Why Are Bathrooms Designed Bad On Purpose?
You might think it’s because they use less material, so naturally, they should cost less to buy. But what if that’s not the real reason at all?
Think about it: why do you enjoy spending time in your home bathroom? Because It’s private. It’s likely the one place in your house where you can be completely alone. But that’s the problem. When people feel comfortable, they tend to stay longer. And when they stay longer, bathrooms get more crowded, and there’s a higher chance people will make a mess— A mess that businesses have to pay custodians to clean. By removing that sense of privacy, through the huge gaps in stalls, you’re forced to do your business more quickly.
So this should make you wonder, what other designs are purposely made bad? And why?
