Out of the Blue

Well I managed a double-dose of dumb yesterday. With things slowing down for the holidays I ran some errands yesterday afternoon because for some reason I thought the Steam winter sale would begin today, and did not want to delay mentioning that, which is exactly what my miscalculation caused. My trip included a not-short drive to a friend's house where I ended up accidentally taking his mobile phone with me, since it looks just like mine, so now I have to repeat my not-short drive today to get it back in his hands, so it really would have worked out far better if I'd planned this for today in the first place. I'd probably be pretty Dr. McCoy (yes, that's now an adjective) about transporters if they existed, but I sure wish I had access to one right now.

Or they could bathrooms in next to the elevator so people use them instead of the elevator. But that would make sense. No, put in a $10,000 dollar urine monitor instead. Fucking bureaucrats. Rolleyes

It would probably cost more than $10,000 to install a bathroom. You can't just pop one anywhere you want in an existing structure because they need to have access to the water and sewer lines.

As the article mentioned though, I wonder if they could save some money just by putting up signs to deter people. They should do a study before spending $10k per elevator. Place just a sign in another popular peed in elevator, and if it reduces the problem just as well, problem solved. Hell make it more convincing by putting a fake looking sensor in there too.
