The superstition about broken mirrors leading to seven years bad luck may be due to people believing their reflection was their actual soul. Mirrors are used for various purposes, including scrying, divination, banishing, binding, sending baneful magic back to the sender, and protection. Scrying mirrors are polished surfaces that can see a reflection in them, and mirror magic can enchant our appearances by entering a trance state. Mirrors carry a deep symbolic significance in magick, acting as vessels for concentration and amplification of intuitive energies.
In witchcraft, mirrors may be used as gateways in rituals or spells to communicate with otherworldly beings or access other planes of existence. By incorporating mirrors into magical practices, individuals can become the most magical of themselves. Mirrors show the soul, or spirit, which is their reflection. If a soul encounters a mirror before their body is burried, their soul will be trapped in the mirror.
To avoid creating a visual illusion of infinite reflections and disturbance of energy flow, it is important to avoid placing mirrors directly opposite each other. Bloody Mary is a legend of a ghost conjured to reveal the future, appearing in a mirror when her name is chanted repeatedly. Mirrors facing the bed promote intrusion of a third party into a couple’s relationship and possibly encourage bad luck.
In Feng Shui, it is advised to avoid having a mirror directly reflecting to the bathroom door, as this will amplify “waste” energy from the toilet. This can lead to discordant thoughts in daily life, making it difficult to be present in conversations, meditation, and daily life.

What do mirrors symbolize spiritually?
Mirrors symbolize spiritual and psychological depth, revealing a person’s soul and mind. They can reveal a person’s true physical appearance and can also reveal their true selves underneath the surface. Mirrors can reveal truth, as they can reveal a person’s true selves when used metaphorically. They have the power to deeply disclose who we truly are, highlighting the depth of soul and mind.
Why should we not see mirror after waking up?
Vastu advises against engaging in activities that may have a negative impact on one’s well-being, such as looking in the mirror immediately after waking up. This practice, according to Vastu, can lead to feelings of negativity and disrupt one’s morning routine. Additionally, Vastu recommends allowing a brief interval before integrating technology into one’s daily routine.
What happens when you look in the mirror at 3am?
The study aimed to investigate strange-face apparitions in patients with depression compared to healthy controls. The research involved a 7-minute mirror-gazing test (MGT) under low illumination, where 50 healthy young adults began to perceive strange-face apparitions after about one minute of mirror-gazing. These apparitions included large deformations of one’s own face, a monstrous face, an unknown person, an archetypal face, a face of a parent or relative, and an animal face.
The study found that depression patients exhibited significantly reduced apparitions of strange faces in the mirror compared to healthy controls. Depression patients showed shorter durations of apparitions, a minor number of strange faces, lower self-evaluation ratings of apparition strength, and lower self-evaluation ratings of provoked emotion. These decreases in depression may be due to deficits in facial expression and facial recognition of emotions, which are involved in the relationship between the patient’s ego and their face image reflected in the mirror.
Depressive subtypes are positioned to differ functionally by differential contributions by serotoninergic, noradrenergic, and dopaminergic neurotransmitter circuits. Depression is characterized by maladaptive bottom-up processes that are generally perpetuated by attenuated cognitive control. The main hypothesis of the study was that strange-face apparitions in response to mirror-gazing should be different in frequency and intensity in depressed patients compared to healthy controls.
Does mirror reflect bad energy?
The potential for mirrors to either enhance or detract from the quality of energy in a given space depends on the nature of the reflected content. This inherent complexity renders the decision of whether or not to hang a mirror a multifaceted task.
Why can’t you sleep next to a mirror?
She continued, “Feng Shui practices offer varying perspectives on the role of mirrors in the bedroom. Some suggest avoiding them altogether, while others recommend positioning them away from the bed.”
“This advice is rooted in the notion that mirrors have the power to reflect and intensify both positive and negative energy, potentially interfering with sleep quality,” Cedeno added.
All very fancy and technical but I also remembered that a mirror would also just highlight how messy my bedroom is. And my life. Yeah definitely don’t have mirrors facing your bed, maybe just get rid of anything reflective in the house altogether.
Does the Bible say anything about mirrors?
James 1:23-27 compares the act of a hearer of the word to a man observing his natural face in a mirror, forgetting his manner of manhood. A true religious person is not a mere listener but a doer of the law of liberty, focusing on the Fatherless and widows in their distress and keeping themselves unspotted from the world.
An individual who listens to the word without obeying it is likened to a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror, forgetting his appearance once he leaves. However, a faithful listener who abides by the perfect law of liberty, not forgetting but actively obeying, will be blessed and favored by God in his life of obedience.
