Who thought this was a good idea at a hand wash area?

Bad design

Well, every public restroom should have a sink for hand washing. So far so good. Having a good supply of paper towels is a great idea. That's even better. But, who in their right mind would have a power point for a plug right underneath the dispenser? Wet hands, dripping water, tissues being pulled out and a power point right next to it - who thought it was a good idea. Well, it's a shocking lapse, but I left with dry hands and un-electrified. Till next time ...

The Gods of bad design have been active there apparently.

Oh my goodness, who placed that dispenser so close to electric sockets? This is extremely dangerous.

@pitstop - I hope too. If not they must be covered to prevent electrocution.

If there were small children playing there, wouldn't there be a problem?

Usually no kids, but it's so hidden even adults could touch it with wet hands.

That's a really bad time. I always think architects and designers should have to live in the houses they design for a while.
