Expectations

Sometimes, I expect too much. I expect the level of service and foresight that, probably, only the wealthy, who can afford to indulge their foibles, get.

Take, for example, the shower doors that were just installed. They're pretty nice. But - there's something a little wierd about them. When they're closed in one direction, the handles line up and make a nice display. Closed in the other, they don't, and don't. Turns out that there are four rubber bumpers, two on either side of the track. They have one slit in each. When the doors are closed as you would when in the shower, the doors slide into those slits, and the handles line up. With the doors closed as you would when outside the shower, they don't, and don't. This vaguely bothers me -- why aren't there two slits?

We could, of course, just leave the doors in the first position. But then the grab-handle on the outside would be on the right, away from where you want it to be when you're about to get into the shower. Didn't the people who built this think about that?