Those who think they are religious but do not control their tongue but deceive their own heart will find their religion worthless. Pure and unblemished religion, as expressed in outward acts, is to visit and care for the Fatherless and widows in their distress, while keeping oneself uncontaminated by the secular world.
In summary, a true religious person is one who actively works towards the welfare of others, focuses on the Fatherless and widows, and remains uncontaminated by the secular world. By doing so, they can be blessed and favored by God in their life of obedience.
Why is the mirror not good in the bedroom?
Vastu tips for mirror placement include avoiding mirrors in bedrooms, ensuring they are not facing the bed, covering them at night, and placing a Bagua mirror at the entrance to protect against negative energies. Placing mirrors on the north or east wall in the living room enhances positive energy flow and creates a sense of spaciousness, but should not directly face the main entrance. In the office, positioning mirrors on the north or east wall attracts positive energy and opportunities, but should not be placed directly in front of the desk to avoid distractions.
What is the superstition about mirrors?
The origins of many superstitions are unknown, but some can be traced back to specific times in history, according to sociology professor Barry Markovsky. One such superstition is the belief that breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck. This belief has been present in ancient Greece and the Roman Empire, where reflected images were believed to have mysterious powers. Superstitions are common in every human culture, with some Asian societies believing that sweeping a floor after sunset brings bad luck, while others in the U. S. panic if they accidentally walk under a ladder or see a black cat cross their path. Additionally, many tall buildings do not label their 13th floors due to their association with bad luck.
Which mirror has negative power?
A concave mirror is a spherical mirror with a dented inward reflecting surface, which reflects and concentrates incoming light beams parallel to the focus point. The power of a concave lens is negative due to its virtual radius of curvature and negative curvature. The focal length of a concave mirror is also negative. The power of a lens is defined as reciprocal to focal length, and for concave lenses, the power is negative because the focal length is negative. A concave lens, also known as a diverging lens, diverges the rays incident on it, resulting in its negative power.
What does it mean if a mirror falls off the wall?
Breaking a mirror can bring seven years of bad luck, as it is believed that looking into a mirror is seeing one’s soul reflected back at them. This is due to an old Roman legend that a soul takes seven years to renew itself. Some people believe that mirrors can trap the souls of deceased individuals, so it is important to cover mirrors when passing in a house. If a mirror falls off the wall and doesn’t break, good luck is coming. Vampires and witches wouldn’t have a reflection when looking into a mirror, as they have no soul.
A baby should never see its own reflection before turning 1, and newlyweds should stand together in front of a mirror after marriage to unite their souls in the spirit world. If someone dies, it is advised not to look into their mirror, as it can cause the dead person’s soul to take your soul with them. In Chinese rites, brass mirrors are often hung over idols or opposite the front door to scare away evil spirits. In Russia and India, it is considered bad luck to look at your reflection in a broken mirror.
📹 Designers Who Should Go To Hell For Their Ideas – Part 5
Here are some awful designers who should go to hell for their terrible ideas! Part 1: …
DUDE THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING. The fake mirror concept I’ve never seen on Omegle before and this was perfect. YOU NEED TO DO MORE OF THIS STUFF. I watch Omegle Pranks all the time and this is up there with one of the best one’s I’ve seen and original too. Just the idea of having a Stranger chatting with you then seeing your reflection turn around with the Truth or Dare 2018 film smiley like face and shush them is hilarious LOL. You should do more with this Fake Mirror concept too :D.
Here’s an idea man. Have your reflection move from the chair and make a noise then you go and check it then your reflection comes back to sit down then you come back from checking the noise and you go back in the same position as your reflection. I bet you’ll have more reactions that way then just apply jumpscare when they ask you about your reflection moving and making the noise. I hope this gets there. Liking the pranks. It’s funny as heck! 😂
Bro your content is incredible, that reflection thingy is extremely creepy. I have no clue how you transfer between a normal mirror and a prerecorded mirror, it seems seamless. Your other 2 articles are great too. Instant sub. You should try to add some fast effects so that people will notice that something happened, but won’t have time to tell you about it, and then you act like you’re confused about what they’re saying. Also I have an idea of playing with time in the mirror, like adding visible delay to its image (or adding delay to what’s outside the mirror, so that it goes faster now). Or maybe you could slow down mirror time to like 0.5x, and periodically speed it up to 2x. I don’t really know how hard it is to do something like that, but it’d be really cool.

Many years ago I passed through a town in France. We stopped into a small restaurant for a bite to eat, and immediately in front of the entrance into the restaurant, was a cubicle with saloon style swing doors. This was the unisex toilet. This cubicle was actually inside the restaurant so, when I had to use it, I was acutely aware of the eyes that were on me (and my legs) at the time. Humiliation doesn’t even begin to describe how I felt at the time!
