Child Friendly Sharps Disposal?
We fly in and out of a huge number of airports each year, and with each new experience, I become even more grateful that Seattle is our home base. A lot of thought went into making the airport family friendly, from a playground and nursing room near the food court to the family restrooms scattered throughout the entire airport.
This weekend, when we flew down to Orange County, I happened to find myself in a family restroom I hadn't visited before. This one had a convenient shelf - just at child height. Genius! Instead of monitoring D's every move to make sure she wasn't about to touch something filthy, I asked her to have a seat. Even better, the seat was broad enough that both kids could have fit in a pinch. I don't know why every handicapped or family restroom doesn't have a child seat like this.
Imagine my surprise when I looked again and realized that the installer had conveniently placed the seat where it would give D easy access to the hypodermic needle disposal box that also graces every airport restroom!

OMG, this picture belongs on Fail.com. It's so terrible it's almost funny.
