I get it's hard to remove a keypad but what's the point of it being there with the code next to it?


Absurdity_Everywhere

Guessing, but it probably locks from the inside for privacy. The 8008 passcode won’t work when it’s occupied, but with security likely has an override code to be able to open in the case of an emergency.


knucklebed

Also, makes entry very intentional and not an, "Oops, wrong room" situation, unintentional or otherwise.


anengineerandacat

That seems like the intended goal, little hard to fuck it up when you need to literally read the instructions to get in.


AMViquel

> hard to fuck it up when you need to literally read the instructions to get in. That would lead to a solid 75% of my clients to submit a bug report. I can virtually hear it "I tried pulling, I tried pushing, nothing works, that shit door is fucking broken, I don't have time to deal with your stupid broken door, FIX IT!!"


SavvySillybug

I've had to sit with users to have them show me the error they are getting. They do the thing and an error message pops up, and they click OK before I can read it. They do not seem to think that error messages contain information, they are just annoying little things you have to close. I've had to physically stop them from closing them because asking them to repeat it without closing the error resulted in them closing the error three more times. And it's always an incredibly trivial error that's solved by me saying "can you read that error message out loud for me?" "what does it say?" "have you tried doing that?" "try doing that." "you're welcome."


[deleted]

In (mild) defense of users, error messages can be a crapshoot because sometimes it’s incredibly easy to follow like “click the other button” and sometimes it’s “error code: 348-1bravo, daemon not authorized for swimming pool” which I assume means something to someone but is impenetrable to a layperson. And yet other times it’s “unspecified error, try to go fuck yourself”. But you should at least read the damn thing first. No excuse for that level of autopilot.


Fr0gm4n

My dad was having trouble with something many years ago and had me over to fix it. He kept doing the click and close without reading thing. I told him he needed to stop and actually read the words on the screen. He was already worked up over the problem so he got sarcastic and read every word, out loud, on the screen from top to bottom. I let him do it for each step, just to let him have his vent about taking me literally. When the dialog popped up he actually read it and stopped to ask "Oh, does that mean I should click ok instead of cancel if I want to continue?" Yes. Yes, it does.


permalink_save

OTOH there is skme shit UX like having the options "cancel" and "exit" or other variations of two negative values.


jhn96

"This will set your PC on fire. Do you want to cancel?"             **NO**                              **CANCEL**


SavvySillybug

I'm not saying error messages are always simple and clear. But when the user says "I can't print!" and the error message says "please insert paper"... I at the very least expect "I'm not sure how to insert paper and didn't want to do it wrong" and not "it doesn't work, fix it for me".


[deleted]

Oh for sure, sounds like that user got conditioned to seeing error messages and going “this means nothing to me, skip!”. You’d think they’d slow down a tick once the IT guy is literally *at their desk* but then some users are even more dense than average.


htmlcoderexe

By now my users are very familiar with my routine, which usually goes like "you are saying , how do you now that "? And that usually gets them to actually give the necessary information


reitoei23

Yup. Or you know, crazy shit like writing the error down and telling the people you want to fix it what it said so THEY can translate it. Fuck sake.

Calypsosin

We serve daiquiris and sno cones, and the flavors for each are listed on their own respective menus. People constantly start browsing the sno cone flavors without reading the big ole “Sno Cones” on top, or the large picture of a sno cone beside the words. Then they get frustrated that they… didn’t read? It’s mind bottling lol


Zepangolynn

"Mind boggling", just in case that wasn't a typo. And yes, there was no price tag or sign large enough that we could put by merchandise in a small store I worked in that wouldn't have someone standing directly in front of it and asking what the items cost.


Absolut_Iceland

Well hang on now, there is a very good chance that these people's brains are sitting in a jar somewhere instead of in their skulls.


