The Ol’ Switcheroo
Let’s talk about the positives first. We’ve never been able to use a urinal while in a stall with a door that we could lock. If you are the kind of person who can get a little gun-shy, this is going to be a dream come true. You can step inside, close the door, and relax while emptying yourself out.
Now let’s switch over to the bad side of things. You’re a brave man indeed if you want to use that sit-down toilet. We’re guessing it’s the kind of thing you only use while you’re under a whole lot of pressure and don’t have any other options for dealing with your issue. The person in charge of installing these two seems to have not had enough coffee while doing this work.
“Rest” Room
If you’ve ever wanted to get comfortable with the other people using the restroom at the same time as you, now is your chance. Most public bathrooms have some kind of dividers between the stalls and the urinals, even if they’re just nominal barriers. This place apparently didn’t really feel like doing that. It looks like there is some kind of barrier over on the left, but nothing other than that.
If you want to use the hand drier, you have to stand right next to the person using the potty. If you’re using the potty and you want to grab something to clean up, you’re going to have to stretch your hand up quite a bit. And what’s with the curved metal railings everywhere? Is this the wheelchair-accessible bathroom?
The Worst Security Gate Ever
At first glance, there’s nothing too wrong with this gate. It’s just a gate with a little keypad next to it...what’s the issue? But then you realize that it wouldn’t be very good at its job of keeping certain people out if it’s literally built like a ladder. Seriously, look at that – even a child could climb that sort of thing, and they probably do on a regular basis.
We’re not sure where this gate is found or what it’s guarding, but we’d put a little bit of money on it being security for an apartment or homes of some other kind. The people who live there probably aren’t all that pleased at their safety being risked in this way. Maybe there’s another door beyond that isn’t as easy to circumvent.
Roller Coaster Ride
Another photo showing the daily struggles that people with disabilities may come across. This one looks pretty dangerous whether the person is going up or down the slope.
Hopefully, no one tries either option, unless they're in for a little action, because this is a roller coaster ride.
Why is This Door Always Locked?
This picture looks like it was taken inside a university or college, and as someone who has been in those kinds of buildings, let’s just say this isn’t the craziest piece of architecture you can find. Behind that door is some kind of art studio or science lab that has always had a door there that always stays locked. And every once in a while, some student realizes that it’s the same door that could potentially plunge him or her to death if it were opened.
But there’s also an elevator right below it, so maybe it leads to an elevator shaft, and it’s a remaining piece from an era when stairs led to the second level instead of an elevator. Most universities are just cobbled-together construction projects, so this makes sense.