As someone who used to deliver pizzas and has seen some of the…messed up…MODERN buildings people live in, I think architects should have to try to move a couch (not a loveseat), a full-sized dresser, or a queen mattress onto the third or fourth floor of any building they design, ESPECIALLY if there’s no elevator!
14:30 in my country there is a game where the players need to position themselves like this and in turns, “the jumper” needs to come running from behind and jump over how many kids he could in one jump, also doing a “special move” while in the air. This looks like a solitaire version of the game for those kids that nobody likes and have no friends. But if I remember correctly, we used to jump over 3-4 kids, this line looks awfully short. Probably so that the kid that uses it doesn’t realize how many friends he is supposed to have.
6:20 When I got married my wife booked accommodation at a 5-star honeymoon suite it had beautiful expensive carpets, tiling, a high roof, and all the finishing… It also had this complete open-on-suite concept, with a toilet 4 steps from the actual bed, no curtains no door. For a couple who never lived together before marrying this was horrifying, luckily we were able to use a staff bathroom 3 flights of stairs down.
The medication at 17:05 is packaged like that for a good reason. It is a wafer that is designed to dissolve on your tongue instantly, so it needs to be heavily protected from moisture, including moisture in the air or it will be unusable. The blue container is designed to not only protect the smaller packets from being crushed or damaged, but it is designed to be difficult for children to gain access to as it is a dangerous medication that can be rapidly fatal in children. Also, there are 6 tablets in the box, which can clearly be seen by the fact it says “6” on the box. Nothing particularly stupid about this design. It’s about as good as it can get given the strict storage limitations.
16:38 About 2 or 3 years ago, I got a package for a box about 10 x 17 x 17 in cm of feminine necessities, but when I opened the package, it was encased in 20 feet of bubble wrap. My sister even managed to wrap my whole body in it. It was a very memorable experience and my sister and I went around my house showing off my new bubble wrap clothes to my family members
The product at 17:00 is a drug used to treat migraine attacks. People often only need one tablet and to facilitate the patient taking one tablet out with them, they are placed in individual wrappers. The medicine is designed to dissolve quickly in the mouth so they are very sensitive to moisture. I know it looks crazy but, there is a good and helpful reason they are packed this way.
88 cent prego tests look almost exactly like the covid test, just a strip with minimal plastic. After having three kids and using just about every type of preg test, I can say that the cheap ones are just as accurate as the $20 ones. The expensive ones are exactly the same strip inside, you’re just paying for the fancier case.
6:28 My Dad was a sanity-challenged scientist at Georgia Tech for thirty years and he had a theory about the urinals in the various buildings. In science classroom buildings the urinals were low, wide troughs for students learning abut th laws of gravity and gaussian distribution. In the administration building they had the cathedral style (porcelain from floor to chest height) to accommodate those with high aims and lofty principals. Engineering classroom building urinals were little teacups mounted on the wall because engineers just close their eyes and aim for the ballpark.
My guess is that the house at 19:32 was originally a two-unit building, with one of those sets of doors leading to a staircase up to the second floor, and that when it was converted into a single house they put in an internal staircase but didn’t take out the second set of doors for whatever reason. (Maybe there’s a historical preservation rule or something.)
I think the one at 13:25 isn’t necessarily how it was intended to be designed, but the supports were most likely faulty(Or never there), telling by the cracks around the rim where it hits the ground. It probably broke due to the bad supports and they just never fixed it. So yes it is a design problem just not intentional. They probably overestimnated how much weight it could take.
As I am sitting in a wheelchair, I see more design flaws than other people. Once I did have a course at the University, but couldn’t reach the classroom because there was only a trap, while there were only 4 steps and enough space for a perfect safe ramp. Another building at the KU Leuven university in Leuven (Belgium) has such small doors, that I barely can go through with my 60cm width electric wheelchair. And also on holiday once in Sicily, there was a pretty high step before a really tiny elevator in the hotel where we stayed 3 nights. My mother and I did go with that tiny elevator (luckily I can walk a bit) for no more than 2 persons, while my father took my manual wheelchair along the staircase. :p
“Imagine taking a shower while someone else was using the toilet” and just to add to the already unpleasant implications, there’s not one but TWO windows (one of which is situated perfectly in that glass enclosure for that creepy neighbor to peak in no matter what order of business you’re doing in there), ensuring maximum creepiness. Privacy might as well be a barely noticed piece of advice at this point because it hardly exists here.
17:28 From L to R: the large pharmacy dispensary box –> the plastic patient box used to keep all the doses together –> the aluminum pouch that you can stuff in a pocket or purse –> and the blister containing a tablet that can be accidentally dissolved by damp air or hands so it’s important to leave the damn blister in the aluminum pouch until ready to use. 😄Rizatriptan is only taken when the physical need necessitates it, so those pouches haunt purses and pockets way, way too long.
