Murder in Daylight


Master Choco is disgusted... big time...

The life-fountain in Simpleville was serviced a few days ago because the Red Tap, which was holistically designed with the safety of the users in mind, was spoilt... It wasn't the first time the Red Tap decided to go ka-poop... The double action safety device to dispense hot water was putting too much strain on the construction and material, and it was designed to fail...

So after a few months of malfunction, the service-man finally came to repair it...

Master Choco witnessed with his own eyes that the repairman took the entire day to change the taps into the normal, safety-less taps, the kind that we find almost everywhere... And Master Choco was quietly rejoicing for he's a firm believer that the simplest design is often the most effective and efficient design...

But lo and behold... The very next day, the taps were changed back to the original ones as shown in the picture above!!!

Daylight Murder!!!

We've made a repairman work one full day on the taps and now it's changed back to the original??? This is Criminal!!!

Master Choco is furiously disgusted... Incidentally and pathetically, he's reminded of the many things that goes on around him that went through the same treatment... So much effort and planning and designing put into place, but we often realise that we tend to have a tendency of finding solutions for problems that we create ourselves...

Another life's little irony...
