  • I have a smart deadbolt that is keypad operated. It’s awful.

    Never used the smart features, and there isn’t a bypass to unlock the door when the batteries die — which happens a lot, especially in the winter. I tried using rechargeable batteries in it, but they last less than half the time of normal batteries.

    There is nothing more frustrating than punching in the key code and hearing the death of HAL9000 voice before the deadbolt fully unlocks. Luckily I have a back door that isn’t smart.

    I’m replacing the lockset soon and this won’t be a problem anymore, but holy shit is it frustrating and wasteful.

    Thankfully I must have avoided whatever business were doing this.

    However, I have had the experience of attending schools that had weird urinal designs.

    There was one where the urinals looked like regular toilets but without tanks or lids. They also didn’t have dividers and were placed in a position where anyone walking in the bathroom or using the sink got a full view.

    There were other schools that had the “trough.” Just a six foot long piss bucket.
