Ah, London. Black taxis, Big Ben, and red telephone boxes. These are the quaint little features of this wonderful city. They are so great in fact, that other people in other parts of the world want to have them too. Sadly, however, not everyone can get it right, so they do what they can with what they have. Case in point – this telephone box.
Cultural nuances aside, this looks kind of impractical. The idea of the box is to have a private and undisturbed conversation with someone. Talk about personal space.
Living on the Edge
This seems like a bright idea. Placing a tap directly above an electrical outlet is guaranteed to create drama. There are construction fails, and there is this.
Construction 101, do not place any electrical outlets near a water supply. This seems obvious to anyone. We sure hope no one got hurt in the process.
At Least You Can’t See the Faces
When you are in the midst of your most private moments, you hope that nobody will be able to look at you. You get a little room to yourself, or at least a little stall, where nobody can see you shamefully dispense waste. This bathroom, however, does things a little differently, and by that, we mean worse.
The doors seem to have been installed upside down, meaning there is far too much space under the doors for people to peep through as you take a tinkle. Only the most desperate or unlucky will decide to use the facilities here. Maybe they have a hostile takeover of the other bathroom if things get bad enough. Well, desperate times call for desperate measures.
In Case of Emergency
Hopefully, no sudden fires start in this area. It would destroy everything by the time rescuers would be able to open the fire hydrant.
We can't think of a worse place to install a fire hydrant or anything else one would need in case of an emergency.
Helmet Required
Having a place for the kiddies to play is an important part of urban planning. You can’t have a city that is just boring office blocks and apartment buildings everywhere – you have to have parks and playgrounds, too. This is why this city – Japanese, though nailing down the exact city is a little tough – wanted to put in a slide.
Though they…didn’t exactly put it in the best spot. We’re told that the fence on the left is around an elementary school, so the location makes a little bit of sense, but we bet there are plenty of parents who have an issue with where this slide got placed. But maybe this is some kind of special child training. They have to be quick on their feet to avoid getting wet.
