1. Something I've noticed so many times - the automatic door-closers on public bathrooms that are so tight that it takes a strong effort from me to enter and exit. It must be hell for people in a wheelchair, or using a walker or crutches -- or just kind of old and weak, dammit!

2. This happened years ago. Upgraded bathrooms at the local county fairgrounds, nicely handicapped-accessible - with a honkin' big trashcan placed to block wheelchair access to the entry. (Walking in was no problem.) I went to the fair office to point it out; they sort of blanched and one woman immediately got up to rectify the situation. But... why did they have to be told?