My last apartment had very few outlets, so my washing machine and upright freezer had to be installed in the back yard patio. They were under a small overhang, so if it was raining I had to debate if it was worth it to do a load of laundry or get an ice cream. I didn’t have any place for an electric dryer, so if it was raining I would have to set up a rack in the kitchen (which was super tiny.)
The “killer wheelchair ramp” is for pedestrians pushing bicycles. They put the bicycle up on it at the bottom and push it up hill while they use the stairs. The big drop off at the bottom is to discourage people from using it for skateboarding and wheelchairs. There’s probably some kind of barrier at the top, as well.
I work at the Minneapolis St. Paul airport and the sign at 21:25, that was a temporary consturction wall since they are remodeling all of the baggage claim area. but it seems like they need to rename the airport to CIA for short…. construction international airport…. you finish one construction project there and 4 more takes its place just like the slogan for Hydra in the MCU.
I worked for a small company that made/assembled caulk boards, tack boards, and display cases primarily for schools. We were on a job to install those items in a new elementary school. We ran into 2 problems. The caulk boards are to be installed level. In one wing we did that but when looking at them they looked crooked. It tuned out the floors had settled causing the cement walls not to be level. We had to reinstall the boards to match the horizontal cement mortar joints. In another room they had installed the room thermostat right in the middle of the wall where a caulk board had to be installed. The electrician had to move the thermostat to the right of the board.
The figures that you show in 14:17 is actually a game that is played in central Mexico called “CHICHILEGUAS” which comes from the frase “chinche al agua” meaning: bedbug to the water. It’s a game that is played mostly by two or more teams of boys. One team adopts the bending position with a boy at the end leaning in a wall which is the post and holds between his knees the head of the first bending boy. Then other teams run and jump as far as they can, landing in a riding position, trying to get close to the post, the more boys they jump the heavier they get and if the team is already all on top the try to shake and make them fall, if they fall, the post team wins. If they don’t, the jumping team wins. In the next turn the defeated team adopts the post position. I use to play with my brothers and cousins but my mother got angry because it wasn’t very “ladylike” but I really had fun, even when we got a bump in the head or some of us would hurt or cry… good times! 😉 sorry for my grammar mystakes but English is not my mother tongue.
The eyeliner likely contains such little amount for 2 reasons. One is the illusion of scarcity, to give the impression that it contains valuable and rare ingredients, processed in some exquisitely expensive way. The second is practical, which is that makeup goes off eventually. It dries out or oxidises or otherwise spoils. So a great big tub of it would usually end up wasted, and that would annoy the person who spent so much money to buy it. Instead, if you only give them a little bit, they perceive it to be all the more valuable, and aren’t annoyed by wasting something that cost them so much. Yes it’s likely in that size jar to be practical to handle. It’s glass, it’s transparent, that’s fairly honest of them. For the makeup industry that’s incredibly rare! It’s likely that if they only put half as much in, they could charge twice as much for the jar. People are bad at making decisions, or rather, commerce, and particularly the advertising industry, has worked out what our weak spots and fallacies are, and knows how to exploit them efficiently. There’s been psychologists employed by ad agencies since at least the 1950s.
5:23 i suspect that whoever installed those may have gotten the vertical supports upside-down. If they were the other way, the doors would’ve left a fairly-big gap up top and only a small one at the bottom, which wouldn’t give anyone much of a view of someone sitting down. 13:26 I think the design problem with that slide is they didn’t make it strong enough, and it has already collapsed
The design referenced near 10:44 is likely very deliberate. I’ve seen employers deliberately design the restrooms to be uncomfortable for employees to hide away in. For instance, the toilets may be very uncomfortable to sit on for more than a few brief seconds. Or, the sink is very frustrating to use, so that employees don’t want to use that bathroom at all because of how badly it’s designed. Some go so far as to be uncomfortable for CUSTOMERS to use because the owner doesn’t like the concept of a mess being made everywhere, or they want the customers to get in, do their business, and leave the establishment as quickly as they can.
I don’t qualify the packaging at 16:38 as a “design” problem, but it happens so frequently in many ways. Also, just in the past few weeks, I received a heavy iron auger “protected” by bubble wrap and those big plastic pillows, and a package of pill pockets with no protection at all, that looked like it had encountered a steam roller. I also love the meme about eggs being packaged in flimsy cartons, while you need a chainsaw to get the packaging off some relatively indestructible item.
I think that wheelchair ramp is the one outside of Evel Knievel’s house. I imagine he used a wheelchair for his senior years after breaking every bone his body many times, but he still liked to crash every time he left his house, just to remember the good old times. I mean when the only world record you held was the most bones broken, crashes just become a regular part of your day.
