Why the heck do some installers put LCD display keypads at switch height?
You'd have to be 4' tall to read them...or worse yet; on your knees to
program the system.

Sheesh

Post your pet peeve

On this side of the pond all new build, pre wire jobs are at like that.
It has to do with wheelchair accessibility. I would often have to
program a panel on my hands and knees

It's dumb though,,,you can always move the keypad for the ocassional
accessibiliity issue (Im talking residential) - I have 3000 clients and only
2 with accessibility issues.

This leads me to pet-peeve #2; Home Depot parking lot...has room for maybe
500 cars right? 30 are handicapped parking! WHEN would there ever be 30
handicapped users in Home Depot at the same time? The rest of us poor folks
with bad knees (and not dishonest enough to apply for handicapped tags) have
to walk past 30 EMPTY handicapped parking spots in 126F heat to get to the
store.

Sorry...it's ANOTHER pissy day in paradise.

It's based on a formula in ADA. The law does not take into consideration
the type of merchandise being sold or who the customer base is. For its
part, Home Depot has a strong history of hiring handicapped workers. In the
larger stores I've been in there are almost always several employees using
wheelchairs, hearing aids or other AT devices. Regardless what some
contractors may feel about them, HD is a pretty decent company.

The one I can't figure out is why they put Braille keypads on drive-up ATM
machines. :^)
