Got wisdom to pour?
1. Outlet placement is typically VIF and determined by electrical code and inspection to ensure such.
2. Take your heels off while driving fsd cannot come fast enough. If you are driving in heels please wear a helmet.
3. “Family Restrooms” are quite common
4. Stop bleaching your dishes? just clean your sink. Splattering bleach in your eyes may be a contributing factor to the light from every angle design criteria.. 70-80 lumens / sqft.
5. Flush. then clean.
6. Take a lunch break.
7. Sounds like a lot of those floors didn’t actually get squeegeed.
8. Why not just bring your own? Search it out..
9. Shipt.
10. To make it more convenient for the cleaning staff or so you can have 20 individual waste receptacles overflowing when they quit?
I can tell you which airport bathrooms were designed by men. Men never have to stand in line.
When I went to university, I originally chose architectural engineering as my major. I wanted to certify my own designs. However, I spent the entire first year being either tokenized, or degraded. I joined a Women’s group and all they talked about were ways to keep yourself safe in the workplace, and how to navigate male coworker’s egos. I switched to a completely different university, and major, the second year.
Doors are often to heavy for a person in a wheelchair to open
Designers need to actually consult with handicapped people
On so much more than doors too
On so much more than doors too. I worked for a bus service provider that actually put in the effort to have a committee on accessable transportation and it was a revaluation.
Yes men need to learn that with automatic flushers, they flush constantly when women use the restroom because they need to stand up and sit down over and over, to wipe front and back, put in or take out a tampon, grab a pad from her bag, etc. Also with the handicap stalls, it makes me so sad that they’re all the way at the end of the room and also when the toilet paper is impossible to reach.

11. That was a urinal, the sinks are around the corner..
12. Returning forgotten purses is surprisingly unprofitable even adjusted for inflation.
13. Power strips and charging docs how do you need more than 2000 watts?
14. What is a math employee?
15. Designer, Architect, DIY I guess they are all words.
16. Walking around a wider and deeper stall would essentially add 3’-4’ to every bathroom. Butt why are we still using toilet paper? Seems archaic.
17. Light and feelings are best communicated verbally functional aspects are best communicated visually.
18. Look up the spot light effect, then travel abroad and get a portable purse hanger..
19. What are you doing in there? Just plan it out and give up a little control.
20. Basic.
