Today begins Regulatory & Quality Solutions' first picture series titled "Everyday #Usability". The intent of the series is to post images from everyday life that emphasize the importance of usability. There will be examples of both poor and great usability.

This week's post? Double doors with a metal bar between them.

I was inspired while at a Max & Erma's restaurant. While I always enjoy their food, I nearly ruined my dining experience by opening their doors to find a metal bar staring me square in the face. Thankfully, I was able to avoid injury. Clearly the architects did not consider the overtly oblivious or clumsy, such as myself, when designing those doors.

I was unable to get a picture of the exact door at the time, but the photo below should suffice if you simply imagine a bar between the doors when open.