16:42 – I know the small things in larges boxes seems absurd (and it kind of is), sometimes it is for a very good reason. Shipping companies have found that small items in small packages tend to get lost more often, so they will sometimes (depending on if the item utilizes planes or trains for shipping) will package the item in bigger boxes, to help ensure the item doesn’t get lost. people make fun of small items in large boxes. People get angry and shop elsewhere if their item never shows up.
You had me cracking up. It’s not only sad to know these things are really out there, that’s actually pretty scary. The people making them are just about as scary as Steven King. He’s someone I wouldn’t want to share a house with. You never know what the man is thinking are what state of mind he may be in. No thank you !! You just got to wonder were these people’s mind goes. Thank you for at least making fun of them and getting us laughing to see this crazy stuff. Takes your mind off the scary part of these peoples brains. Your website is awesome. New sub.
Oh my god lol, these bathrooms are nightmares! I can’t stop laughing at the idea of a urinal design that positions you to look another visitor in the eyes while you both do your thing rofl. Can you imagine how life-shatteringly awkward that would be? Public bathrooms are the worst. In fact, needing to use a bathroom at all is the worst. You know why we all become cyborgs in the future? It’s because they’ll tell you that as a cyborg you’ll never need to go to the bathroom again.
23:43 I think this is done in a way to protect the strip and reinforce its installment. It is important to get a good reading and most people would likely think the product defective or ineffective were it just a tiny strip of bendable paper. This device was made with human psychology in mind … oh and here it goes on to say something contrary. 🙂 In any case it’s just like we pick up a piece of electronics and if it’s light, we think it’s bad. If it’s heavy, we think it’s good.
The toilet at 8:10 in the corner with two holes cut in the wall was probably a replacement. They do/did make a toilet that has a triangular shaped tank specifically for this type of installation. My guess is they had to replace one, and found out it was too expensive, or not made anymore. It probably looked nice before it was replaced with a normal toilet.
Heh. About those toilets… I am old, and when I started school there was still one actual outhouse for the students. A large one, with one long seat having several holes on it. No partitions, and of course no sinks for washing hands either because hey, it was an outhouse, so no running water installed. Fortunately, we also had bit more modern toilet facilities, and I don’t think anybody actually used that old outhouse. But it was still there the whole time I was in that school.
The Veterans Affairs hospital in Aurora, Colorado went $4 billion over budget to look pretty. On the surface everything looks beautiful. All of the curved and oddly angled walls needlessly reduce space in closets for medical supplies. In at least a dozen closets the space is so narrow that two people have to squeeze by each other or move. Imagine what it’s like having a supply cart in there for restocking……along with 6 nurses/doctors.
There’s gotta be some designers out there that have a pee flow that goes in the trajectory of a limp spaghetti noodle in front of a box fan on low, but some of us can (but don’t!) shoot it from like 6 feet away; if we get like 6 inches away, there’s a LOOOOOOOT of splashing and i’d decimate the floor and my pants and my shoes with that leg-cut one in this article, damn.
the packaging on meds is ” anti-tempering” the reason why there are so many layers is that people found ways around the first layers and they had to add more. And I got to say as a straight guy that wears eyeliner (cause I look like a dang raccoon with out it) its such a dang scam price to product ratio wise.
I do work with those immunochromatography tests in bulk and once we received a sample box for evaluating a new brand that lacked the plastic capsule. It’s awfull to work with, not just due to it’s wet noodle behaviour after the analyte is dropped, but the mess caused by not propperly containing the liquid (wich, in our case, sometimes means blood) and lack of adequate area to identify who’s sample from when you make those tests in bulk. Whoever desinged it eithe rworked with it or listened to someone who does so, unlike some other tools and equipments…
That “wheelchair ramp” is the suicide option. The haphazard row of lights is actually a test to check for OCD. People posting pics on social and making negative comments will be flagged by google – pretty soon men in white suits will come to pick you up, and family will never hear from you again.🤣 The one that got me best was that “assume the position” sink. 🤣
I actually want to share something about the bathroom cubicles. I was a young kid (kindergarten), and I needed to go to the bathroom. But when I locked the door, I couldn’t figure out how to unlock it, so I had to crawl through the gap, which was incredibly small. I was able to get out, other than being a little embarassed. Thankfully no one saw me and I had no class.
