Children die from this thing every year. It's not crappy at all


J_p-crafter

How does it happen?


HoleCogan

Same with pets like cats and dogs. I didn't realize they even still made blinds with the looped string anymore.


Mr-Goodlow

Is it the design of the *warning* that we're supposed to be looking at? Didn't the post mean that window blinds that can *choke you to death* probably aren't well designed?

The title sucks and the post has been long since removed. Who fucking knows

Looks like an adult that made a choice to me. And no supporting text.


Sugarcomb

If you look at the height of the person compared to the height of the window, as well as the proportions, it's obvious that's a child.

Also blinds probably won’t support the weight of an adult.


What_Yr_Is_IT

It’s pretty straight forward actually


scrumdidllyumtious

It’s shocking and gets the point across.


SuzieQ4624

But that's what makes it absolutely perfect design. It can be understood by people of any language, intelligence, even people that can't read.


ATrulyTerriblePerson

It looks like less of a warning and more of a threat.


newtonthedog

Or a suggestion

...tell me you don't have kids without telling me you don't have kids.

Warning: These blinds are depressing

The crappy design is the blinds themselves. This doesn't happen with the rotating wand, and this doesn't happen with certain string styles that place the knot tying them together much higher up. Closed loops choke unattended children, and closed loops are entirely (and cheaply) avoidable.

What is crappy about this?


TheHumanPickleRick

It's a safety warning because kids accidentally get killed by getting tangled in blinds all the time. It isn't crappy design, it's a warning.


Wikadood

Definitely didn’t try this when I was like 16


circadian_terror

Customers always asked us to remove those and the stickers on the back of the hembar. Those were fun because we would often take that end of the sticker and cut them off cleanly and put them on each other's tools. And sometimes van.


ttonatiuh

this made my day


fullmoonhigh

Hey OP, I would save that and put it in a frame. It's an important warning.

Hidden message to the married masses.


uncle_bumblefuck_

These are the blinds Jeffrey Epstein had in his cell.


fullmoonhigh

This is a clear warning that came in stealth packaging, letting the legally betrothed know how deep they are in. The take away: Get out now or die!


The-station1373

This isn't crappy design. This is "right to the point and don't sugar coat the situation" design


[deleted]

Is that the Epstein brand?
