r/fruxtration

This is the bathroom in the Dublin Airport with a row of water sinks and only two hand-dryers on the opposite sides of the bathroom, one of which is shown in the photo.

The hand-dryer is so close to the last sink and to the mirror that it can only be reached when standing right in front of that sink. As a result, if anyone is washing their hands there, nobody else can use the dryer in the meantime. This means that just one person using that sink in the corner will create congestion for no reason, with people waiting in the queue or walking away with their wet hands.

And in a reverse situation, the sink can't be used if someone is drying their hands, leading to inefficient use of facilities.

In the mirror reflection you can see that there is plenty of space on the wall to move the hand-dryer to the right, so that it doesn't interfere with anyone washing their hands. The current placement leads to bad user experience.
