Re: baddesigns.com

I understand many of the points, though I can't say I agree with most of them. The right turn traffic light... There's left turn lights like that as well. Mostly, though, I was terribly dismayed by that restaurant door one. Is he suggesting all doors should be glass? ANY non glass/windowed door is a chance to get whacked. Most of us just open them slowly by default and approach them with slight caution. Declaring all opaque doors bad design just seems silly.

Mostly, I'm annoyed because he's quite quite obviously only considering the design from the approach of making it absolutely brainless to use, etc. Many of the design decisions he's so obviously annoyed with were just as obviously made for cost or other reasons.

And the one complaining about car window buttons lifting up? Yeah, that's a highly important safety feature on modern cars to keep kids from choking to death, and I think they work rather well.
