What started as an awkward question reminded us that even simple objects often have thoughtful reasons behind them. Sometimes they hide practical ideas that are part of our everyday use and that we haven't noticed before.
I was in town with a friend. We spent hours drinking coffee and talking about all sorts of things. One time I spilled coffee on my clothes, so I went to the bathroom to clean them. While I was there, I noticed a toilet seat with a hole like this. It was the first time I had ever seen one like this in my life, and I didn't know why they designed it that way.
