Wait a minute!!!
So I am running down from the 10th floor to the 8th floor of an office building in Portland. It would be faster than waiting for the elevator. Or, so I thought. What really happened was that half way thru the stairwell, I noticed this restroom!! And I stopped. And I stared for a long time. At the restroom. In the stairwell!! Men’s restroom!! How many times have you seen a men’s restroom in the stairwell?
It had a handicapped sign!!! A HANDICAPPED SIGN!! Who, in their right minds, and in a wheelchair, is climbing up and down the stairs to a handicapped accessible restroom???? And that too, only for men???
This is too confusing for me!!
Did you open the door?
no, I did not. but i should have…
What if you are in one of those fake fire drills and want to go real bad? Now that’s one heck of a smart design !!!
If you are still in that hotel, it’s time to take a visit down there and check it out – or else you may not get sleep tonight
i think you should go ahead and do it right there. maybe it will help douse the fire 🙂
it was in an office building, Raghu and i will be back there tomorrow
Oh…did not see that part….and if you are in Portland, come swing by Seattle if you can!
Perhaps it’s for men running down the stairs, who could trip and fall and become temporarily handicapped on the way 😉
The restroom sign is probably much more effective than a ‘Do Not Enter’ sign 🙂
More than likely they realized very late during construction that the building violated some code that specified the minimum number of handicapped restrooms.
I agree with sumana rao
Narayan hit the nail on the head!
Yeah! And who puts the handle on the left side of the door anyway! This is madness.
Lmao!?!?
it is completely logical, down 2+ flights of stairs in a wheelchair, you too would have the pee scared out of you!
Only you would come upon something like that. Too funny!
They’re just keeping Portland weird!
It is only there for Rajib Roy to discover it and write about it in his blog and we giving comments and counter comments on it!
This is truly a funny find. Thanks for sharing.
