You could either rage at the insensitivity or laugh at the absurdity. Either way, someone took the term differently abled a little too literally here. Or this might be the classic case of firing the intern. No hope exists for a world that can’t even get the fundamentals such as inclusive toilets right.
This could, however, be an apt sign for the times we live in — bare minimums, all bluster, and little to no thought.
That's Just Cruel
Spending a night at a hotel can be difficult for some, especially for those of us who enjoy their home comforts and like to know exactly where everything is and what each switch does. This is why hotels should always opt for the simplest, most obvious designs.
But, alas, someone here thought they should hide the light switch behind the pillow. Is this some kind of sick joke by a designer who enjoys seeing people waking up from accidentally flipping the switch in their sleep?
Cash or Credit?
Want to pay for your parking using cash? Well, good luck finding the right machine for it. If you thought the sign over the machines will help you determine which one to use, you thought wrong.
Unlike what the sign says, trying to feed actual cash into the machine on the left will be one tough job as it only has a credit card slot.
Challenge Accepted!
On the surface, this does not appear to be a massive safety hazard. The slides seem slow and small enough to prevent accidents. But it’s still tempting fate, even though the pole seems thoughtfully padded.
Whoever designed this has overlooked a crucial aspect – kids. Never underestimate the scale at which things can go wrong when kids hurtle down a slide. The chances of getting hurt on this slide might be low, but never a zero.
Find Us if You Can
Cryptic signs are excellent if you’re on a treasure hunt or on a quest to uncover secret societies. Office buildings? Not so much. The folks at Intermezzo (we think that’s what it says) might be testing visitors’ intelligence or don’t want you to find them.
Color us intrigued! Still, something tells us this might be a clever stick drawing for a toilet. The joke is on all of us, any which way.
