Braille in the strangest places

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!
I was at a restaurant last night. The men's room had a Koala Baby Changing Station, with braille instructions on it.

Does anyone else appreciate the strangeness of this?

Nappy changing is one activity where being blind would be a serious liability.
The dogma lives loudly within me.

Seems as though if they can get to the bathroom with a child and diaper bag, then find the table on their own, they probably don't need instructions on how to use it.

That's classic.

The best i ever saw has at an art exhibition at The Baltic and under all the painting blurbs, it was also in braille. I would have though eyesight would have been quite impostant for viewing art as well as changing nappies!

:P

One of my all time favorites, in addition to the time-stamping entry gate at a parking garage. The ADA is nothing if not thorough...
