Although everyone enjoys cleaning, it would probably help you improve, like target practice. Who doesn’t want to be a sharpshooter? Or a sharp… why, look at the time…
Well, we didn’t all go to the Midvale School For The Gifted.
My experience is double doors generally open from the middle with hinges by the wall. I presume this doubles the given odds. My pet peeve is when one of the doors is kept locked for mysterious reasons. I cannot fathom any real benefit to that, yet it is everywhere, and would result in the odds as given.
Anyone remember the round mice on the 1st gen candy-colored iMacs? They were ergonomically awful. Literally unusable for any amount of time doing actual production work, as I did as a graphic designer back then.
One door has the actual lock on it, and the other door has little levers, accessible on the surface in between the doors, that slide into the top and bottom of the frame. The person who unlocks the place unlocks the actual lock because they have to, but are too lazy to flip the little levers. This means that if one of a pair of double doors is unlocked, it’ll almost always be the one with the keyhole on it.
Double doors are justified
because they’re comfortably wide.
Therefore you only half undo ’em;
and therefore nothing can get through ’em.
– Piet Hein
Revolving doors are better still
With heavy loads, they take some skill
They trap in all that extra heat
And slow down people from the street
To keep out all the riff and raff
And give the door people a laugh
Or just A
Grr. That was <Cntrl>A
You can take a picture and then blow it up, right?
This is worse than just annoying: I’m convinced that it contributes to people driving at night without headlights, because hey, they can read their instruments. Back in the day, no lights, no instrument panel lights. DOT should step in here: a 15-cent sensor could turn instrument panel off if it’s dark and no headlights.
That’s why substantially all modern cars are equipped with a fully-auto position on the headlight selector. Put it in “auto” and they’ll be on or off as the sensors decide is necessary. Set that once when you buy the car and you’re done fiddling with headlights.
Until your mechanic changes the setting to test the lights and doesn’t put it back on Auto, then next time you’re driving in the dark wondering why your lights are so dim. Happened to a friend of mine, the police pulled him over as he had no rear lights on. The ‘stupid product design’ in this case, in my view, is the mandate that says daytime running lights are front-only. Why on earth not front and rear, which would go a long way towards solving this problem (and making it significantly less dangerous when it does occur). Several times a year I see people driving at night with dim lights at the front (the daytime running lights) and no lights at the rear.
I don’t use the ‘auto on’ function because I mostly drive in snow in the mountains. Even if it’s light out. If it’s snowing, I turn my lights on. Same for rain.
I think that may be the law. If your windshield wipers or on, so should your lights be.
It’s the law in New York State, anyway.
Another poor design decision. With modern computer controlled cars this seems very easy to setup. If the wipers have been on for more than 30 seconds, turn on the lights.
It’s the law here in Kansas, and neighboring Missouri too IIRC. But sadly it’s not enforced, and in fact I have seen police cars driving in the pouring rain with no headlights on. Too bad I can’t pull them over. (Cue Gomer Pyle: “Citizen’s arrest! Citizen’s arrest!”)
Not really a bad design, but something I wonder about every time I use my clothes dryer. I can turn the dial to DRY or VERY DRY. I always wonder what the purpose of that is. How much difference can there be between dry and very dry? 
And is it more or less difference than between “virgin” and “extra virgin”?
Many years ago:
Me, 20+, in Rochester NY late dusk close to full dark, hitchhiking (which was sort of illegal at the time and place, but quite common and not usually enforced.)
Car approaching, in the dimness, no lights.
Me, shouting at the driver: “Lights! Lights!”
Me, shutting up abruptly as I realize that the car with no lights on is a police car.
Police in the car who’d forgotten to turn their lights on, and me, all of us at least borderline violating the law: giving each other the side-eye as they pass me, all of us going on our way. (I think they turned their lights on after they’d passed me, but no longer remember that for sure.)
Maybe that’s for people who iron things? That’s best done while the clothes are still slightly damp.
Lots of people seem to think the best way to handle permanent press garments is to dry them to still slightly damp then hang them up that way. How well that works depends a lot on whether you live in a desert or a swamp or someplace in between.
Of course the people who decide how to label the knob settings have a different set of goals vs. the people who designed what those settings actually do. Add in the desire for greenery = low cost of operation on the EPA label and you can see how the designers want a dryer that leaves your clothes wet, while the marketers Gasp! would never admit to such a thing.
Hence Dry (AKA somewhat damp) and Very Dry (AKA actually fully dry).