With the angled toilet cut into the walls @7:42, you neglected to point out that the design disallows the toilet tank lid from being lifted—with the button flush at the top, the lid needs to be lifted higher than other types of flush toilets, so that the connection from the underside of the flush button can be made properly. 🙂
I think I’d have to agree that a lot of these are pretty horrible designs, but the bathroom with the glass floor looking down, and the sink with the built-in ass were actually awesome and I’d love that experience. I’d really love to use that bathroom with the glass floor especially. That would be pretty awesome for someone who could appreciate it.
that stairwell with the carpet that makes it hard to see the steps was used in a college building in the city i live in. i came across it while working onsite IT jobs. whenever i had to go to different floors in the building i’d purposely take the elevator no matter what because it was definitely a workplace hazard. how the college justified using it or gets around OSHA laws for using it is beyond me. OSHA enforcement needs to be fired for not making the college replace it.
6:49 yeah, that’s a big violation of the unspoken guy code….you only ever use a urinal next to another guy if absolutely everything else is already taken and your bladder is about to burst. EDIT: Urinal design in general seems to be done by people who hate guys….the place I work it’s this weird pinched oval shape where the edge of the bowl is three feet from the wall so you’re just standing out in the void with everything out on show…then there’s the ones where the bottom is so low you’re pretty much pissing on your feet. Who designs these things?
11:53 – Guessing the “wall-mounted” washing machine was at least as much a limited space issue as hookup convenience. I’ve rented some absolute closets passing for apartments, & believe me, I can see the upside. Slightly more attention to the execution & it’s a runner. At least trim & paint the expanding foam “odor guard” afterword.
For what it’s worth: The first time I saw “Fabuloso” cleaner was in the context of Walmart having the bottled juice aisle one aisle over from the cleaning supplies aisle… and yes, “Fabuloso” looks like grape drink at first glance. Good thing I wasn’t in the marked for grape drink. They had a big dispay of “Fabuloso” on one of those displays that takes up the big aisle between the regular section and the grocery section of the “Supercenter”, right across from the combined drink and cleaning supplies aisles… yep.
The reason the kitchen sink was installed at an angle can’t be because they got a dishwasher that was wider than expected. The measurement from the front left corner to the rear right corner is greater than the width of the cabinet. It’s more likely they did this because they thought loading the dishwasher would be easier.
Even without the bench in the way Tactile Paving is a massive design flaw in and of itself. Whether metal or rubber, it is incredibly slippery when wet, just what you need when right next to a road, a warning system designed to make you slip and fall. These things are dangerous enough for those without vision impairment. Still amazes me that there hasn’t been a bunch of high profile personal injury lawsuits against councils for installing these deathtraps.
19:40 I often see monstrosities like that. What happened is that the house was initially built as a single unit. Then over the years, it was split in two, with a drywall between those two sets of doors, the one on the right having a narrow staircase leading to the upper floor. Then some rich guy bought the two units and decided to merge them back together, and replaced the narrow staircase with a flamboyant one, according to his taste. And he probably couldn’t wall off the second set of doors because of construction permit restrictions. So when a new owner purchase it, they’re left wondering how to fix this, as well as all the other similar oddities left behind by the tinkerer.
I’ve had maxalt, it really does come packaged like that. It needs to be dry, but it’s taking it a bit far. I also take Zofran sublinguals, which come in blister packs. I’ve had them go through the laundry in my pockets, and still be dry. I like the bathroom over the elevator shaft, though I think mainly because I’ve seen it before and had time to get used to it.
The base at the bottom of my stairs (and I am talking about a floor that you need to go 2 steps up and turn left before you reach the rest of the stairs) has door hinges conviently placed right before you actually reach the base (there is no door though), which implies that the people who lived in my house before had to deal with opening a door before they can go upstairs
13:25 I think that slide snapped in half. It wasn’t built like that. 18:55 Funny story. Many years ago after a very busy day of spring cleaning, my wife was so tired that she picked up a bottle of dish soap that was on the counter right beside her bottle of pop and took a sip. I couldn’t help but laugh as she spit and blew bubbles at the same time. Thankfully, it wasn’t bleach or some other toxic chemical.
13:07 – why are so many people falling for that like its somehow a legitimate operating slide as intended? ITS MEGA CLEARLY a broken normal slide. Look at the top joints completely bent. the supports are missing. look at the rust and degradation. Its just out of order and broken down. (Like most park infrastructure in our nation anymore)
10:24 My music school has one of those basins. I washed my hands in it once, and it was a pretty bad experience. I’m 17, so this was an awkwardly small basin for me. Not only that, when I pressed the button to turn on the water, it turned off like 2 seconds later, right as my hands touched the water. So I literally had to speedrun washing my hands and risk wetting the floor with soapy water.
