Reading the article, it sounds like the mistake was because of the address, I couldn't find enough information in the article to know if the mistaken house was in poor condition. Were you expecting the actual demolition crew to question the work order?

Yes, but the glass is immediately noticable from anywhere in the bathroom. I don't have to walk up to each door to see the latch position.

I would love this!

I hate going into a bathroom and needing to softly push/pull on each door lightly enough to avoid letting someone who may be sitting on the other side know I'm checking whether the stall is occupied.

Edit: I know many stalls have the green/red slider, but those are often hard to read, and I can immediately see which stalls are empty with the glass ones, without needing to walk up close enough to read the dial.

Even before having children, I've always had the unfortunate (for others) ability to tune out noise. I definitely don't assume my kids screaming is not a big deal, I literally don't realize it's even happening.

Fortunately, my wife doesn't have this issue, so she'll usually get me to intervene quickly enough that we (hopefully) aren't causing trouble for others.

Just think of this as more of a YSK, instead of breaking news. 😉

Dog whistle literally just means coded language that an ordinary observer might not notice, but can be used to subtly identify other like-minded individuals.

Not all dog whistles are necessarily bad (depending on perspective). I'm an ex-mormon, and one dog whistle is a tapir. Without more information, it is too subtle to really know for certain whether I just like tapirs, or that I'm actually ex-mormon. But eventually, two ex-mormons might see enough signals to finally confide in one another.

A lot of the language you used is innocuous enough, and I didn't feel like it was at the level @hoodatninja claimed, but it definitely had a "Reddit was becoming too woke" vibe to it, without actually coming out and outright saying it, aka, a dog whistle.

I'm so 2008, you're so 2000 and late.
