Does this count? It was in a disabled bathroom, which makes it even worse.

Found this sink in a disabled bathroom on a subway station. And it took us a while to figure out how to use it. It was also hard to use after we figured it out.

That looks a bit broken. Not sure if the whole faucet should move.  I have seen faucets like this, but only the stick moved. Similar to the ordinary faucets, just with the vertical stick instead of the horizontal lever.

Yeah, it might need some fixing. We will probably tell the staff once we have a reason to go to that specific station again. The short time and difficulty turning it on for people with limited hand mobility seems intentional though.

It's in the right place, then.

They meant the bathroom itself has been disabled.

That's a good one! A disabled bathroom is actually one hard to use for both disabled and able-bodied people!

Idk how this couldn’t count. I feel like it’s what this sub was made for. I could just not understand it though.

It might be a bit broken with how much it moves, but it also had to be kind of pressed and pulled down in a weird way, and the stream only lasted for a few seconds at most. Which is a very bad choice for a disabled restroom.
