when i went to america last year i went to the EA office in florida and they had these big urinals that were basically like a wall that you piss against and it collects in a tray at the bottom. but the tray and wall-depth were so shallow all you could feel was little minuscule bits of piss spray misting up your ankles. why would anyone do this

Since everyone seems to hate the way stalls are designed, how would you change them? A big curtain that went around 3 sides, like you get around your hospital bed? Personally, I have like zero shame when it comes to using the potty in front of other guys, so I couldn't care less.

criscodisco posted:Since everyone seems to hate the way stalls are designed, how would you change them? A big curtain that went around 3 sides, like you get around your hospital bed? In the upscale mall in West Des Moines there are stalls that are made of faux brick and you open the door and close it with NO GAPS. You're in the stall and its faux brick walls go all the way down to the floor on all 3 sides with the door allowing a small 10" gap on the bottom that goes up about 6 feet like a normal door. It owns and whenever I"m at that mall I make it a point to go there because even if I don't have to poo poo, I think its the best way to allow people to do their duty in a high traffic area. So thats how I'd do it. Put the walls down to the floor, disallow gaps on the front facing door. Bathroom bad design: those sinks where you push the button and it slowly raises back up and then cuts the water off. Who thought this was a good idea? All it does is make the sink harder to use and likely results in MORE water being used because you have to keep pushing and pushing and pushing. Here is one that I think is poorly designed that we all deal with: Shoe laces. Yes, yes, Velcro is for old people or kids or whatever, but its literally better than shoe laces. They never come undone, they don't snap or break, they can't be tripped over if they are left undone, and you can tighten the shoe up to comfort just as easily or in many cases, easier than shoe laces. Why shoes have these pieces of string that are nothing but trouble is beyond me. From sports to combat to even casual walking, shoe laces are the least secure and most infuriating part of shoes.

At a four way stop or really at any stop sign I always thought you look around and assume the cross traffic will not yield before doing anything.

Only the shoes that I wear to the gym and my hiking boots have laces, but I have never had a single issue like you are describing with them. Velcro looks absolutely ridiculous and I always associate that with very young children and elderly people who smell like old cheese or onion soup.

I was in the army for 6 years and having to lace up my boots all the time was dumb. It made far more sense to have it be velcro or some other method of tightening vs having to lace and relace. Too much can go wrong.

Can one get sufficient leverage with velcro compared to laces, for good tightening? You can't strangle somebody with a piece of velcro. Well, not easily. And with a child's level of dexterity you can double-knot your shoe-laces and then they will almost never come untied. Look on youtube for tutorials. They can probably also teach you to button your own shirts if you have some without zips, as well as tell time on a clock with a big hand and a little hand instead of numbers.

This is the best explanation of where someone could gently caress up tying sholaces: http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/grannyknot.htm considering he was in the military I'd imagine this isn't the problem.

ha ha ha you loving goons Sure, velcro is not socially acceptable for non-retards (children, the old,... retards themselves) due to cultural reasons but to say that velcro isn't a better and more practical solution is stupid, which was his only point. same with zippers over buttons. Don't get me wrong, I don't wear any velcro shoes, and all my coats have buttons because I'm not a farmer, but i will never deny that zippers and velcro > buttons and laces Contribution: OS X:
These 'bad designs' could probably be solved with options in the Settings but Apple doesn't believe in customizing a workspace to maximize your efficiency. They care about uniforimity so they can claim their software is superior due to lack of bugs. When you allow only 18% of the functionality of your (actually good) OS, yeah... I guess you CAN pretend to be "bug free." Then there's iOS... this post was brought to you by a macbook air
