Privacy lost? - Mirrors/reflective glasses at roof height in hotels, function halls, etc

Recently, I went to a banquet hall to attend a function. My attention caught mirrors at roof height. I could clearly see myself in that. 

Think about mischief that can be played by fellows, by taking photos of girls from the mirror reflection and do whatever they like to do.

It should be banned to protect privacy.

Wrong design of hotel room

Recently,  I stayed in a hotel room. I found that the exhaust of washroom is connected to a duct. However,  the window air conditioner also draws inlet from same duct, making it unhygienic. 

Hazards from wooden railings of the stair cases

In the past one month, I had two minor incidents of penetration of small wooden piece of about one millimeter in length and much lesser thick into my fingers. 

This happened as I am taking support of railing during the use of stairs. 

Photos of railing and wooden speck are attached below.

It is found that the wooden railings are not smooth finish as they appear. The protrusions of the railing are posing hazard to users. 

Stainless steel railings that are anti-corrosive are better than these wooden railing.

Injury from fall

Presently, I am in Portblair for site seeing. Came two days ago and staying in a hotel room with sea view. It's drizzling now and then whole day and corridor is wet.

On the day of arrival at night, I tried to go to corridor,  slipped, lost my by balance and suffered left hand ring finger fracture,  cut injury on right foot, impact on left side of my back. 

I was clueless, how I fell, though holding the door side with left hand. Impact might have been severe, but for me taking support of door frame of hotel room. 

Last few years, the floor tiles used are very smooth,  let it be in office rooms, residences, hotel, banks, railway stations, airports, etc.

A standard should be brought to ensure that floor tiles are made anti-skidding.

What can be done to avoid such incidents?

Ensure vehicle in good condition.

Make a checklist, verify before every trip.

Use speed lockers to limit speed.

Use GPS trackers and monitor at a central location with immediate audio alerts to driver and monitoring controller for action.

If possible,  provide automatic engine stoppers, if crossing set speed or acceleration. 

Finger injuries from wrong placement of door handles

I was in a hotel for a day. The door handle of washroom is very close to door frame.  I could have got finger injury,  while closing the door, if not alert. 

Same was the case with the handle of handwash water tap in a restaurant,  which was very close to the wall.

These are small things, but with potential for finger injury or fracture and to be taken care with sufficient gap.
