Why does the wall in the bathroom say “it wasn’t me”?


I think of the first literal floor at the bottom of the building as the first floor, because it’s the first floor I see and touch when entering the building. Then when I go up 1 staircase, I encounter the second floor I have seen in that building, so I think of it as the second floor. 1 floor + 1 flight of stairs = 2 total floors, and I’m now standing on the second of those 2.
Saying ground floor feels weird to me because it’s not associated with a number, it’s a G, when every other floor of the building is associated with a number. I’ve never used G to represent 1 or 0 in any other context.
It’s literally just two correct but different ways of looking at something and we can talk in circles about it all day. If I had grown up outside of the US, I’m sure calling the first floor the ground floor would make more sense to me.


But if they said “my bedroom is on the 2nd floor” what would you think?
Some TVs have tech called ACR (Automatic Content Recognition) that literally reads pixels on the screen for identifying information about what content is being displayed. If your TV has ACR enabled, it’s possible it’s tracking what you watch, even if you’re viewing it through a device like Chromecast.
If your TV doesn’t have ACR or the TV itself isn’t connected to the Internet, then you’re probably fine.
But it doesn’t really matter for the ad if it’s the same exact truck, 99% of viewers will never notice and Coca Cola saved thousands on the production on the ad. Not saying it’s good, just stating that’s why they allowed the inconsistent truck into the ad.
