Bad design #1<\/h3>\n

Someone installed a smoke-alarm on my kitchen ceiling. It means it has false alarms when I am frying, unless it is well vented. <\/p>\n

Bad design #2<\/h3>\n

Once smoke-alarm it is going, the only way to shut it up is to get a ladder and remove the battery or to get a fan to slowly clear the air. There is no reset button.<\/p>\n

Bad design #3<\/h3>\n

My kitchen stove has a range-hood, to blow the smoke away from the stove. But it doesn’t have a chimney or any vent to outside, so it just blows the smoke in the only direction it can… straight into my face. Some people don’t believe me until I demonstrate it to them. <\/p>\n

It is a terribly unpleasant way to cook, so I don’t use that. I just open a couple of windows. Normally that’s enough.<\/p>\n

Bad design #4<\/h3>\n

Today it wasn’t enough. The shrill alarm went off, annoying both me and the neighbourhood (because my windows are all open). I rushed off to get a fan to vent the smoke out the window… leaving my spatula on the fry pan.<\/p>\n

But my spatula is thermo-plastic<\/a>, and when I got back and lifted it from the frying pan I found a puddle of black plastic with thin wispy strands of nylon covering my food.<\/p>\n

And that’s how bad design ruined my lunch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
