furnishings on the highway is all wrong.’
Feng shui can be a great way of harmonising belongings in a space – from getting your desk near a window or your bed away from a door.
But the principles don’t really extend to the best arrangement for dumping your sofa on a busy road.
That’s where the Arizona Department of Transport comes in.
It needed to alert motorists to a sofa and cushions partially blocking the road near Buckeye.
And its sassy feng shui quip caught people’s attention.
“For the record, the feng shui of placing furniture on a highway is all wrong,” the tweet read.
It later updated the account to explain the items had been moved, adding: “On a side note, anyone want a sofa? Going cheap, just pay for shipping.”
One Twitter follower asked if there was an upturn in abandoned furniture around the start/end of the month as people are more likely to move house.