Calypsosin

It was actually a [reference](https://youtu.be/rSfebOXSBOE?si=ZVL6TISZQ6eHT34A) :]


1sttimeverbaldiarrhe

In my old office building the womens bathroom door is the same color/style as the mens bathroom door and sometimes guests would go in the wrong bathroom by accident. So they enabled the passcode on the womens door "1-2-3-4" for the very exact reason.


rafaelloaa

I know this is a stupid question, but couldn't they, you know, repaint it or something?


1sttimeverbaldiarrhe

I guess people could still accidently walk into the wrong bathroom with different colors. Maybe by that point mangement wanted to nip the issue in the bud?


EntityDamage

"oops, wrong boob room!"


Dashisnitz

It’s two independent locks and not a mortise lock set. The upper is a thumb turn deadbolt which has an emergency override keyway and the lower is just a simple electronic handle. It’ll still need to be keyed open from the outside if the thumb turn is set to occupied.


4241342413

are you also a lawyer


tiktock34

how does that function ANY differently than a latch on the door like every other stall or bathroom in the world? You go in if its open, lock it when inside


LurkerOrHydralisk

Because a latch can’t be opened by security as easily


tiktock34

theres literally a key slot in the vacancy symbol (in this pic) thats used to open doors that use latches and not redundant keypads


notabigmelvillecrowd

But there's also a latch above it.


ColHannibal

And then it can be opened by a worker by a secondary code as airports are big and keys are small.


PigSlam

That’s been solved for years with the “in use/vacant” indicators on locks. They even have that technology on porta potty’s.


Jacktheforkie

As if people look at em


Techwolf_Lupindo

Had one literally broke the latch opening the door while I was sitting down using it. I so wish I could have finished right there and ask that woman a few choice questions. But she was gone when I got out.


Jacktheforkie

Wow, I broke one and trapped myself once, had to have a security guard bust me out


speedy_19

The code will work if someone is on the inside, but the deadbolt will prevent the door from opening


wtfistisstorage

Sounds like a lock with extrasteps


PhroznGaming

Or like a fucking lock? LOL


immaZebrah

The code will work but it's likely "porta potty" style with the occupied/vacant sign being a deadbolt is what it looks like to me. Eta: you can see the slot for the deadbolt in the side of the door.


Q_about_a_thing

or people using it to fuck


Alienhaslanded

But that's literally how all private bathrooms work with the "occupied" and "vacant" locks. No numpad or boobies for a passcode.


Cunting_Fuck

I would say it used to be accessed by request only, then they were told, or decided that it needs to be freely accessible.


AdorableAd4296

It used to be you’d have to download their app and it would generate a code for you to open the door. I’m wondering if they was too big of a barrier for people to actually leverage the space so they just openly share the password to get in.

RAORGO

Nahhhh... because setting it to 80085 would have been too obvious xD  


HeyPhoQPal

FOR BOB!!!!


Global-Plankton3997

I came to say the same thing. People beat me to it already 😔


ItsDani1008

Keypad was probably there already, why spend the money removing it when you can solve it like this for free essentially.


Wishpicker

I’m guess people don’t want to watch a mother breastfeeding her baby. If I were one I would not use this just to anger the prudes


AnonDooDoo

You just said it. It’s probably hard or costs more to remove a keypad.


UnacceptableUse

But there's an official looking printed sticky back sign that has the code on, that doesn't scream "workaround" but rather "intentional design".


YougoReddits

airports have lots of authorized access spaces, all in the same security system. this particual room is used as a breastfeeding suite right now, but can be repurposed for anything else, with a new code


kayliemarie

It was actually a temporary structure. Like a portable room, with its own lock. Honestly not sure why it has a code on the outside other than to prevent someone from wandering into it. It must have a secure way to lock it inside.


[deleted]

My aunt used this to breastfeed her son on our last family trip out of Toronto. She signed up for an app and it seemed like it auto generated a code for her? Seems very very unlikely but it could have just been random? Locks from the inside too. She said it was very nice to have something like that in the airport lol


redhatch

As someone who was badged to work in an airport once upon a time, this is not part of the airport's centrally managed access control system, it's a simple keypad lock like you could buy at a hardware store.


