It's like dumb motherfuckers who complain about foot tracks appearing on lawns when you have pretty loving obvious 100% undeniable proof right there that they should've put a path there instead of grass

i'm guessing there are a lot more men than women at an engineering university?

most people are right handed and push the door open with the right hand. in order to hit the mens touchplate you would need to put your hand across your body and down to the side. much easier to just hit the door higher up. the womens touch plate is on the right and will be less of an issue for women who tend to be shorter than men.

also its a sign you don't have anyone doing maintenance in your building which is real gross.

one of the worst days at my old job was when the local cigar shop brought in their failing PoS pc. it had been running 24/7/365 for years in a shop where multiple people were constantly smoking cigars.

heavy, sticky, bright-orange dust that was inches thick on nearly every surface. it was horrifying.

tw: summoning my inner fishmech:

The oligodynamic effect (from Greek oligos "few", and dynamis "force") is a biocidal effect of metals, especially heavy metals, that occurs even in low concentrations. The effect was discovered by Karl Wilhelm von Nägeli, although he did not identify the cause.[1] Brass doorknobs and silverware both exhibit this effect to an extent.