14:17 it’s actually a game we used to play a lot as kids (I’m originally from Romania), the game was called “Thick Milk” (don’t ask why). One kid was the pillow (the guy with green top) and then few other kids were bridges, then you were supposed to run on jump on the “bridge” shouting “thick milk” while running 😂😂
Designers Who Should Go To Hell series is also my favorite to watch on Be Amazed. And I agree with the comment about not blaming designers for such things 😊 I’ve also seen some sinks similar to 10:22 being sold in my country’s home depot warehouse (not like American Home Depot) and at first, it made my head scratch
About all the wasting space in package cases: In germany you can call customer-protection (Verbraucherschutz) and report it. Then the producers of the product will get forced to change it or get a expensive ticket. So at least in germany: it does not pay out to betray or fool customers in this way. It also counts for hiding unfilled parts of the package to imagine a bigger product inside than it is, like the kobe-beef-example. Whenever you feel betrayed: in germany call customer-protection and the chance is high that they agree with you and start acting 🙂 Thumbs up
That eyeliner is not a bad design. It’s gel eyeliner. It’s not cheap, a little bit goes a long way, and as mentioned in another comment I saw, it dries pretty quick so a lot in the container would just means most of it is dried out and unusable before you get to it. Familiar with it because it’s my preferred type of liner when I actually use eye liner. More often than not, I fake eyeliner with the way I do my eye shadow.
13:37 If you look closely at the slide, you will notice that the frame has buckled where the slide forms the 90-degree angle. Meaning that this slide either: A.) going by the apparent rust stains on the slide’s surface (tetanus warning) it is fairly old and not in best condition. B.) someone just a teeny bit over the specified max weight (i.e. a LOT over the max weight) tried to slide and the frame couldn’t handle either the weight or the force of the keister landing on it because, seriously, how many have stood on the top of the slide and instead of leisurely sliding down, decided to jump onto the slide for some extra momentum? C.) All of the Above.
The concrete slide next to the stairs is meant for heavy luggage- its not very common- at all, but if you are hauling up/down boxes/suitcases, you can slide them on that if they are heavier rather than risking the stairs (no you dont let go no you dont slide with it, you walk by hold it as you pull or hold your heavy items on the way down) thats my best guess at least cause I had only seen like a few before and thats all I know can correct if I am wrong
16:24 this guys lucky least he has a lock that does not work in my house we only have locks in the backyard and front yard only no where else also in the garage and our gate in my old house there where locks but my parents are mean enough to to make me move houses I never wanted to move now i threaten my parent if they don’t take my back to my old house I will make them regret it when they become old people like at age 80
As far as urinal design goes, probably one of the worst (in my view…no pun intended) was the one I had to use at the Navy base where I was stationed in the early 80s. It was a sort of trough raised off the floor with absolutely no chance of privacy. And it wasn’t the only place where I encountered this (non) design.
At approximately 14:30 into this article, the “weird” statue of a standing child with two more children in front on hands and knees, is from a game kids in at least America played from the 1970’s and before. Before article games, cable tv, and all of today’s creativity and exercise killing stuff became invasive. It’s from a game called “Johnny Ride a Pony”. It’s kinda like leap frog except instead of vaulting over, you vault onto the backs of other kids. Instead of vaulting onto/over one kid, there was a train of kids bent over with their arms and hands around the waist of the kid in front of you and heads tucked down and to the side.. Strength, agility, jumping, sprinting Not opposable thumb dexterity and swiftness.
Okay well, in Amazon’s defense the system tells us what size box to use. And yes we know some boxes are outrageously big. The company prefers that we use the recommended box size instead of overriding the system all the time. However we are allowed to override the system but after a while they’ll have a problem with it so usually to keep higher ups quiet we just use the recommendation the system gives us.
The gym of which I was a member has relocated one of it branches further away from the office where I work. At one instance, I had to go to the toilet. Normally, I don’t sit on a latrin outside my house or office. I lean over the latrin and hit “Bull’s eye” and never miss. To my horror, I have found that the seats in the new branch were so high, that I have to tiptoe just reach high enough to do my thing. I could not safely stand on the seat and bend myself. Being very frustrated, I was holding my thing and walked for fifteen minutes back to the office, used the toilet and came back.
I’m glad that the Creator of this article acknowledged why the Covid 19 tests need to be designed the way they are. I keep telling people that a really good reason to go from gas guzzling to electric is that we are going to NEED that oil, sometime in the future, for things that oil is best for – medical grade plastics. You can’t make a heart-valve out of plastic made of corn. The body would eventually absorb it. You need plastics made from super-cooked matter…. Oil… for some things, especially valves and stints and such. We should be doing everything we can to preserve oil as a non-renewable resource! Yes, there are some things that NEED oil based plastics, but your mph is not one of them. If you have a special vehicle or something, that’s fine, but people need to consider the future of our children and their children, etc., when making decisions. For instance, if you are against abortion it is IMPERATIVE that you be for the needs of future generations, and voluntarily trying to cut the amount of Petroleum-based products you use would be a step in that direction.