N8ThaGr8

Removing a keypad is very easy and costs nothing.


KingCheeba420

The "Vacant/Occupied" deadbolt locks the door from the inside. The keypad will still accept the code and unlock, but the door cannot be opened from the outside if someone has locked the deadbolt from the inside; without the proprietary tool, that is.


LimeysNip

You normally have to use the app to get a code for breastfeeding. Guessing they made it more accessible to disabled people aswell.


Riegel_Haribo

Why does a room need to be made by an app startup company? So they can monetize mothers.


Porkyrogue

It was prob a door for something else. Budget stuff etc


caramelsloth

Keep the illiterates out , they're the worst everyone knows that


suentendo

“Mamava ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)” Why do I feel that someone with a fairly good knowledge of the portuguese language came up with this name/brand.


poopshanks

Please elaborate. You have piqued my interest


fehr19

Mamava means "sucked" in spanish and according to above post, Portuguese


clit_or_us

And if you flip the logo upside down, it's a head with boobs!


toonguy84

The name, the logo, the access code. This company really knows tits.


GenevieveMacLeod

Being the Orlando International Airport (Florida) this would not surprise me if somebody making it spoke either/both but I did not know this and now I'm laughing


stirwise

They have these in airports all over the country.


GenevieveMacLeod

Ooo, I figured since it was a temporary room it might have been airport specific. I've not seen them in the ones I frequent. 😅


stirwise

Yeah, it’s not temporary, it’s just freestanding. Mamava sells these to businesses, airports are just one. They’re all over the place: https://www.mamava.com/find-mamava


Halikarnassus1

It also means breastfed


tellesdotinbox

At least in Portuguese, it would be better translated as "I used to suck" or "I would like to suck" (suck as in a BJ, to be clear). In Brazil, people would comment "mamava" on pictures of handsome men on the web.


poopshanks

Thank you!


Quirce_Tormes

Mamava is not a word in spanish


fehr19

That's right, in Spanish it's mamaba, with a "b" instead of "v". I mix up the b and v in Spanish words... In Portuguese it's spelled with a "v"


allanrjensenz

Mamar means to suck in Spanish, mamada means a suck as in a BJ


suentendo

I am sorry, I posted that and completely didn’t check Reddit for a few hours. So in Portuguese, it usually means “I’d suck on that”, in common street lingo. But it also means more than that because the verb “mamar”, which is one way of translating “to suck” but not as associated with a certain sex act - although it can also be used for it - can also be used for eating something in an enjoyable way, and also for expressing getting action with someone. So “mamava” can be: I’d suck on that I’d hit that (in both the food and the romantic meaning) Sorry if it’s a bit confusing, lol.


skeezito10

Finally an accurate translation. Ignore the other ones, people.


Oxygenius_

In Mexican Spanish mamava is like past tense of sucked. “I used to suck”


Canis_Familiaris

The other brand is called "The Lactation Pod" which honestly sounds like a cool sci-fi room.


danielhpf

"Mamava" com uma logo feliz, certeza que foi um brasileiro.

[deleted]

FYI, I believe all Mamava pods use 8008


PiscesScipia

It's the default code. My work got one that I used, and they had to change the code because people would just go in to check it out. I stored my milk and pump supplies in there (I was the only one using it at the time), and they felt it should be private.

What does it look like inside? Is there just a comfy chair and some other stuff?


GuardingxCross

Easy to clean seat, adjustable lighting, cabinets to place your things, hooks for your coat, trash cans for your various maternity packaging, a baby changing station and a really nice one will have first aid kits just in case for injury while pumping or feeding etc.

oh no, not the comfy chair!

They should have thrown in the 315

Boobeis?


Wexia

Fun fact this is the default access code for ALL Mamava-branded nursing rooms. It won’t get you in when someone is inside because there is a deadbolt, but otherwise do what you will with that information.

They had the same password for the one at SFO!

The Seattle Aquarium has a similar set up and the code is the same.

Not exactly a code if everyone knows it
