Bengaluru Flyer Rips Airport Bathroom Tap In Viral Post
A Bengaluru resident’s sharp review of a tap design at Kempegowda International Airport has sparked online debate, with many sharing his frustration over the allegedly flawed and overly complicated bathroom fixture.
The flyer shared an image of the tap system that appears to be installed in the airport and wrote on X, “Whoever approved this tap design at Bangalore airport deserves a special place in hell.”
The image featured a sleek metal fixture with three identical cylindrical arms, presumably for soap, water, and air drying, accompanied by small instructional labels placed just above them on the wall.
The post rapidly gained traction online, resonating with others who’ve encountered the same confusing bathroom setup.
“Indeed. Minimalism at the cost of intuitive design”, one user commented, highlighting that the design is minimal but confusing. Another added that the only part of the setup that stands out is the “Dyson branding,” with nothing else giving users a clear indication of what each nozzle does.
Dyson also responded to the man in the comment section, following up to ensure the issue was addressed by their expert. “Hello Harish, thanks for connecting with us. Hope your query has been addressed by our expert via direct message. Team Dyson India,” the comment read.
“This tap sucks. My hands touch the basin every time (which is disgusting),” another person said.
The tap’s modern design is being criticised for its confusing layout, lack of clear instructions, and unsuitability for a busy public area, despite its sleek appearance.
Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport’s Terminal 2 has garnered global acclaim for its architecture and eco-friendly design, but the viral tap issue has ignited a new discussion on the importance of functionality over mere aesthetics.