Public toilets can certainly be frustrating, how difficult can it really be? I see this all the time they have the ‘auto’ taps now that turn on when you put your hands under, but the water pressure is set to turbo max so it bounces off your hands and you get wet and there is no way to adjust it. Then you have mens toilets where the urinal is in plain view from outside when the door is open, just what you need in a restaurant you look over and see men zipping up and shaking/adjusting their equipment.
I want to know why every workplace in the UK uses 2 separate taps for hot and cold, where one has lava coming out and the other has ice coming out. I mean it would actually be more cost effective to put a single mixer tap in, as it’s only one tap, and people can actually use WARM water to wash their hands. Everywhere you go they do it. Ever place I ever work or public toilet
15:36 If you look carefully, the picture was taken of the model at an angle, not completely straight on. That’s why the mirrored completed appearance is so off. Of many attempts to get a mirrored shot of one half of a face, the picture is rarely correctly done exactly down the center and exactly from the front. Always a bit of an angle and misplacement of the cut.
13:35 please look at the red siding of the slide, it is broken. Pressing it down to be unusable is common while waiting on a replacement because while a faulty slide can seem fine this is obviously not. They often come with sticker notice about replacement but people tear them off to get pictures like this to post online.
I think the Australian gym ad is what, in Australia, they call “a joke”. It’s difficult to explain to Americans, they don’t really have the concept. Although they do use the word, but for a different thing. For example, if in America, you might want to see a “comedian”, first you decide which of the two political parties you support. Then you get out the Yellow Pages and look up a “comedian” of a suitable alignment. You sit down, and he tells you things you agree with, and you applaud him for the correctness of his opinions. In other countries, usually a “comedian” is someone who says things that are incongruous, ironic, or surreal, causing an involuntary reaction involving short, repeating vocalisations. I don’t know what word I could use to describe that to Americans either. It’s a pretty alien concept, really.
Consumers need to express their outrage — politely but firmly — to the management of the Stores selling such Deceptively packaged items. This has actually been a problem for as long as humans have been trading with each other, where one group has plants that can be made into baskets, and another group has fertile fields that can grow grains… Somebody always got a thumb on the scale, or adds cheap fillers to foods… Yuck. There’s a real good reason why our government created the Consumer Protection Agency, and the private sector created “Consumer Reports Magazine!”
I can deffo believe the tiny sink in the article at 10 minutes. When I moved into my current house, the shower water would clog up when the water was soapy or shampooey, and all the water went to the bedroom and destroyed under all my wooden furniture. So the housing sent a so-called engineer, he said he pulled out years of hair, from the drain. Insaid can’t be mine because I just moved in a couple of months ago, he never actually fixed the real issue. The next thing they decided that the shower curtain was a bit short. So they changed that. I advised I never use the shower curtain anyway, the carers come three times a week for shower call. Their reply…..try it, so again they were wrong, then another So called engineer said need a new shower door, I said I can’t see anything wrong with the door because water is choking up, didn’t listen to me and changed the damm door, issue still continued, another genius came in and said the floor is uneven and they need to break it up and make it slant towards the shower drain, which never fixed the drain choking issue, they changed the sink and the toilet, these days they’re putting in compact things and cheap quality things. They removed my heavy duty old classic sink. Another mistake they made was 2 taps instead of one. I finally flipped. I said bring my old sink back and take away this toddler sink. I’m disabled and my hands, I mean one hand even doesn’t fit in it. So they put in a slightly larger cheap quality sink and the drain in the sink.
What about a pedal powered wheelchair? And yes, there is a reason for this some people in wheelchairs can still move their legs, not enough to walk, but usually enough to use a pedal powered wheelchair. And some people who are in a wheelchair can work perfectly fine. They don’t always need it they just sometimes do. 3:34
There was a club in NYC that I went to where the bathroom, not bathrooms, were similar to the bathroom at 8:26. The worst part was that there was only 1 bathroom so both men and women can watch each other using it. I went to go in the bathroom and when I opened the door I thought I was in the wrong bathroom. I walked out looking for more bathrooms but there was just that one. It had silver wallpaper and was lit by red lights. I had to go bad and went to the urinal to piss. Then a girl just went and used the toilet right next to me. They alternated urinals and toilets. The girl literally watched me piss the whole time and even commented how much I was pissing. So freakin weird. Some girls had friends trying to block the view of them going because people were waiting to use the bathroom and were just perusal everyone. There were some pretty creepy guys in there too so I don’t blame them. Others tried to block the door from letting guys in so their friend can go. I had no shame and I was so uncomfortable and can’t imagine how the girls felt. This was back in the early 2000’s but I can’t remember the name. If anyone else remembers this club/bar then please let me know the name
