Developers Bumping Heads

by Dave Tufts - November 2, 2007 / 4:38pm View more articles

iMarc just remodeled our bathrooms. New toilets, new sinks, wainscoting, lights – we went all out. One feature we added was a coat hanger on the door to hang your coat, bag, or purse while you do your thing. In our purple bathroom the coat hanger seems to stick out about 10 inches.

After bumping my head on this shiny coat hanger for the third time, I decided to poll other office workers. The results were astounding!

In general, web programmers/developers bump their heads, while designers and marketing folks don't. In the results below, highlighted names are developers.

What could explain this? Why do developers bump their heads?

Let me spoil the surprise for you: Developers use that bathroom the most.

I've bumped my head twice in the 10 or so times I've used that bathroom.

Solution: leave the door open.

Maybe the vote should have included a third option
"I have used the bathroom coathanger for my coat, purse, or bag" It's useful, especially when getting changed for iMarc photo shoots.

Also, wasn't the purple bathroom supposed to be the Women's - why is it used most often here?

Karin, have you been in the boy's room? it's scary! we go to the girl's room for comfort!

also in hopes of seeing naughty bits.

sadly, it's a one-person bathroom.

bother.

Maybe the vote should have a 4th option:

Although I have been repeatedly struck on the forehead by the hanger, it's certainly worth it it if I have a place to hang my purse.

That's it, I'm buying a tampon dispenser machine. Try not to hit your elbows.

*Cheers for Karin*

Winner.


That's one way of ensuring that men will never use that bathroom. Put feminine hygene products in place, unless you're Robert apparently. Naughty Bits? In a one-person bathroom, that's hard to do.

Why there needs to be a hanger...20/20 Investigative Report:

"We found fecal bacteria on about 30 percent of the bottom of women's purses. So you may be moving bacteria from the bottom of the restroom floor to maybe the kitchen sink area when you're going to make lunch," said Gerba.

Yuk.

On no, not the tables! That's where Dan eats his Lunchables!

Stop pooping in your purses = problem solved.
